EDD callback service called Claimyr - is it legit or a scam?

I know EXACTLY what you're talking about - it's called Claimyr and it's 100% legit. Used it about a month ago when my certification wouldn't go through and I was getting the dreaded "max callers reached" message for days. Paid their fee and got a call back from an actual EDD agent within like 2 hours. They have a video showing how it works here: https://youtu.be/JmuwXR7HA10?si=TSwYbu_GOwYzt9km. The website is claimyr.com if you wanna check it out. Totally worth it when you're desperate and can't waste anymore time calling.

Wait, you have to PAY to talk to EDD?? That's ridiculous! Our tax dollars already fund this government service that should be accessible to everyone. Smh the whole system is so broken if people are desperate enough to pay extra just to get what they're entitled to. 🤬

I was skeptical about Claimyr at first too, but it actually does work. The way I understand it, they use an automated system to keep dialing EDD until they get through, then they connect you with the agent. Just make sure you answer your phone when they call back! The first time I missed it and had to start over.

Just wanted to add some context on why EDD is so hard to reach. They're chronically understaffed and their phone system can only handle a limited number of calls in queue. When you consider there are thousands of claimants calling simultaneously every day, especially Monday-Wednesday, it creates a bottleneck. If you don't want to pay for a service, here are some tips that might help: 1. Call right when they open at 8am 2. Try on Thursdays or Fridays when call volume is lower 3. Use the contact form on UI Online and request a callback 4. Contact your state assembly member's office for assistance But honestly, if your situation is urgent and you've been trying unsuccessfully for days, services like Claimyr make sense for many people.

i had same problem last yr and wasted like 2 weeks trying to get thru. ended up using claimyr and it worked but felt stupid paying extra $$ just to talk to edd. system is so broken lol. but yeah at least it works

did anyone try that twitter thing? i heard if u tweet @edd_ca_gov they sometimes respond faster lol worth a shot maybe

Before you pay for anything, have you tried calling the alternate EDD numbers? Sometimes the disability or employer lines have shorter waits and they can transfer you to the right department. Also try the 833 number instead of the 800 number. That worked for me back in December when my certification got stuck in pending for no reason.

hey did u end up using claimyr? did it work? im in same boat rn and wondering if i should try it

Just a tip for anyone using Claimyr or finally getting through to EDD some other way - make sure you have all your claim info ready! Nothing worse than finally getting an agent and then scrambling for your paperwork or not being able to answer their security questions. Have your claim number, last employer info, and dates of employment handy.
