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!

Anyone else notice that their system always seems to 'update' right when you need to certify? It's like clockwork. They need to hire some better IT people or something smh

Idk if this helps, but I was stuck in pending for ages. Turns out there was a typo in my SSN that was holding everything up. Triple check all your info is correct!

Here's what you need to do: 1. Document everything. Write down all the mistakes you made and the correct information. 2. Try to submit corrections online if possible. 3. If online doesn't work, you HAVE to call. Keep trying until you get through. 4. Be polite but firm with the rep. Explain your situation clearly. 5. Ask if there's any way to expedite the payment due to financial hardship. 6. If they can't help, ask to speak with a supervisor. 7. Keep a record of who you talked to and when. 8. Follow up regularly until it's resolved. Unfortunately, there's no guaranteed way to speed up the payment, but fixing the errors ASAP is crucial. Good luck!

This is solid advice. I'd add: if you're really in a bind, reach out to local charities or churches. Some offer emergency assistance.

Have you tried reaching out to your HR department? Sometimes they can help escalate issues with PFL.

Not to be that guy, but have you tried going to an actual office? Sometimes face-to-face is the only way to get things done with these bureaucrats.

Quick question - did you receive any kind of confirmation when you filed? Might be worth double checking that everything went through correctly on their end.
