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!

alguien sabe si puedo cambiar mi dirección si me mudé a otro estado? o tengo que cerrar mi reclamo en california y abrir uno nuevo aca?

Si te mudaste fuera de California, generalmente tienes que cerrar tu reclamo aquí y abrir uno nuevo en tu nuevo estado. Cada estado maneja sus propios beneficios de desempleo.

I had this exact same issue last month. Turns out there was a glitch in their system that was causing a bunch of claims to need "reopening" even though they were active. When I finally got through, the rep fixed it in like 2 minutes. Such a waste of time and stress.

0 coins

Oh wow, that's good to know. Maybe that's what's happening with mine too. Did you have to do anything special to get it fixed?

0 coins

Nah, the rep just had to do something on their end. But def mention the glitch when u get through, might save some time

Quick question - did you file a new claim in CA or are you trying to transfer an existing claim? The process can be different depending on your situation.

0 coins

I filed a new claim in CA. Should I have done something differently?

0 coins

Nah, you did it right. Just making sure! The transfer should happen automatically, but it can take a few weeks. Hang in there!

Anyone else notice that the website is always "undergoing maintenance" when you actually need to use it? 🙄

0 coins

omg yes! Its like they know exactly when I'm gonna log in and shut it down just to mess with me 😂

Hey OP, what exactly does your claim status say? Sometimes the wording can give you a clue about what's holding things up.

0 coins

It just says "under review". Super helpful, right? 🙃

0 coins

Ugh, classic EDD. Vague and unhelpful as always. Hang in there!

This whole system is rigged against us, I swear. They make it so hard to get benefits on purpose. 😤

Preach! 🙌 It's like they want us to give up.

C'mon guys, it's not a conspiracy. The system is just outdated and overloaded.

Hey, has anyone else noticed that the EDD website is super slow lately? Wonder if that's related to OP's issue...
