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!

Pro tip: if u have irregular income (like sales commissions or seasonal work), make sure to emphasize your highest-earning quarters when u file. It can make a big difference in ur benefit amount!

Oh that's good to know! My income does vary quite a bit. I'll definitely keep that in mind when I'm filing.

Anyone know if gig work (like Uber or DoorDash) affects unemployment eligibility? I've been doing some deliveries to make ends meet while job hunting.

Ah ok, that makes sense. So I should still apply even tho I'm doing some gig work? And just report the earnings each week?

0 coins

Exactly! Always better to apply and be honest about your situation. They'll determine your eligibility and guide you on reporting.

Have you tried reaching out to your local representative? Sometimes they can help push things through faster.

I hadn't thought of that! Do you know how I would go about contacting them?

0 coins

Just google your district and 'state representative'. Most have contact forms on their websites. Explain your situation and they might be able to help!

Honestly, I think it was just persistence. I called every day for a week straight until I got someone who actually knew what they were doing.
