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!

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!

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.
Anyone know if the LA office is still requiring masks? I lost mine and don't wanna get turned away after waiting in line forever.
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.

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.
Am I the only one who thinks its ridiculous that we have to jump through all these hoops just to access OUR OWN MONEY that we've been paying into for decades? The whole system needs an overhaul smh
It's not actually "your" money though. Current workers pay for current retirees. That's how the system works.
Yeah, I know how it works. Doesn't make it any less frustrating tho 🙄

Just a heads up, the SSA office in my area has been doing appointments by phone only due to COVID. Might want to check if that's the case for your local office too.

•Good point! Their website should have the most up-to-date info on how they're handling appointments.

I filed for Medicare Part A last year and it was actually pretty painless. The key is being prepared. Write down all your questions beforehand so you don't forget anything important during the call.

•That's a great idea! I tend to get flustered on important calls. I'll definitely make a list. Any specific questions you recommend asking?

•Ask about the effective date, any potential gaps in coverage, and how it'll work with any existing insurance you have. Oh, and don't forget to ask about Part B if you need it!
