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 OP, what county are you in? Some counties are worse than others with this stuff. Might help to know for giving more specific advice.
I'm in Los Angeles County. Does that change anything?
Oof, LA is tough. Big population, overworked staff. Definitely try the in-person route if you can. The Glendale office tends to be less crowded if that's not too far for you.

Plot twist: what if we all showed up at the DPSS office at once? They couldn't ignore us then lol
Lmao imagine the chaos 🤣 But for real, that might actually work...
I'm down if y'all are 👀

Anyone else notice how the EBT system always seems to have issues right when you need it most? 🙄 It's like they time it or smthn
Ikr? It's like they KNOW when rent is due 😭
Conspiracy theory: they do it on purpose to save money 🤔

LPT: If you're having trouble recertifying, contact your local state representative's office. They often have liaisons who can help cut through the red tape.
This! 👆 I did this last year and they sorted everything out in like 2 days. Wish I'd known about it sooner.

PSA: Don't forget to gather all your documents before starting the recertification process! You'll need proof of income, rent/mortgage, utilities, etc. Makes it go way smoother if you have everything ready.
This! 👆 I learned this the hard way and had to start over because I didn't have all my docs ready. Such a time-waster.
Has anyone else noticed that the DPSS website is always down for maintenance when you actually need to use it? It's like they know exactly when I'm free to do this stuff 🙄
Omg yes! I swear it's a conspiracy to make us miss deadlines 😂
Pro tip: they usually do maintenance on weekends. Try accessing it on a weekday if you can!

Hey OP, here's a detailed breakdown of what you need to do for recertification: 1. Gather all required documents: - Pay stubs (last 30 days) - Bank statements (last 3 months) - Rent/mortgage proof - Utility bills - Any changes in household composition 2. Fill out the recertification form completely. Double-check everything! 3. Submit everything before the deadline. Early is better. 4. Keep copies of EVERYTHING you submit. 5. Follow up within a week to make sure they received your docs. 6. If you don't hear back within 30 days, start calling or try to visit in person. Hope this helps! Let me know if you have any questions.
Wow, thank you so much for this detailed response! This is super helpful. Quick question - do you know if they accept digital copies of documents?
Glad to help! As for digital copies, it depends. Some offices accept uploads through their portal, but others still require physical copies. I'd call and ask to be sure.

Okay, let me break down what I've learned about the recertification process after dealing with this for months: • Always keep copies of EVERYTHING you submit. They have a habit of "losing" documents. • If possible, submit your recertification online AND by mail. Belt and suspenders approach. • Call first thing in the morning, like 7:59 AM. Be ready to hit redial. • If you get a helpful agent, write down their name and ID number. • Check your case status online regularly. Sometimes they update it without notifying you. • If you're really stuck, reach out to your local assemblymember's office. They can sometimes expedite things. • Don't give up! It's frustrating, but persistence pays off. Hope this helps someone. We're all in this together!
This is gold! Thanks for taking the time to write all this out. Saving this for future reference.
The assemblymember tip is clutch. They helped me resolve an issue that had been dragging on for months.

This might sound crazy, but have you tried faxing them? I know it's 2023, but sometimes old school methods work when everything else fails.
Lol, I know right? But there are online fax services. Worth a shot when you're desperate!
I actually tried this as a last resort, and surprisingly, got a response. Crazy but true!

Hey OP, just a heads up - there was a news article yesterday about some CalWORKs payments being delayed due to a system upgrade. Might be why you haven't received yours yet.

Anyone else feel like we're always playing catch-up with these benefits? It's like they expect us to live on air while they sort out their issues 🤦♀️
