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!

Just wanted to add another potential solution - sometimes the reopen option is only visible during certain hours or days of the week due to system maintenance windows. I've noticed the Colorado CDLE website sometimes hides certain features during their overnight processing times (usually between 11 PM and 6 AM). Also, if you filed your original claim during a holiday period or busy season, there might be special restrictions on when you can reopen. Try checking the site during normal business hours on a weekday if you haven't already. And make sure you're using the direct CDLE website and not going through any third-party sites - I've seen people get confused because some unofficial sites don't have all the same options. Hope you get it sorted out soon!
Great point about the system maintenance windows! I've definitely noticed the CDLE site acting weird during off hours. Just to add to this - I found that using Chrome instead of Safari also made a difference for me. Some of these government sites seem to work better with certain browsers. Also, if you're using any ad blockers or privacy extensions, try disabling them temporarily - sometimes they can interfere with the site's functionality. The whole thing is so finicky but between all these suggestions hopefully something works!
I'm dealing with the exact same issue right now! It's so frustrating when you need to reopen your claim and the website just doesn't cooperate. Based on what everyone's shared here, I'm going to try a few things: first clearing my browser cache like Alana suggested, then checking for any pending verification requirements in my account messages, and looking in the "Claim Status" section that Emma mentioned. If none of that works, I might have to bite the bullet and either call or try that claimyr service that Sara talked about. Thanks everyone for all the helpful suggestions - it's nice to know I'm not the only one struggling with this system! Will update if I figure it out.
Hey! I'm new to this whole unemployment process but reading through all these suggestions has been super helpful. I'm actually worried I might run into the same issue when I need to file my claim soon. Question for everyone - is there a way to prevent these kinds of problems from happening in the first place? Like should I be doing something specific when I first file to make sure reopening goes smoothly later? Also, has anyone tried contacting their local workforce center for help with website issues? I saw one mentioned in my area and wondering if they might be able to assist with navigating the online system. Thanks for all the great advice in this thread!

This is why we need to overhaul the entire unemployment system. It's a joke that people have to wait months to get the help they need. 😤
Preach! 🙌 The whole thing is held together with duct tape and prayers at this point

This happened to my cousin last year. Turns out there was a glitch in their system that wasn't counting some people's income correctly. Might be worth asking if that could be the issue.

•A glitch? That's wild. You'd think they'd have better systems in place for something so important.

•You'd think, but government tech is notoriously outdated. 🤷♂️

I went through this exact same situation about 6 months ago. The key is to file an appeal immediately - you usually have 30 days from the denial date. When you call, specifically ask to speak with someone about "wage verification" and mention that you have documentation (your W2) that contradicts their records. I had to fax my W2 and last few paystubs to their appeals department. It took about 3 weeks, but they eventually corrected it and I got all my back pay. Don't give up - you've got the paperwork to back up your claim!

•This is super helpful! I didn't even know about the appeal process. How do you file an appeal - is there a specific form or do you just call and ask for it? And when you say "appeals department," is that different from the regular customer service line? Thanks for sharing your experience, it gives me hope that this can actually get resolved! 🙏
