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!

Not to be that person, but why'd you select the wrong option in the first place? Those forms literally ask you twice to confirm 🙄

Anyone else notice how the tourism recovery benefit system seems completely separate from the regular unemployment system? Like why can't they just use the same payment info they already have for us? 🤦‍♀️

because that would make sense and we can't have that 💯

LMAO RIGHT?? I think each program is funded differently so they need separate systems. Still stupid tho

Somewhat related question - has anyone successfully won a case against their employer who lied about termination reason? What kind of evidence was most helpful?

I won mine! The smoking gun was an email from HR that said "position eliminated due to budget cuts" which directly contradicted their claim that I was fired for performance.

I recorded my layoff meeting (NY is one-party consent) and played it at the hearing. The judge was NOT happy with my former employer.

Random but important tip: If you do manage to get through to someone, ask them to put a note on your account about the withholding issue. This creates a paper trail they can't ignore later if they try to come after you for more $$$

You might be able to get your income verified another way for your mortgage. Ask your lender if they'll accept an account statement showing deposits or your determination letter. I used to work in mortgage processing and we sometimes accepted alternative documentation when tax forms weren't available yet.

Thanks for the insider tip! I'll definitely ask about this tomorrow.
