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!

Ugh, I remember my first time applying. It was a nightmare! The website kept crashing, the phone lines were always busy. I swear, it's like they make it hard on purpose to discourage people. 🙄
Preach! 🙌 I'm convinced the whole system is held together with duct tape and prayers.
It's not just you. The system is totally overwhelmed. Hang in there, OP!
Here's my comprehensive guide based on my experience: 1. Prepare all your docs beforehand: SSN, employment history, reason for unemployment. 2. Be patient and persistent. You might not get through on your first try. 3. When you do get through, be clear and concise about your situation. 4. Ask about the timeline for processing and first payment. 5. Inquire about work search requirements - these vary by state. 6. Set up direct deposit if possible for faster payments. 7. Keep filing weekly claims even if you haven't received your first payment. 8. Document everything: who you spoke to, when, what was said. 9. Check your state's unemployment website for FAQs and updates. 10. Consider applying for other assistance programs if needed. Remember, it's your right to claim these benefits. Don't let the process discourage you. Good luck!
Wow, this is incredibly helpful! Thank you so much for taking the time to write all this out. I feel much more prepared now.
This should be pinned or something. Super useful info!

I've been dealing with this for MONTHS. At this point, I'm considering hiring a lawyer. This can't be legal, right?
Careful with lawyers, they might take a big chunk of your backpay. Maybe try contacting your local representative first?

Not to be that guy, but have you tried turning it off and on again? 😂 Jk jk, but seriously, sometimes clearing your browser cache can help with login issues.

Has anyone tried contacting them through social media? Sometimes companies are more responsive there because it's public.

•Good idea! I'll try tweeting at them. Maybe public shaming will work lol
