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!

Yo diría que pruebes primero con la opción de $20. Si ves que tarda mucho, siempre puedes actualizar después. No pierdes nada por intentar primero la opción más económica.

Alguien sabe si hay alguna diferencia en el proceso dependiendo del estado en el que vives? Estoy en California y no sé si eso afecta en algo

Sip, cada estado tiene sus propias reglas y procesos. En Cali suele ser más lento por la cantidad de gente, así que la actualización podría valer más la pena ahí.

Has anyone heard about the new bill they're trying to pass that might affect unemployment benefits? Wonder if that'll make the renewal process any easier (or harder 😩

I heard something about that! Apparently, it's supposed to streamline the whole process. But knowing the government, who knows if it'll actually help 🙄

Pro tip: If you're having trouble reaching someone at EDD, try calling right when they open. I usually have better luck getting through first thing in the morning.

Pro tip: start a job search log if you haven't already. Sometimes these reviews are just to make sure you're actively looking for work. Having documentation ready can speed things up.

This! 💯 I keep a spreadsheet with dates, company names, and positions I've applied for. Saved my butt during a review.

Anyone else feel like they're playing unemployment benefit roulette? One week everything's fine, the next you're under review. It's exhausting.

Anyone know if theres a way to do this online? I hate calling...

I wish! As far as I know, you gotta call for this one. The online system is useless for reopening claims 🙄

Just went through this last month. Be prepared for a loooong wait. Bring snacks 🍿

have you considered setting up an LLC and paying yourself as an employee? might be a way to get back into the system for future benefits. just a thought 💭

Interesting idea! I'll have to look into the pros and cons of that. Thanks for the suggestion!
