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!

yall ever wonder if theres just one guy working at the SSA, trying to process all our applications? 🤣 I picture him drowning in a sea of paperwork, crying out for help
LOL I can see it now. Poor Gary from accounting, promoted to handle ALL the applications. He's doing his best, guys! 😂
this is why we need to properly fund our government agencies smh

Man, the government doesn't make this easy, do they? It's like they want us to mess up so they can collect more fees. 🙄 Good luck OP, hope you get it sorted!
Preach! 🙌 The whole system needs an overhaul. It shouldn't be this complicated.

have you tried reaching out to your local congressperson's office? They often have staff dedicated to helping constituents with federal issues like this. Might be worth a shot if SSA gives you the runaround
I hadn't even thought of that! Great idea, I'll look into it if I can't get anywhere with SSA directly.

LPT: If you're having trouble getting through on the phone, try calling right at 7:59 am their time. Sometimes you can get in the queue before the rush.
I'm so frustrated with the SSA right now. I've been trying to correct a mistake on my earnings record for months and keep getting the runaround. Anyone dealt with this before?
Thanks for the encouragement. How long did it take you to get it resolved?
It took about 3 months all told. Make sure you keep copies of EVERYTHING and follow up regularly. Squeaky wheel gets the grease and all that.

Just a heads up, if you're still working, your spousal benefits might be reduced. Make sure to check the earnings limit before you apply!
This! 👆 I learned this the hard way. Definitely do your research on how working affects your benefits.

Pro tip: If you're having trouble understanding the process, try visiting your local SSA office in person. The staff there can be really helpful in explaining things face-to-face.
This! 👆 I was so confused until I went in person. The lady I talked to was super patient and walked me through everything.
Anyone else feel like they need a law degree to understand all these rules and regulations? 🤯 Why do they gotta make it so complicated?
It's not that bad if you take it step by step. The SSA website actually has some pretty good explainers.
Maybe for you, brainiac. Some of us are still scratching our heads 😅

Pro tip: if you're close to full retirement age, sometimes it's better to claim your own benefits first and then switch to spousal benefits later. Ask about this strategy!

Has anyone else had issues with the SSA website? I swear it's down half the time I try to use it. 🙄
omg yes! Its like they're using tech from the stone age or smthn. So frustrating!
Pro tip: try accessing the site early in the morning or late at night. Less traffic usually means fewer issues.

I'm in the same boat, trying to get death benefits sorted for my grandma. This whole process is so frustrating. Sending good vibes your way, OP!
Thanks, appreciate the support. It's tough enough dealing with loss without all this bureaucracy on top of it.

Pro tip: If you're having trouble getting through on the phone, try faxing your request. Yes, fax. It's like time travel, but sometimes it actually works faster.

•You'd be surprised! Or use an online fax service. Trust me, it's weirdly effective.

Have you considered that maybe you were actually eligible for Medicare earlier than you thought? Sometimes they backdate coverage if you were eligible but didn't sign up right away.
