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!

Pro tip: If you fax your documents instead of mailing them, it can speed up the process. Just make sure to keep the fax confirmation!
People still use fax machines? What year is it, 1995? 🤣
Lol I know it sounds old school, but trust me, it works! Government agencies love their fax machines 🤷♂️

Anybody else notice that ever since covid, getting ahold of ANY government agency is like 10 times harder? smh
For real! It's like they're using the pandemic as an excuse to provide even worse service 🙄
Have you tried reaching out to your local state representative? Sometimes they can help push things through faster.
I hadn't thought of that! Do you just call their office or is there a special process?
Just call their office and explain your situation. They usually have staff dedicated to helping constituents with stuff like this.

Pro tip: start gathering all your pay stubs and employment info now. EDD might ask for it later and having it ready will speed things up!
Does anyone know if theres a way to check the status of your claim online? Tired of waiting for snail mail 🐌
Yeah, you can check on the EDD website. Log into your account and go to the claim status section. It's not always super up to date tho
Thanks! I'll give that a try. Fingers crossed it actually shows something useful 🤞

Guys, I found this awesome service that helps you get through to customer service lines without waiting on hold. It's called Claimyr and it basically calls for you, waits on hold, and then connects you when a real person picks up. It costs $20 but it's totally worth it if you're trying to reach someone urgently. Check it out: https://youtu.be/1X-mEsLtbmQ
$20 seems steep for a phone call. Is it really worth it?
For me it was. I had to deal with unemployment and was spending hours on hold. This got me through in like 30 minutes. Time is money, ya know?

Hey OP, how long has it been since your doctor submitted the extension? Sometimes it can take a few weeks to process.

•Hang in there! 3 weeks is pushing it, but not unheard of. Def follow up if you don't hear anything by the end of this week.

Plot twist: what if the doctor forgot to hit 'send' on the fax machine? 🤔😂
