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!

If Twitter doesn't work for you, I had success with emailing my state representative. They have staff who deal with constituent services and can sometimes cut through the red tape. Took about 2 weeks but they got someone from unemployment to call me.

This is actually great advice. Government offices prioritize requests from elected officials. My assemblyman's office helped me too!

im sorry but twitter shouldnt be the only way to get help from a government service we all pay for with our taxes. this is ridiculous and shows how broken the entire system is.

Took me like 25 minutes just to log in this morning. Their servers must be run on a commodore 64 or somethin

Soooo what happens if the 1099 shows the wrong amount and you can't get anyone on the phone to fix it? Do I just file with the wrong info or what? I don't wanna get flagged for tax fraud but it's literally impossible to reach anyone 😩

Try claimyr.com - I was in the same situation and it got me through to an agent who fixed mine. Otherwise you might be waiting weeks to get it corrected.

0 coins

You should NOT file with incorrect info. That's just asking for trouble with the IRS later.

If you can't get the online version working at all, you might want to try Claimyr, claimyr.com I was skeptical but it actually connected me with an agent who fixed my issue. Saved me hours of hold music hell.

It's not some miracle thing, it just calls them repeatedly and waits on hold so you don't have to. When they get a human, you get a call. Then you just explain your issue to the agent. Saved me from hours of frustration.

This actually sounds useful. The hold times are killing me.

Have u tried using a mobile device instead of computer? For some weird reason, the mobile site worked for me when the desktop version kept crashing.

yeah right, another 'miracle solution'... what's the catch? 🙄

I thought the same thing but I was desperate after trying for days. Used claimyr.com and actually got through to someone who fixed my issue. Sometimes you gotta try something new when the old way isn't working.

huh, ok maybe I'll check it out. I've been trying to get thru for like 2 weeks about this same 1099 bs

I called the IRS about this (since its a tax form issue) and they said we should request a corrected form from the state agency and NOT file until we get it. If the deadline approaches and you still don't have it, they recommended filing for an extension.

0 coins

File an extension with the IRS so you don't get penalized for late filing while you're waiting for the form. Thatll give you till October to sort this out.

0 coins

I really need my refund sooner though... I was counting on that money for bills that are already overdue.
