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!

Remember when we thought 2020 was gonna be our year? Now we're all experts in unemployment benefits. What a time to be alive 🙃
It's true, the pandemic shook things up and now we're all involuntary experts.
Hey, just wanted to add that Claimyr, while a useful tool for some, may not be a perfect fit for everyone. It can certainly make the process of reaching EDD more efficient, but not everyone can justify the cost. Some people might prefer to try other methods like visiting an EDD office or using online resources that might not incur a fee. It's all about weighing the benefits against your current situation.

That sounds really tough. I hope things get better for you soon. It's crazy how long these processes can take.

I had a similar issue last year. Turns out there was a glitch in their system. Keep calling and don't give up! Eventually, you'll get someone who can help.
have you tried contacting your local assemblymember? they can sometimes help speed things up
Definitely agree with contacting your local representative. They often have special channels to expedite such issues.
I found a method to get someone on the phone. I used this site's (claimyr.com) calling tool that dials the phone menu, stays on hold, waits for a live agent to pick up, then sends the call to my phone. It does cost $20, but it works. Here's the URL: https://claimyr.com
I get it, but think about how much time you waste on hold. Time is money, ya know?
I've used Claimyr too, and while it does work, it's unfortunate that such a service is needed in the first place. Hopefully, EDD improves accessibility soon.

Okay, let me break this down for you based on my experience and what I've learned from dealing with EDD for way too long: 1. First, don't panic. Sometimes payments can be delayed for various reasons. 2. Double-check your certification: - Make sure you answered all questions correctly - Verify that you reported any income accurately - Check if you accidentally put in the wrong dates 3. Check your UI Online account: - Look for any new messages or notices - See if your claim status has changed - Verify your payment history to ensure there are no discrepancies 4. Identity verification: - EDD might need additional proof of identity - Check if you've received any requests for documents 5. Contacting EDD: - Try calling early in the morning (right when they open) - Use the online contact form if you can't get through by phone - Consider using a paid service like Claimyr if you're desperate (though it sucks we have to pay extra) 6. Last resort options: - Contact your local assembly member's office for help - File an appeal if you believe there's been a mistake Remember, the system is overwhelmed, so patience is key. But don't be afraid to be persistent if you need that money. Good luck!
Great advice! Just wanna add that contacting your assembly member can be surprisingly effective. They have special channels to EDD.
Also, if you're able, try visiting an EDD office in person. Sometimes face-to-face can expedite things.
Guys, I think we're all missing the bigger picture here. The whole system is designed to be frustrating so fewer people claim benefits. It's all part of the plan 👀
Wake up, sheeple! 🐑 You really think a system this broken is an accident?
Whether planned or not, the effect is the same. It's tough for anyone relying on benefits.

Plot twist: the decision letter never existed. It's all just a simulation and we're living in the matrix 🕴️👀
