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!

CALL THE ADVOCATE OFFICE!! Regular customer service won't help. The advocate office number is (855) 528-5618. They specialize in difficult cases and tax issues. Took me 3 days but I finally got my corrected 1099.
I tried this number and it just refers you back to the main line 😫
Really? It worked for me last week. Maybe they changed it because too many people were calling? System is such a mess.

My tax accountant said this is happening with several clients. He recommends filing with the correct amounts (based on your payment history record) and attaching a letter explaining the situation. If you get a notice from the IRS later, you'll have documentation to respond.

wait hold up - does this actually happen that often? I've been on unemployment for 3 months and haven't had any issues... should I be worried?

•Better safe than sorry. Change your password and enable any extra security features they offer. The system is being targeted heavy right now.

make SURE you download and save every single piece of correspondence they send you. my husband's claim suddenly said he needed to submit docs he'd already sent 3 times. thankfully we had confirmations of everything.

i had this exact isssue! you need to request a reconsideration of your monetary determination. should be somewhere in ur online account or call and ask about it specifically
Thanks! Is there a specific form to fill out for the reconsideration?
Amara Eze

for what its worth i had the same issue and had to just keep trying the 888 number for almost 2 weeks before i got through. no magic solution just persistence. its a terrible system.

Hey I had this EXACT SAME THING happen in February!!! I couldn't reach anyone at DOL for days. Finally used this service called Claimyr (claimyr.com) after someone recommended it here - they got me connected to an actual human at unemployment in like 45 mins. The agent confirmed someone had filed using my identity and helped me report the fraud. Best money I've spent considering it saved me weeks of stress and prevented more damage to my credit. Definitely check them out if you can't get through on the regular line.

•It definitely works! All they do is keep dialing for you until they get through, then connect you to the agent. Saved me hours of redial hell.

•Can confirm Claimyr worked for me too after trying to get through for 2 weeks on my own. Took about an hour total but finally got to talk to someone who could help.

LOL welcome to the club nobody wants to join! I've been fighting this since November - someone's been collecting $536 a week in my name since October even though I have a full time job. The worst part is DOL treats YOU like the criminal at first. Make sure your friend has all his employment records ready to prove he's been working. And be ready for this to take MONTHS to resolve completely.

•Honestly the only thing that worked for me was getting my state representative involved. Call your assembly member - they have special liaisons with DOL who can escalate cases.
