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!

Dealing with ny unemployment is literally hell on earth. I'd rather do my taxes blindfolded than try to navigate their phone system again.

I had 6 seperate overpayment notices for a total of $7,655. Took me 3 months of fighting but finally got them waived after I could prove it was their mistake. Document EVERYTHING and dont give up!

This is a known issue their customer service reps are aware of but can't fix without supervisor intervention. The only way to resolve it is to speak directly with a tier 2 support person. Regular agents don't have access to the waiver submission database. Ask for a supervisor specifically when you call.

This ⬆️ Tier 2 support is the key. Regular agents will just tell you to resubmit.

Dude the SAME thing happened to me last week!! Like exactly the same - 8 weeks used out of 14 weeks eligible and then suddenly "benefit year ended." I spent 4 hours on the phone and finally got through. They said it was a system error on their end. The rep reset something and my remaining weeks showed back up the next day.

you might have triggered a review flag in the system. did you start working part time or have any change in your income reporting? that sometimes causes the system to mistakenly end your benefit year early.

I did pick up a small side gig last month but reported the income on my certifications. Maybe that triggered something?

FWIW, I had similar issues with my California unemployment account while traveling. What FINALLY worked was using a residential VPN (not a commercial one) AND clearing all browser data AND using private browsing. Those commercial VPNs are all on government block lists at this point.

What's a residential VPN? I've never heard of that

0 coins

Residential VPNs use real residential IP addresses instead of data center IPs. They look like normal home internet connections to websites. Way more expensive but govmt sites don't detect them as VPNs.

this is why i always download and save ALL my important tax docs as soon as they come out... never know when u might need them and government websites are always down when you need them most 🙃

Lesson learned for sure... I won't make this mistake again!
