If I could give 10 stars I would
If I could give 10 stars I would If I could give 10 stars I would Such an amazing service so needed during the times when EDD almost never picks up Claimyr gets me on the phone with EDD every time without fail faster. A much needed service without Claimyr I would have never received the payment I needed to support me during my postpartum recovery. Thank you so much Claimyr!
Really made a difference
Really made a difference, save me time and energy from going to a local office for making the call.
Worth not wasting your time calling for hours.
Was a bit nervous or untrusting at first, but my calls went thru. First time the wait was a bit long but their customer chat line on their page was helpful and put me at ease that I would receive my call. Today my call dropped because of EDD and Claimyr heard my concern on the same chat and another call was made within the hour.
An incredibly helpful service
An incredibly helpful service! Got me connected to a CA EDD agent without major hassle (outside of EDD's agents dropping calls – which Claimyr has free protection for). If you need to file a new claim and can't do it online, pay the $ to Claimyr to get the process started. Absolutely worth it!
Consistent,frustration free, quality Service.
Used this service a couple times now. Before I'd call 200 times in less than a weak frustrated as can be. But using claimyr with a couple hours of waiting i was on the line with an representative or on hold. Dropped a couple times but each reconnected not long after and was mission accomplished, thanks to Claimyr.
IT WORKS!! Not a scam!
I tried for weeks to get thru to EDD PFL program with no luck. I gave this a try thinking it may be a scam. OMG! It worked and They got thru within an hour and my claim is going to finally get paid!! I upgraded to the $60 call. Best $60 spent!

Pro tip: if you do get through, ask for a direct extension or email for follow-up. It can save you a ton of time if you need to contact them again.
This! 💯 I got a direct line last time and it was a game changer.

Not to freak you out, but my card never came 😭 Had to call and request a new one. Turns out there was a mixup with my address. Def double check all your info is correct!
Oh no, that sounds like a nightmare! I'll definitely double-check everything. How long did it take to get the new card once you requested it?
It took about 10 business days. Not ideal, but at least it finally came!

This is why we need to vote for better leadership. The whole system is a joke. 🤡
Preach! 🙌 But let's not turn this into a political debate. OP needs real solutions.
Pro tip: If you're really in a bind, you can request an emergency payment. Call and specifically ask for a "manual payment" or "off-line payment." They can issue it while you wait for your card. It's not guaranteed, but worth a shot if you're desperate.
Wow, I had no idea this was possible. Thank you so much for the info!
This is gold 💯 Wish I knew this months ago!

Am I the only one who thinks its ridiculous that we have to jump through so many hoops just to understand our own tax situation? 🤦♂️
Preach! 🙌 The whole system needs an overhaul.
For real. In some countries, the government just sends you a completed tax form and you just verify it. Why can't we have that?

Y'all ever think about how much time we waste dealing with this bs? Like, we could probably solve world hunger with all the collective hours spent on hold with EDD 🤔

•lmao true. EDD should hire us all as phone operators. We're basically experts at this point 🤣

Here's what I've learned after dealing with EDD for months: 1. Always certify on time, even if your payment is delayed 2. Keep detailed records of all your communications with EDD 3. Check your spam folder regularly for EDD emails 4. If you can't get through on the phone, try contacting your local assembly member's office 5. Be patient but persistent. The system is overwhelmed, but your claim will eventually be processed Hang in there, everyone. We're all in this together. 💪
