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, quick question - when did you first file your claim? That might affect how you need to approach this.

I filed about 3 weeks ago. Does that change things?

0 coins

Ah, gotcha. Yeah, for newer claims they sometimes have a different process. Might be worth checking their website for any special instructions for recent filers.

Pro tip: if you're having phone issues, try using a friend's phone to call. Sometimes their system flags certain numbers and it's harder to get through.

0 coins

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

oof, i feel for you. this whole thing is a dumpster fire

Pro tip: When you talk to them, ask for a 'fact-finding interview' about your gig work. It shows you're being proactive and can help speed things up.

idk why they make this process so complicated. its like they dont want us to get the benefits we deserve 🙄

Preach! 🙌 The whole system needs an overhaul. It's not the 1980s anymore, why is everything still so clunky?

Has anyone had luck calling the unemployment office directly? I've been trying for days and can't get through.

0 coins

LOL good luck with that. I think their phone lines are powered by hamsters running on wheels 🐹

0 coins

Try calling right when they open. I got through after only 30 minutes on hold that way.

0 coins

Just went thru this myself. Took about 5 weeks to get any kind of response. The system is so backed up rn its crazyy

0 coins

5 weeks? Oof, guess I better settle in for a long wait then. Thanks for sharing your experience!
