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!

Hey Mei! I went through this process about 6 months ago and it was actually pretty straightforward. One thing I'd add to the great advice already given - bring multiple copies of everything! They sometimes need to keep documents or make copies, and having extras saved me a trip back. Also, if you're nervous, you can always ask to reschedule if you need more time to gather documents. The caseworkers are usually understanding. You've got this! 💪

•This is such solid advice! I never would have thought about bringing multiple copies - that's really smart. It's reassuring to hear that the caseworkers are understanding too. Thanks for sharing your experience! 😊

Hey Mei! Just wanted to add one more tip that helped me - if you're receiving any kind of unemployment benefits or have recently lost a job, make sure to bring documentation of that too. They'll want to see the timeline and amounts. Also, if you have kids, don't forget their Social Security cards and birth certificates. The interview really isn't as intimidating as it feels beforehand - most of the caseworkers I've dealt with genuinely want to help you get the assistance you need. Take a deep breath, you're going to do great! 🌺

Have you checked your spam folder? Sometimes their emails end up there. Also, make sure to answer ANY call, even if you don't recognize the number. They often call from blocked or weird numbers.
This is so frustrating and unfortunately way too common. Here's what worked for me when I was in the same situation: 1. Keep calling first thing in the morning (8am sharp) - that's when you have the best chance of getting through 2. Try calling different offices in your area if there are multiple locations 3. If you can, go in person to your local office. Sometimes face-to-face gets better results 4. Document everything - dates you called, times, any reference numbers they give you Also, don't wait around! You can usually request to reschedule your interview if they missed the first one. The clock is still ticking on your application timeline, so the sooner you get this sorted the better. Good luck! 🤞

Hang in there, OP. We've all been in the same boat. The system is broken, but don't give up. Your benefits are important and worth fighting for. 💪

I went through this exact same thing last month! After getting transferred and disconnected multiple times, I found that calling the main DHS number and pressing 0 repeatedly during the automated menu sometimes gets you to a human faster. Also, if you have any documentation from your original interview attempt (like a case number or reference number), mention that right away when you do get through - it helps them track what happened. Don't give up! I know it's incredibly frustrating but persistence pays off. You might also want to check if your local DHS office has walk-in hours as a backup option.

•This is really helpful! I've been pressing random numbers hoping to get through but the "press 0 repeatedly" trick sounds way smarter. Do you remember roughly how many times you had to press 0 before it worked? And thanks for mentioning the case number thing - I do have one from when they first called me, so I'll make sure to have that ready!
