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!

someone probably already said this but have you tried resetting your 2FA completely? go to account settings and look for security options, there should be a way to remove all verification methods and start over
pro tip: the id.me help chat is actually better than calling. go to id.me website (not through unemployment) and look for the chat option. still took me 30 mins in queue but they fixed my security key issue without video verification
Thanks for the tip! I'll try this tomorrow morning. Did you need to have any specific information handy when you chatted with them?
just your id.me login email and they'll ask for some verification info during the chat. have your ID ready just in case

Bad news: your tax preparer was wrong. That unemployment tax exclusion was only for 2020 unemployment benefits, not 2021. The American Rescue Plan that Biden signed in March 2021 only applied to the prior year's unemployment. All unemployment from 2021 is fully taxable. Your tax person should have known this!
Stop waiting and call them! After two months of waiting for answers about my refund, I finally used claimyr.com to get through to a real IRS agent - found out my return was missing a form and that's why it was delayed. Talking to a real person is the only way to get actual answers about your specific situation.

FYI - there is a seperate recertification phone number that sometimes works better than the main line: 1-888-209-8124. Follow the prompts for weekly certification issues specifically. It bypasses some of the regular call queues.
Tried that number and it still tells me I need to speak to a rep 😫 Then transfers me to the same endless hold loop

•ugh im sorry! such a broken system. might be time to try one of those services that calls for you then. i heard claimyr.com works well.

check if you got an email about identity verification. my wife had the same issue and turns out they randomly selected her account for additional verification but the email went to her spam folder.

Has anyone else noticed the system running slower lately? Been taking longer for payments to process the last few weeks. Mine used to hit wednesday mornings now not til afternoon.
YES! Ever since they did that "system maintenance" last month everything's been running behind.

•i thought it was just me! been waiting longer for everything and the website keeps timing out

It might come Thursday. Monday night certifications often hit my account Thursday morning instead of Wednesday. Their system is finicky like that. Set ur expectations for Thursday just to be safe.

Had the EXACT same problem back in February. Turns out my ID.me verification actually failed but the system never told me. When I finally got through to a person, they were able to see exactly what was wrong and help me fix it. Don't waste weeks waiting - find a way to talk to a human!

OMG I'm so tired of hearing about ID.me problems!!! Its literally on every unemployment forum. They need to fix this garbage system or go back to the old way. Too many people are suffering because of their crappy technology 😡
