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!

Need help updating Medicare card and setting up direct deposit with SSA before turning 70

Hey everyone, I need some advice. I'm turning 70 soon and I need to update my Medicare card with my correct legal name. Also, I want to set up direct deposit for my payments. Has anyone gone through this process recently? What's the best way to get this done? I'm thinking about making an appointment at my local Social Security office, but I'm not sure if that's necessary or if there's an easier way. Any tips or experiences would be really helpful!

Sophia Carson

Just a heads up, when I set up direct deposit, it took about 2-3 months for it to actually kick in. Don't panic if you don't see the change right away!

SSA identity verification issues after ID.me discontinuation - need help ASAP!

Hey everyone, I'm having trouble verifying my identity for SSA benefits. They're not using ID.me anymore due to some court case, and now I'm stuck. Has anyone else dealt with this? What are my options for verifying my identity now? I really need to get this sorted out ASAP.

Giovanni Rossi

Hey OP, have you considered reaching out to your local congressperson's office? They sometimes have liaisons who can help navigate SSA issues.

Guys, I just saw on Twitter that SSA is supposedly rolling out a new online verification system next month. Might be worth waiting for that if you can.

SSA Los Angeles Office: Tips and Advice Needed for First-Time Visit

Hey everyone, I need some help with the Social Security Administration in Los Angeles. I'm not really sure where to start or what exactly I need to do. Has anyone dealt with them recently? What should I expect? Any tips or advice would be really appreciated!

Mateo Silva

I found a method to 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/g7EAnpuazcI

I get the skepticism, but it's legit. They're not affiliated with SSA, just a service that does the waiting for you. Totally optional, but it saved me a ton of time and stress

I've heard mixed reviews about Claimyr. While it can be a lifesaver for those with urgent matters or those who can't physically wait on the phone, users should be cautious and evaluate if it's necessary for their situation.

Good question, I hadn't even thought about that. I'll make sure to bring one just in case.

Most government offices still require masks due to the high volume of visitors, especially during flu season.

Trouble ending SSA benefits - Tips for contacting SSA or scheduling appointment?

Hey everyone, I need some advice. I'm trying to end my benefits with the SSA and I'm having a hard time getting through to them. Has anyone had any luck scheduling an appointment or getting someone on the phone? It's been a real headache and I'm not sure what to do next. Any tips or experiences would be really helpful!

Max Knight

Hey OP, just a heads up - make sure you're 100% sure about ending your benefits. I did that last year and regretted it. The process to reinstate them was even worse than what you're going through now.

This! Always triple check before making any changes with the SSA. They don't make it easy to fix mistakes.

Good point. It’s important to weigh the pros and cons and explore all options before discontinuing benefits.

SSA: File now or wait till 70? Need advice on maximizing benefits

Hey everyone, I'm trying to figure out when to file for Social Security. I'm wondering if I should file now or wait until I'm 70. My main concern is that I won't get much money if I file now, but I'll get more if I wait a couple years. Has anyone been through this decision-making process? What factors should I consider? I'm really torn and could use some advice from those who've been there.

Miguel Silva

Whatever you decide, make sure you understand how working affects your benefits if you're under full retirement age. They can reduce your benefit if you earn too much.

It's not actually "your" money though. Current workers pay for current retirees. That's how the system works.
