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!

my cousin had this problem and she just gave up after trying for 2 months. so sad that the system is so broken
I definitely won't give up. They owe me this money and I need it.
That's EXACTLY what they want you to do!!! The system is DESIGNED to be confusing and difficult so people just give up. Don't let them win!

One important thing to remember: when you do finally reach an agent, make sure to get their ID number or name. This is helpful if you need to follow up later and can reference the previous conversation. Also, if they tell you they're sending a determination letter, note the exact timeframe they give you. If you don't receive it within that window plus 3-5 business days, you should call back. Also, for anyone waiting on payments - once your claim is approved, payments are typically processed on the Tuesday or Wednesday following your weekly certification. Direct deposits usually appear 2-3 business days after processing, while debit cards may take 5-7 business days to receive funds.
That's good advice! I didn't think to ask for the agent's name or ID number. Will definitely do that if I need to call again. She did say I should see the payment hit my account within 2-3 days after my claim is fully processed.
My sister had the same situation last year where she couldn't get anyone on the phone for weeks. Eventually what worked for her was calling right at 7:58am (a couple minutes before they officially open). Apparently their phone system sometimes connects calls slightly early, so she got in before the massive 8:00am rush. Might be worth trying if anyone is still struggling!
thx for the tip! gonna try this tomorrow morning

For future reference, if you need to check on payment status when the website is down, you can also call the automated payment line at 888-581-5812. It's often more reliable than the website and will tell you if a payment has been released to your account or debit card.
That's super helpful! I didn't know about the automated line. I'm saving that number for next time. Thanks!
That number NEVER works for me!! I just get the 'all representatives are busy' message and it hangs up!

did u check ur payment history on the website? sometimes the money gets released but they dont send u a text or email
Just checked again - still says pending :( Will keep refreshing though!
UPDATE: My payments just hit my account! Took exactly 2 days and 4 hours from when the block was removed. All 4 weeks came at once. So relieved right now!
Excellent news! Glad to hear it was processed quickly. This is consistent with the current timeframes we're seeing for accounts that have previously received payments.
awesome!! told u it would be quick! 🙌

•They haven't stopped that service. You can request a duplicate 1099-G through your online account or by calling the dedicated tax form helpline at 888-209-8124. Follow the prompts for tax form assistance.

Thanks everyone for the helpful information! I'll check my online account after January 15th and make sure my address is updated in the system. If I don't see it by early February, I'll call or use that Claimyr service someone mentioned if I can't get through.

•Good plan. And if you have any issues understanding the form when you get it, feel free to come back here with questions. The 1099-G can be confusing the first time you deal with it, especially figuring out which box numbers correspond to what you need to enter on your tax forms.
