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!

Has anyone else's claim been stuck on "pending" for weeks? I'm losing my mind here.
Mine was stuck for a month, then suddenly cleared. Hang in there!
Review processes take time, especially if there's increased scrutiny due to fraud or errors.
Pro tip: if you have a friend or family member who speaks another language, try the non-English lines. Sometimes theyre less busy.
This actually worked for me! Used the Mandarin line and got through in 20 minutes.
This is a clever workaround, but not everyone has access to someone who speaks another language.

This might sound weird, but try calling right when they open or like 5 minutes before they close. I've had luck getting through that way before.
Great idea! I'll give that a try tomorrow morning.

The whole system is broken. I've been trying to file a claim for THREE WEEKS now. It's ridiculous that we can't even get basic help when we need it most. 😡
I feel you. It’s hard to believe this is the best system we have for such a critical need.
Here's what worked for me after weeks of trying: 1. Call right when they open (8:00 AM in my state) 2. If you get a busy signal, hang up and redial immediately 3. Keep doing this until you get into the queue 4. Once in the queue, DO NOT HANG UP no matter how long the wait 5. Have all your info ready when you finally get through It took me about 50 redials, but I finally got through and resolved my issue. Good luck!
This is actually solid advice. I did something similar and it worked after a few days of trying. Persistence is key!
50 redials seems daunting but it's a reality for many. Patience pays off!

Welcome to the club, buddy. We're all in the same boat here. I've been trying to get through for weeks now. It's like they're purposely making it impossible to reach anyone. 🤔
Have you tried calling right when they open? I heard that's the best time to get through. Also, keep hitting 0 or # repeatedly - sometimes that'll bump you to a real person.
Tried that. Doesn't work anymore. They've caught on to our tricks lol
I've had better luck calling later in the day actually. Less people trying to get through then.

I found a way to actually get someone on the phone. I used this site's (claimyr.com) calling tool that dials the phone menu, stays on hold, waits for a live agent to pick up, then sends the call to my phone. It does cost $20, but it works. Here's a video about it: https://youtu.be/V-IMvH88P1U
$20 just to talk to someone? The system is so broken 😤
Claimyr has definitely helped many people, but it's unfortunate such services are necessary in the first place.

I swear, dealing with EDD is harder than my last job. Maybe we should all apply to work there and fix it from the inside 🕵️♂️
Imagine the interviews: 'Do you have patience of a saint?'
We'd definitely make some major changes!

Hello:) More then likely it means your file is under review. I would give them a call for clarification.
Thank you for the quick response very much appreciated
To all those having trouble reaching a human at the TWC. I just ran across this video that gave me a shortcut to reach a human. Hope it helps! https://youtu.be/gVl05qYtii0

Using Claimyr can certainly be a game changer in navigating the TWC's cumbersome phone system. The tool dials through the frustrating phone menus and holds, eventually connecting you directly with a live representative. While this service comes at a cost of $20, many users have found it saves them time and hassle, making it worthwhile. However, it's essential to note that even though Claimyr offers a solution for handling phone queues, it doesn't address systemic issues within TWC itself. Users should still persist with traditional methods such as contacting local representatives, checking for identity verification issues, and staying informed about account updates. Exploring multiple avenues can increase the chances of resolving unemployment benefit issues more efficiently. Ultimately, while Claimyr's service provides a helpful alternative, advocating for comprehensive improvements to TWC's systems should remain a priority for long-term relief.

•Great overview! It's true that while Claimyr can be a quick fix, lasting changes to TWC's infrastructure are necessary.

•I know it sounds sketchy, but I swear it worked for me. Saved me hours of frustration. Worth every penny imho.

•I tried Claimyr too, and I was pleasantly surprised. It's unfortunate that we have to resort to third-party services, but when you're desperate, anything that works is worth a shot.
