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!

This thread was really helpful for me too! I'm in a similar situation and wasn't sure about eligibility. Thanks for asking the question OP.
Glad it helped you too! We're all figuring this out together.

Remember that adjudication delays are normal right now. My friend's took 7 weeks but eventually got approved and received all the back pay. Just keep filing your weekly claims and be patient.
That's reassuring to hear. I was starting to worry that the delay meant something was wrong with my claim.
Nope, they're just backed up. As long as you provided all the required information, it should eventually process.
hang in there, it's a rough system but once you get the hang of it and your claim is approved, it does provide some financial relief while you're job hunting
Thank you everyone for all the advice and support. I feel much more confident about dealing with this now.
You've got this! Feel free to come back if you run into any other issues.

Final reminder for the OP and anyone else newly approved - remember to report any work or income when you file your weekly claims, even small amounts. Failure to report income can result in overpayment issues later.
Definitely will do. Thanks for all the guidance throughout this process!

Thanks for starting this thread! I learned a lot from reading everyone's responses. I'm in a similar situation and now feel more confident about applying.
You're welcome! I'm glad it helped others too. Good luck with your application!
Final tip - if you do apply and get approved, set up direct deposit right away. Paper checks take forever to arrive and can get lost in the mail.
Thanks for the practical advice! I'll definitely do that if I get approved.
Yes this is so important. I waited weeks for my first paper check before switching to direct deposit.

so the low unemployment rate thing was totally irrelevant to your claim after all, just like people said at the beginning

•Yep, I was overthinking it. It was just a simple reporting error that had nothing to do with the economy.

•Good reminder that individual claims are evaluated based on specific criteria, not general economic conditions.

•Exactly why I wanted to post the update. Don't just accept a denial if something seems wrong - dig deeper!
