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!

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
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.

Just went through this last month. They were mostly concerned about why I wasn't at my previous employer anymore. Since you're working for Uber Eats, be ready to explain your weekly hours and earnings. They'll likely reduce your benefits based on what you earn (there's a formula they use). Better to get reduced benefits than commit fraud by not reporting income though!
Fun fact: when they calculate your benefits with gig work, they look at NET income, not gross. So if you make $500 with Uber Eats but spend $150 on gas, your reportable income is $350. Keep ALL receipts related to your gig work - gas, maintenance, portion of phone bill used for the app, etc.
wait for real? i've been reporting gross income this whole time 🤦♂️
Yep! For self-employment (which is what gig work is), you report net earnings. Talk to the DOL rep about this specifically during your interview.

anyone else notice that when u finally do get through to someone, they always act like its your fault somehow? like sorry for being unemployed and needing the benefits i paid into for years??
YESSSS! The last agent I talked to made me feel like I was committing a crime by following up on my own claim. Like I'm supposed to just silently suffer while they take their sweet time 🙄
omg yes!! one lady told me "you know there are a lot of people who need these benefits" like I'm not one of them??

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.
