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!

Has anyone tried using the online portal instead of calling? I've had some success submitting questions there, although it can take a few days to get a response.

Have you checked if there are any updates or known issues on the EDD website? Sometimes they post alerts about system problems or delays.
This might sound crazy, but have you tried faxing your documents? I know it's 2023, but sometimes these government agencies are stuck in the stone age. It worked for me when nothing else did.
Faxing? Seriously? I don't even know where to find a fax machine these days lol. But at this point, I'm willing to try anything. Thanks for the suggestion!
You can use online fax services if you don't have access to a physical fax machine. Just Google 'online fax service' and you'll find plenty of options.

have you checked your mail carefully? sometimes they send important notices that look like junk mail 👀
Good point, I'll double check my mail pile. Wouldn't put it past them to make important stuff look like spam 🙄
This happened to me last year. Turns out my claim had expired and I needed to file a new one. Might be worth checking if that's your issue too.
Oh man, I didn't even think of that. How do I check if my claim expired?
Log into your EDD account online. It should show your claim status and end date. If it's expired, you'll need to file a new claim.

•It's hit or miss, but I've seen some people get help that way. Worth a shot if nothing else is working.
