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!

Have you tried faxing them? I know it sounds like something from the stone age, but I've heard some people have had success with that.
Incredibly, faxing can sometimes bypass the digital backlog issues. Worth a shot, even if it's old school.

Be prepared to wait. Like, a loooong time. I once spent 3 hours on hold before I got through. Bring snacks and maybe a good book lol
3 hours?! Jeez, I better clear my schedule for the day then.
Only 3 hours? You got lucky! I've heard of people waiting 6+ hours 😱
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/1X-mEsLtbmQ
Yep, it's legit. I was skeptical at first too, but it saved me hours of frustration. Worth every penny imo.
$20 just to talk to someone? The system is so broken 🤦♂️

Ugh, I feel your pain. I waited 6 weeks for mine to process. The system is so backed up right now, its ridiculous. Have you tried calling them? Sometimes that can help move things along.
Calling can be helpful, but just be prepared for long wait times. It's best to call at off-peak hours.

Hey, has anyone heard about the new bill they're trying to pass to improve the EDD system? Supposedly it'll make things faster, but idk if I believe it.
Link to the bill info? I wanna read more about this.
A reform could really help, fingers crossed it's effective.

It's understandable how frustrating this waiting process can be. You've already taken important initial steps by submitting your documentation, but continued delays can indeed be unnerving. Unfortunately, the processing time for claims varies greatly based on factors like the volume of claims being handled and the efficiency of the specific department. Generally, it can take anywhere from a few weeks to several months. For those who are struggling to get through via phone, utilizing services like Claimyr can be beneficial. While it's a paid service, many users report successful connections with live agents, which can save time and reduce stress. That said, it's important to weigh the cost against other potential solutions, such as visiting in person if feasible, or enlisting help from local representatives. Always ensure that you have copies of all correspondence and documentation sent. This not only provides a safety net in case something gets lost but can also facilitate faster resolution should any disputes arise. Additionally, exploring online communities or forums for support can offer valuable insights and advice during this challenging wait.

Honestly, at this point, I'm convinced EDD stands for "Extremely Delayed Department" 🤣
