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!

This whole system is broken af. Why can't they just have a simple online rescheduling tool? It's 2023 ffs 🤦♂️
Preach! 🙌 The government is stuck in the stone age when it comes to tech
Anyone know if there's a penalty for missing the interview? Like, do they reduce your benefits or something?
As far as I know, there's no direct penalty. But obviously, your benefits won't start until you complete the interview process.
I think if you miss multiple interviews they might flag your account for review. But one missed interview shouldn't be a big deal if you reschedule.

The whole system is broken. I've been trying to get my claim sorted for months. It's like they don't even care about us. 😤
Preach! 🙌 The government needs to get its act together.
Here's what I've learned after dealing with disability for way too long: • Keep a log of all your calls (date, time, who you spoke to if you get through) • Use the online portal as much as possible for updates • If you do get through, ask for a direct number or extension • Be persistent but polite - the person on the other end is probably overwhelmed too • Have all your docs ready before you call (claim number, ID, etc.) • If all else fails, contact your state representative Hang in there, OP. It's a frustrating process, but don't give up!
Thank you so much for this detailed advice! I'll definitely start keeping a log. Do you know if there's a best time of day to call?
In my experience, early morning (right when they open) or mid-afternoon on Wednesdays or Thursdays seem to have shorter wait times. But it can still be hit or miss.

Have you tried reaching out to your local assembly member's office? They can sometimes help push things through with EDD.

•Just google '[your city] assembly member' and it should come up. Their offices are usually pretty helpful with EDD issues.
