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!

Ugh, I feel for you. The whole system is so broken. I had to jump through so many hoops just to get my regular unemployment. It's like they don't want us to get the benefits we're entitled to 🙄

Preach! 👏 The system is designed to wear us down, I swear.

Hey, just a heads up - make sure you're still certifying for that week even though you're in training. Some people forget and it can mess up your claim.

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

0 coins

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

Preach! 🙌 Sometimes I wonder if they intentionally make it confusing just to discourage people.

Nah, never attribute to malice what can be explained by incompetence. The EDD is just a hot mess express 🤡

Hey OP, make sure to check your online account too. Sometimes they post more detailed info there that doesn't make it into the letters they send out. Good luck!

Has anyone else noticed that the website is always 'under maintenance' when you try to log in late at night? It's like they don't want us to access our accounts or something. 🤔

Have you considered reaching out to your local representative? Sometimes they can help push things along.

0 coins

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?

0 coins

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