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!

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

I've been dealing with this OTHER PAY nonsense for months now. Turns out my employer reported my final paycheck wrong and it's been a nightmare to fix. Don't give up, OP!

Oh no, that sounds awful! How long did it take you to get it sorted out?

0 coins

It took about 3 months of back and forth. Stay on top of it and keep calling!

Has anyone tried reaching out to their state rep about these issues? I've heard sometimes they can help cut through the red tape.

0 coins

I did! It actually helped speed things up. Def worth a shot if ur stuck

Oof, account lockouts are the worst. Here's what I'd try: 1. Password reset (obvi) 2. Check your email for any notifications from EDD 3. Try logging in from a different device or browser 4. Clear your cache and cookies 5. If all else fails, call their support line Hope this helps! Let us know if you get it sorted.

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 😩

0 coins

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.

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

0 coins

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.
