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!

Try contacting your local assemblymember or state senator. They sometimes can help push things through faster. Worth a shot!

Has anyone else noticed that the EDD website is always "under maintenance" when you actually need to use it? It's like they're trolling us at this point. 🙄

Here's a comprehensive guide to troubleshooting language issues on the unemployment portal: 1. Clear your browser cache and cookies 2. Try a different browser (Chrome tends to work best) 3. Use incognito/private browsing mode 4. Check your account settings for a language preference option 5. If using a mobile device, try on a desktop computer instead 6. Look for a language toggle on the login page (sometimes it's hidden in a dropdown menu) 7. If all else fails, contact support via email and specifically request a language change on your account Hope this helps! Let us know what ends up working for you.

Am I the only one who thinks its ridiculous that we even have to deal with this? In 2023, you'd think they'd have a better system in place. SMH

0 coins

You're preaching to the choir, my friend. The whole system needs an overhaul.

am i the only 1 who thinks its crazy we have to jump through all these hoops just to get basic info about OUR OWN CASES??? the system is so broken smh 🤦‍♂️

0 coins

Preach! 🙌 It's like they're trying to make it as difficult as possible. We're already dealing with health issues, we don't need this extra stress!

For real tho. It's 2023, why can't they just text us this stuff? Or have a decent app? Smh

Here's what you need to do: 1. Keep trying the main DI office number. Be persistent! 2. Check your email and spam folder for any digital notices. 3. If you have an online account with the DI office, log in and check for any messages or appointment details. 4. If all else fails, show up to the office in person as early as possible. Explain your situation and they might be able to help you on the spot. 5. For future reference, always make copies or take pictures of important documents. Remember, stay calm and polite when dealing with the staff. Good luck!

Thank you so much for this detailed advice! I'm gonna keep trying the phone line for now, but if that doesn't work, I'll definitely head down there in person.

0 coins

This is solid advice. I'd add: if you go in person, bring any related documents you have. The more info you can provide, the better.

Okay, listen up. I've been through this rodeo before, and here's what you need to do: 1. Document everything. Write down dates, times, and names of anyone you talk to at EDD. 2. Check your email (including spam) for any messages from EDD about identity verification. 3. Gather all your identity documents: driver's license, social security card, utility bills, etc. 4. Keep calling EDD. Yes, it's a pain, but persistence pays off. Try different times of day. 5. If you can't get through on the phone, try reaching out on social media. Sometimes they respond there. 6. Consider contacting your local state representative's office. They can sometimes intervene on your behalf. 7. Don't panic. I know it's stressful, but there are processes in place to resolve this. It might take time, but you'll get it sorted. Remember, you're not alone in this. The system is overwhelmed, but keep pushing. You got this! 💪

Great advice! I'd add: keep a record of all your attempts to contact them. It could help if you need to escalate the issue.

Also, be polite yet firm when speaking with representatives. It can make a difference.
