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!

I hadn't thought of that. How would I go about doing that?

Just google your state rep or congressman. They usually have a 'constituent services' section on their website where you can submit your issue.

OP, what state are you in? The process can vary a bit depending on location.

I'm in California. Does that change things?

Ah, gotcha. Yeah, CA has its own quirks. Might want to check out the EDD website for state-specific info.

Anyone know if the rules have changed recently? I heard something about new requirements but idk if its true

I think they added some new job search requirements. Check the EDD website for the latest info.

Have you tried reaching out to your local assembly member? Sometimes they can help speed things up with EDD.

You can look it up on the California State Assembly website. Just enter your address and it'll show you who represents your district.

Thanks! I'll give that a try.

What kind of issue did you identify? Sometimes depending on the problem, there are different ways to handle it.

It's related to my weekly certifications. I think I made a mistake on one of them.

0 coins

Ah, I see. In that case, you might want to try submitting a request for backdate or correction through your UI Online account. It could be faster than waiting for a callback.

Pro tip: call right when they open. I always get through within 15 minutes if I call at 8:01 AM sharp.

Have you tried checking your claim status online? Sometimes it updates there before they actually tell you anything on the phone.

Quick question: does anyone know if reapplying affects your weekly benefit amount? I'm worried it might go down if I reapply.

0 coins

It can change based on your recent work history. If you earned less in the past year, it might go down. But it could also go up if you earned more!

0 coins

Ah, that makes sense. Fingers crossed it doesn't decrease then. Thanks for the info!

PSA: Be super careful when reapplying! I made a tiny mistake on my form and it delayed my benefits for weeks. Triple check everything before you submit!
