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!

my husban had similar prob. the ssa website is down ALOT for "maintenance" could just be that??? maybe try logging in at weird hours like super early morning??
The website being down isn't the issue here - they can't log in at all because they're waiting for account verification instructions that were supposed to come in the mail.
UPDATE: I want to thank everyone for their help! I used the Claimyr service that someone recommended and got through to an agent in about 10 minutes. Turns out they had my mailing address slightly wrong (wrong apartment number), so the verification letter was probably returned to sender. The agent was able to verify my identity over the phone and restore my account access immediately. I also downloaded and submitted the Medicare enrollment form as a backup. Such a relief to have this handled before my birthday next month!
So glad it worked out for you! Nothing worse than stressing about important benefits and not being able to reach anyone for help.
Thanks for updating us! This is a common issue - mail getting returned because of small address errors. For anyone else reading this thread in the future: always confirm your full mailing address (including apartment numbers) when updating any information with SSA.

Anyone else feel like the whole system is designed to be as frustrating as possible? 🙄 Good luck OP, you're gonna need it
Preach! 🙌 It's like they're stuck in the 1980s or something

Quick question - has anyone here successfully lowered their Medicare costs? I'm in the same boat as OP and could use some pointers.
Thanks for the tip! Mind sharing what kind of evidence or arguments worked for you?
Sure thing! I brought a detailed breakdown of my medical expenses vs income, letters from my doctors explaining my health needs, and even got my local congressperson involved. It was a lot of work, but it paid off.
unpopular opinion: the whole system needs an overhaul. it's ridiculous that we have to jump through so many hoops just to get basic help. 🤦♂️
Preach! 🙌 It's like they make it complicated on purpose to discourage people from claiming benefits.
100% agree. My grandma literally gave up trying to get her benefits adjusted because it was too confusing and stressful for her.

Here's what I've learned after dealing with this for months: 1. Call right when they open. The queue is usually shorter. 2. If you get the survey, hang up and call back immediately. 3. Try different phone numbers if they have multiple listed. 4. Be super nice to the rep when you finally get one. They deal with angry people all day. 5. Have all your info ready before you call. 6. If all else fails, see if you can schedule online or via email. Hope this helps someone! Stay persistent, you'll get through eventually.
Thank you so much for this detailed advice! I'll definitely try calling right when they open tomorrow. Fingers crossed 🤞
This is gold 💯 Saving this comment for future reference!

•No, SSDI has completely different rules. For SSDI recipients in 2025, there's a Trial Work Period allowing work above $1,110/month for 9 months. After that, earnings above Substantial Gainful Activity level (around $1,550/month in 2025) can cause benefits to stop. Your brother should contact SSA directly about the Ticket to Work program before starting any job.

Thank you all for the helpful responses! This has been really enlightening. We'll make sure to plan for the potential tax implications while enjoying the flexibility of no earnings limit. It's great that he can pursue some consulting work without worrying about direct benefit reductions.
