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 โ€“ 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!

Totally agree. And don't even get me started on how outdated their computer systems are. It's like they're running on Windows 95 or something.

Quick tip: If you're having trouble getting through on the phone, try reaching out on social media. Sometimes their Twitter support is more responsive than the actual phone lines. Worth a shot!

This is why I'm never trusting the government again. They give us money during the pandemic and then take it back. It's a ๐Ÿคก show.

Hey guys, I found a method to actually get someone on the phone at the unemployment office. 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. Check out this video for more info: https://youtu.be/7DieNd3C7zQ

$20 just to talk to someone? That's ridiculous. The system is so broken ๐Ÿ˜ก

I know it sounds sketchy, but I swear it worked for me. After weeks of trying to get through, it was worth the $20 to finally talk to a real person and get my issue resolved.

Have you checked if there's an overpayment issue? Sometimes that can cause benefits to be intercepted. Might be worth looking into.

Log into your unemployment account online. There should be a section for overpayments or outstanding issues. If you see anything there, that could be your problem.

I work in IT (not for the unemployment office tho). Sometimes these issues can be caused by browser extensions or security settings. Try disabling all extensions and temprorarily lowering your security settings (remember to put them back after). Also, make sure your browsers up to date. Might help, might not, but worth a shot!

Hey OP, what exactly got you confused in the application? Maybe we can help you figure it out here so you're prepared when you do get through to an agent.

Okay, here's what you need to do: 1. Document everything. Write down every time you try to call, every error message you get, everything. 2. Keep trying the phone, but also use their online contact form if they have one. Sometimes you can get a response that way. 3. Reach out to your state representative AND your state senator. Send them a detailed email explaining your situation. 4. If you're really desperate, consider using a paid service like the one mentioned above. It sucks to have to pay, but sometimes it's worth it to get things moving. 5. Check if there are any in-person unemployment offices open. Some states are reopening them. 6. Join Facebook groups or other online communities for unemployment in your state. Sometimes people share insider tips or direct contact info for helpful employees. 7. If all else fails, consider reaching out to local media. Sometimes a call from a reporter can magically fix things. Hang in there, OP. The system is a mess, but persistence usually pays off eventually.

Thanks for asking! Basically, I filed my claim 3 weeks ago and haven't heard anything back. I'm not sure if it's been approved or if they need more info from me. Just trying to get some clarity on the status and what my next steps should be.

Gotcha. Yeah, 3 weeks is a long time to be in limbo. Definitely keep trying to reach them. In the meantime, make sure you're still certifying for benefits each week, even if you haven't been approved yet. That way you won't miss out on any weeks if you do get approved.
