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!

I swear, dealing with these claims is like playing a game where they keep changing the rules and don't tell you 🤡
This is so frustrating but unfortunately pretty common. I'd suggest trying a few things: 1) Ask for the direct fax number again to make sure you have the right one, 2) Try faxing during business hours when someone might notice if the machine is having issues, 3) See if you can upload documents through their online portal instead - it's usually more reliable than fax. Also, when you call back, ask to speak with a supervisor if the first person can't help. Sometimes they have more authority to locate "missing" documents or expedite the process. Don't give up!

Pro tip: if you can't get through on the main line, try calling right when they open or just before they close. Sometimes you can catch them when it's less busy. Also, Wednesdays seem to be a good day for some reason. 🤷♂️
Document EVERYTHING! I went through something similar and what saved me was keeping a detailed log of all my calls, emails, and documentation. Create a folder with: - Screenshots of your original application - All employment records (W2s, pay stubs, offer letters) - Any correspondence with EDD - Notes from every phone call (date, time, agent name, what was discussed) When you finally get someone on the phone, having all this organized makes you sound more credible and helps them understand the issue faster. I also recommend asking for a supervisor if the first person can't help - sometimes the frontline staff don't have access to make certain corrections. Don't let them brush you off! You have the right to have your claim reviewed properly. 💪

guys i think i figured it out. u need to do the hokey pokey while chanting ur ssn backwards under a full moon. works every time 60% of the time 🌕🕺
Instructions unclear. Did the macarena instead and now my application status says 'Sacrificed to the Unemployment Gods'. Help?
rookie mistake. everyone knows the macarena is for tax returns only. try the electric slide next time
Same thing happened to me! My application has been stuck for over a month with zero updates online. What finally worked was sending a secure message through the unemployment website (if your state has that feature) AND emailing my local workforce center directly. I found their contact info by googling "[my city] workforce center email". Got a response within 48 hours and they were able to see my application was just sitting in a queue waiting for manual review. Sometimes you need to reach out through multiple channels to get someone's attention. Don't give up!

I'm dealing with something similar right now! My payments just stopped out of nowhere about two weeks ago. No notice, no explanation - they just disappeared from my account. I've been checking the website obsessively but there's literally nothing there explaining what happened. It's so stressful not knowing if it's a technical glitch or if there's actually an issue with my eligibility. Has anyone else had their payments just randomly stop like this?
Oh man, this exact same thing happened to me a few months ago! It's so nerve-wracking when the payments just vanish without any warning. In my case, it turned out to be an identity verification issue that they never bothered to tell me about. I only found out when I finally got through to someone on the phone after like 50 attempts. Definitely try calling if you can, even though it's a nightmare. Also check if there are any pending items in your account that might not be showing up clearly on the main page - sometimes they hide stuff in weird places on the website. Hope you get it sorted out soon!
I'm going through something really similar right now! My claim has been in limbo for about 3 weeks and I can't figure out what's going on. The website just shows "pending" with no additional details. I've tried calling multiple times but keep getting disconnected after waiting on hold for hours. It's incredibly frustrating because I really need these benefits to cover my basic expenses. Has anyone found any patterns with when these issues tend to get resolved, or is it just completely random? Also wondering if there are certain times of day that are better for calling - I've been trying in the mornings but maybe afternoons work better?
Hey, I'm totally new here but dealing with the exact same thing! My payments stopped about a week ago and the "pending" status is driving me crazy. I've been reading through all these comments and it sounds like so many people are going through this right now. From what I'm seeing, it seems like calling is really the only way to get answers, even though it's a total nightmare. @Giovanni Moretti mentioned identity verification issues - is that something that happens randomly even if you ve'been getting payments before? Also @Diego Castillo, that calling service you mentioned sounds interesting but I m'a bit hesitant about paying for it. Has anyone else tried it successfully?

Hey OP, just a heads up - make sure you keep calling even if you think they received your docs. I assumed they got mine and waited... big mistake. Turns out they needed additional info and never bothered to tell me. Cost me weeks of benefits 😑

I'm going through the exact same thing right now! Filed my claim 5 days ago and have been stressing about whether they got my paperwork. Reading through all these responses is both helpful and terrifying 😅 Sounds like the key is to be persistent and not assume anything. Going to try calling first thing tomorrow morning and also check my online account like Adrian suggested. Thanks everyone for sharing your experiences - at least I know I'm not alone in this bureaucratic nightmare!
