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 ā€“ 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!

Hey OP, don't forget to factor in any accrued vacation time payout. That can affect your claim too. Learned that one the hard way...

Pro tip: Set a reminder on your phone for the weekly certification. Miss one week and you're in for a world of hurt trying to backdate claims. Trust me on this one!

Have you tried using their online portal? Sometimes you can resolve issues without actually talking to anyone.

I feel your pain, OP. Been there, done that. It's like trying to win the lottery just to talk to a human being. Have you tried calling right when they open? Sometimes that works for me.

Good advice, but don't forget to be persistent. It might take multiple tries.

Here's what you need to do: 1. Call them ASAP (like, today) 2. Have your claim number ready 3. Tell them your travel dates 4. Ask if there's any paperwork you need to fill out 5. Get the name of the person you talked to 6. Follow up with an email summarizing the call if possible Good luck and have a great trip!

Great advice! I'd add: make sure to ask about any restrictions on accessing your benefits while abroad. Some states have weird rules about that.

And maybe check their website too, sometimes they have FAQs that can help answer questions faster than waiting on hold.

Has anyone else noticed that the unemployment system seems designed to be as confusing and frustrating as possible? It's like they're trying to discourage people from claiming benefits they're entitled to. šŸ¤¬

It often feels like a test of patience for sure, but documenting everything and following up can be really helpful too.

Have you checked your spam folder? Sometimes important emails from unemployment end up there. They might have sent instructions or a special link to certify.
