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 โ€“ 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!

I went through the exact same True ID verification nightmare a few months ago! Here's what finally worked for me: Make sure you're taking photos in good natural light (not fluorescent), hold your documents completely flat against a dark background, and don't use flash. For the selfie part, make sure your face is well-lit and matches your ID photo as closely as possible. Also, try uploading during off-peak hours - I had better luck late at night when their servers weren't overloaded. The whole process took me about 3 weeks total, but once it went through, my benefits were backdated. Stay patient and keep trying different photo angles if they keep rejecting your docs. You've got this! ๐Ÿ’ช

I'm going through something similar right now and this thread has been incredibly helpful! Based on everyone's advice, I'm planning to try the 7:58am calling strategy tomorrow with all my documents ready. Quick question though - for those who successfully got through the True ID verification, did you have to upload documents through the Beacon portal or was it a separate True ID website? I want to make sure I'm submitting everything in the right place. Also, has anyone had luck with the live chat feature on the unemployment website, or is calling really the only way to get real help? Thanks everyone for sharing your experiences - it's reassuring to know we're not alone in this bureaucratic maze! ๐Ÿค

@Bruno Simmons Great question! From my experience, the True ID verification is done through a separate portal that you ll'get redirected to from Beacon. When your account gets flagged, Beacon will usually give you a link or instructions to complete the ID.me verification process. Don t'try to upload documents directly to Beacon - you need to go through the actual True ID/ID.me system. As for live chat, I tried it multiple times and never got anywhere useful - the chat agents seem to have very limited access and just tell you to call. Phone calls are definitely your best bet for getting real help, even though it s'a pain to get through. The 7:58am strategy really does work - I got through on my second try using that method. Make sure you have your case number ready when you call! Good luck tomorrow morning! ๐Ÿ€

To all those having trouble reaching a human at the MD DOL. I just ran across this video that gave me a shortcut to reach a human. Hope it helps! https://youtu.be/byIb7Q_Uvzw

I'm in a similar situation and have been waiting for months. Has anyone had success with the Maryland unemployment online portal recently? I keep getting error messages when I try to check my claim status. Also wondering if there are any local offices that are actually taking walk-ins - the phone lines seem impossible to get through. Any recent updates on processing times would be really helpful!
