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!

Ive been dealing with edd for 6 months now. heres my advice: document EVERYTHING. every call, every letter, every interaction. itll help if you need to escalate or appeal later
That's great advice, thanks! I'll start keeping a log of everything
Anyone else think its crazy that we're all struggling like this just to get the benefits we're entitled to? The whole system needs an overhaul tbh
Preach! 🙌 It's like they forgot the second D in EDD stands for DEVELOPMENT. More like Employment Development Disaster amirite?
For real. We pay into this system our whole working lives and then when we need it, it's a complete mess. Something's gotta change

lol welcome to the wonderful world of EDD where nothing makes sense and timeframes are made up. Seriously tho, hope you get it sorted soon. The waiting game suuuucks.
Have you tried faxing your documents? I know it sounds archaic, but sometimes that gets faster results than submitting online. Worth a shot!
Faxing? What year is it? 😂 But for real, I'll try anything at this point. Do you know what fax number to use?
Lol I know right? Here's the number I used: 1-855-027-1940. Make sure to include your claim number on every page!

This happened to me last month. Turns out there was a glitch in their system affecting a bunch of accounts. Might be worth asking if they're having any known issues when you finally get through to someone.

Classic government efficiency at work 🙄 They probably "lost" your paperwork or something. Buckle up, you're in for a wild ride!
Cmon man, not helpful. Some of us are really struggling here.
Sorry, didn't mean to be insensitive. Just frustrated with the system. Hope OP gets it sorted out soon.
Hey, don't panic! This happened to me last month. Turned out they just needed to verify my identity. I uploaded a copy of my driver's license and social security card, and it was resolved in a few days.
That's good to hear it got resolved quickly! I'll check if they need any documents from me. Thanks for sharing your experience!

Have you checked your UI Online account? Sometimes there's more info there about pending payments that you won't get in the mail.

idk if this helps but I had a similar issue last month. Turns out I had accidentally put the wrong date for when I last worked on one of my certifications. Double check all your recent certs to make sure everythings correct
