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'm going through something similar right now - been waiting weeks for any kind of update! One thing that helped me was documenting everything in a spreadsheet (dates I called, reference numbers, who I spoke with if anyone). Also, if you haven't already, try calling right when they open at 8 AM - seems like that's when you have the best shot at getting through. The whole system is so broken, but don't give up! We're all in this together and rooting for you to get it resolved soon. 💪
Thanks so much for the encouragement and advice! The spreadsheet idea is brilliant - I should definitely start tracking all my attempts better. I'll try calling right at 8 AM tomorrow and see if that helps. It's really comforting to know I'm not alone in this struggle. Appreciate you taking the time to share your tips! 🙏
I'm dealing with the exact same frustrating situation! Been waiting over a month for any kind of response from them. What's really helped me is calling multiple times throughout the day - I've noticed that around 10:30 AM and 2:00 PM seem to have shorter wait times. Also, if you have any documentation related to your claim (emails, letters, etc.), make sure to have all of that ready when you do get through to someone. The representatives can usually resolve things faster if you have all your info organized. Don't lose hope - I know it's incredibly stressful when your livelihood is on the line, but persistence really does pay off with these agencies. Sending you good vibes that you get through soon! 🤞
Thank you for sharing those specific time windows - that's really helpful intel! I hadn't thought about trying different times of day. I'll definitely give 10:30 AM and 2:00 PM a shot. You're absolutely right about having documentation ready too - I've been so focused on just getting through that I didn't think about organizing everything beforehand. Really appreciate the encouragement and practical advice. It's so reassuring to hear from someone else who's been through this and made progress! 🙏

I went through this exact same issue a few months ago! The security question thing is such a pain. What worked for me was calling the main UI line and explaining that I couldn't access my account due to the security question. They were able to verify my identity using my SSN, address, and employment history instead. It took about 30 minutes on the phone but they reset everything for me right then and there. Definitely try calling early in the morning like others suggested - I called right at 8am and got through pretty quickly. Don't give up, they do have ways to help you get back into your account!
This is super encouraging to hear! I was starting to worry I'd be stuck forever. Did they ask you any specific questions to verify your identity, or was it pretty straightforward once you explained the situation?
I had this exact same problem a few weeks ago! The security question reset is such a nightmare. What ended up working for me was calling their technical support line (not the regular UI line) - they have a separate number for account access issues. The wait was still long but the tech support folks were way more helpful than regular customer service. They walked me through a manual identity verification process and got me back in within one call. If you can't find the tech support number, try asking the regular customer service to transfer you to their "account access department" - that's what they called it. Hope this helps and you get it sorted soon!

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?

lol welcome to the club 🤡 been trying to file a claim for 3 weeks now. this system is a joke
3 weeks?! That's insane. How are you surviving?
barely hanging on tbh. eating lots of ramen and praying for a miracle 😅
I went through this exact same nightmare a few months ago! What finally worked for me was using the online chat feature during off-peak hours (like mid-afternoon on weekdays). Sometimes the chat queue is shorter than the phone lines. Also, if you have any local workforce development offices near you, they might be able to help you get through to someone or at least give you better guidance on next steps. Don't give up - you'll get through eventually!

I went through something similar about 6 months ago! Turns out my issue was with the work search verification - even though I was logging my job searches, there was a formatting issue with how I was entering the employer information. The system was super picky about having complete addresses and contact info. Also, make sure you're not accidentally selecting the wrong reason codes when you file. I was selecting "quit job" instead of "laid off" because the wording was confusing. Once I fixed those two things, my claims went through without any issues. Hope this helps!
