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!

This is why we need major reform in our social safety net. The system is clearly not equipped to handle crises like COVID. It's failing the very people it's supposed to help. We need to vote for representatives who will prioritize fixing these broken systems.
100% agree. But good luck getting politicians to care about us little guys 🙄
Maybe we should all run for office lol. Can't do worse than the current bunch!

Jean Claude, I'm so sorry you're going through this. As someone who works with families in crisis, I want to make sure you know about a few resources that might help while you're fighting EDD: 1. CalFresh (food stamps) has emergency provisions for homeless families - you can apply with no address 2. WIC if your child qualifies - they have special provisions for homeless families 3. 211 (dial 2-1-1) connects you to local resources including emergency housing assistance 4. Many counties have emergency rental assistance programs that can help prevent further displacement For EDD specifically, definitely try the assemblymember route - use any previous address or a friend's. Also, some legal aid societies have special EDD units now because this is such a widespread problem. You're not alone in this fight. Keep documenting everything and don't give up. Your child needs their mom to keep fighting, and you've got this! 💪

Pro tip: If you're expecting a large refund, consider adjusting your estimated tax payments for next year. It's better to keep that money in your business than give the state an interest-free loan.

Has anyone dealt with the FTB sending a "Notice of Proposed Assessment" during a refund review? I got one last week and I'm not sure if this is normal or if it means there's a problem with my return. The notice is asking for additional documentation, but my refund status online still shows "processing." Should I be worried? 😰
