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!

I was on hold with the music playing and after 12 minutes the music stopped but no one has answered. I have not been but I don’t think I’m really on hold anymore. What should I do? I have been listening to for almost 5 minutes.

This is incorrect - a 0 balance means you were denied benefits or had an old and the new one has not yet been approved/updated. Check the amount on your award - if it states 0, this is a denial.

I’ve learned a lot from Ginny’s channel and you were a thankful person who taught me Claimyr so I could get it resolved after speaking with thru Claimyr and a local assembly member involved ( I watched when you called Claimyr directly and got through; test call 😏) and I’ve been a subscriber over a year, I guess. When started. Maybe over 2 years, not sure but I’ve watched every day and asked you on comment when I had over pandemic. However, I had a different experience with claim. I have an experience because of Edd’s error over my claim. I first received 0 balance determination award and then I thought I was disqualified.  But then 1-2 weeks later, I received both disqualification and an award showing updated a benefit amount. So that was super mess experience. I got super confused with two different outcome so I called and tier 2 said I’m qualified so disregard a disqualification notice. So I think if doesn’t mind paying claimyr to speak with tier 2, I still believe it’s best to contact to double check if it’s truly or not or who mind calling may send a message to to double check. I am thankful works very hard but I personally don’t trust 100% because they gave me lots of difficult time over their outdated system and mistake. I still remembered every time I speak with them, all responded differently on the same day. One agent told me I got no identity issue and everything looks good but the other agent told me I got an identity issue. I am just trying to learn by watching your channels, Shelly’s, other channels, official website, tier 2 directly or thru other claimants who are willing to share their story over representatives. So I’ve been your fan for Edd’s ( I was a commenter you are better than 😬and you should work for ) but, I would like to share there was an when made a mistake. I thought I was a victim at that time with two different outcomes. Anyway, have a good night…It’s 3 am in the morning. 😬

By the way this is if he has trouble logging in, if he can already log in then him changing his email shouldn't be a problem.

You'd think after your doc sent those papers twice, they'd get their act together, right? Here's a game plan: dig up all the and from when your first sent your papers. That paper trail could be key in showing EDD that they've been sitting on your case for way too long. Also, it wouldn't hurt to connect with others who might be going through the same ordeal. They might have some insights or even some proof that can help your case. The more people pushing for a resolution, the better. Keep on them and don't let up. You've got this! 💪📃✨
