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!

I'm dealing with the exact same issue - filed back in September and my payments have been stuck in "pending resolution" for months now. It's so frustrating when you're depending on this money to survive. I've tried calling during different times of day but either get busy signals or sit on hold forever. Has anyone tried contacting their local representatives for help? I heard sometimes they can intervene when cases get stuck like this. We shouldn't have to wait this long for our own money!
Connor, I completely understand your frustration! I'm going through something very similar - been waiting since October myself. You're absolutely right about contacting local representatives - that's actually a really good suggestion. I've heard some people have had success reaching out to their assembly member or even the governor's office when cases get stuck this long. It's ridiculous that we have to jump through these hoops just to get our own benefits, but sometimes having someone with more authority advocate for you can help break through the bureaucratic logjam. Have you tried that route yet? Also, keep documenting everything - dates you called, reference numbers, etc. It might help if you do get through to someone eventually.
I'm so sorry you're going through this, Bre! The same thing happened to me last year and I know how stressful it is. After months of trying to get through on the phone, what finally worked for me was sending a certified letter to with all my documentation and details. I also filed a complaint with the Nevada Department of Employment's ombudsman office. It took about 2-3 weeks after that, but they finally processed my pending payments. Don't give up - you will get your money! In the meantime, document every attempt you make to contact them and keep filing your weekly claims. That backlog will all come through once they resolve whatever is holding up your case.

I'm dealing with something similar right now and it's absolutely maddening. The stress of not knowing when (or if) your benefits will come through while bills pile up is overwhelming. One thing that's helped me stay somewhat sane is creating a daily action plan - even if it's just "call DETR at 8am, check spam folder, research one new resource." It gives me a sense of control when everything feels so helpless. Also, if you have any friends or family who can help with groceries or small expenses while you're waiting, don't be too proud to ask. This system failing you isn't your fault, and accepting help isn't giving up - it's surviving until things get sorted out. Rooting for you! 🤞
Thank you so much for this perspective and the practical advice about making a daily action plan. You're absolutely right that having some structure helps when everything feels out of control. I've been so focused on the big picture stress that I hadn't thought about breaking it down into manageable daily actions. And you're right about asking for help - I've been hesitant because I feel like this should be "temporary" but it's been going on for weeks now. Really appreciate the reminder that this isn't my fault and that surviving the system's failures is what matters right now. Hope your situation gets resolved soon too! 💙
I'm dealing with almost the exact same issue - account went inactive after submitting name change documents and now I can't certify for weeks. The anxiety is crushing when you're watching deadlines approach with no income. A couple things that might help while you're fighting this battle: - Try the DETR Twitter account (@NevadaDETR) - sometimes they respond to DMs faster than phone calls - Document every single interaction with screenshots/photos. I started a folder on my phone with timestamps - If you have a local community action agency, they often have emergency funds for utilities/rent while you're waiting for benefits to resume The waiting game is brutal but keep pushing. Your persistence will pay off. Sending you strength during this nightmare! 🙏

I've been following this thread and wow, there's so much valuable advice here! I'm currently dealing with Nevada DETR myself and have been stuck in the phone loop for about 3 weeks now. @e1d626d161e2 your Assembly member tip is genius - I never thought about going through elected officials for help with unemployment issues. I'm definitely going to try that route first thing Monday morning. @9f241d062528 thanks for mentioning the UI Online backdating option too - I had no idea that existed! It's crazy that we have to become experts in navigating broken systems just to get benefits we're entitled to, but I'm grateful for this community sharing real solutions that actually work. Going to combine the early morning calling strategy with the Assembly member outreach and see what happens. Fingers crossed! 🤞
You're so right about having to become experts in broken systems! It's wild that we need a whole community strategy just to access basic benefits. The combination approach seems to be the winning formula based on everyone's experiences here. I'd also suggest keeping a simple notepad by your phone for those 8am calls - jot down who you spoke with, reference numbers, what they told you, etc. Sometimes having that person's name when you call back can help you get routed to someone who actually knows your case. Good luck with the Assembly member route - that seems to be the secret weapon everyone wishes they'd known about sooner! 💪
Hey @c6513c4cb9d1, I just went through this exact situation a few months ago! After reading all the great advice in this thread, I want to add one more strategy that worked for me: try calling the DETR fraud hotline instead of the main number. I know it sounds weird, but they often have shorter wait times and can transfer you to the right department once you explain you're trying to file for backdated benefits, not report fraud. The number is different from the main line and I got through in about 20 minutes versus the hours I was spending on the regular number. Also, totally agree with everyone saying to document everything - I kept a simple Google doc with dates, times, and what happened on each call. When I finally got through, having those details ready made the whole conversation go much smoother. Don't give up! The money is yours and you WILL get it eventually! 💪
That's such a clever workaround @fd274259be3e! I never would have thought to try the fraud hotline - sometimes thinking outside the box is exactly what you need with these systems. The shorter wait times alone make it worth trying. Your Google doc documentation tip is spot on too - having all those details organized probably made you sound way more credible when you finally got someone on the line. Thanks for sharing another creative solution to add to everyone's toolkit! This thread has become like a master class in navigating DETR 😅

This whole thread is like a masterclass in navigating DETR! 📚 I've been bookmarking all these strategies - the auto-redialer app, calling at 8 AM sharp, using the technical support line for transfers, having everything written down beforehand. It's honestly wild that we've had to create our own unofficial guide just to access basic services, but I'm so grateful this community exists. About to try the Tuesday/Wednesday 8 AM technical support transfer combo that seems to be working for people. Fingers crossed! And to the original poster - don't lose hope, these folks have given you a goldmine of actually tested strategies. We've got your back! 💪

•This thread really has become like the unofficial DETR survival guide! 😅 I'm new here but have been struggling with the same issues for weeks. Reading through everyone's strategies has given me so much hope - it's clear that persistence and the right timing really do make a difference. I'm going to try the Tuesday 8 AM technical support transfer approach tomorrow morning with everything written down ahead of time. Thank you all for creating this amazing resource for fellow claimants - it's proof that when the system fails us, we can still help each other succeed! 🙏

Reading through all these strategies has been incredibly helpful! As someone who's been dealing with DETR issues for months, I'm amazed at how this community has basically created the ultimate survival guide. I tried calling 47 times last week with no luck, but now I have a whole arsenal of new approaches to try - the Tuesday 8 AM technical support line transfer method sounds like a game changer. It's absolutely ridiculous that we need to strategize like we're planning a military operation just to file a weekly claim, but I'm so grateful for everyone sharing their hard-earned wisdom. Going to prep everything tonight and try the combo approach tomorrow morning. This thread gives me hope that there's actually light at the end of the tunnel! 🤞✨
