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!

Guys, I found a method to actually 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 explaining it: https://youtu.be/DOLxZQb92wM

I was skeptical too, but it really did work for me. Saved me hours of frustration.

$20 to actually talk to a human? might be worth it at this point tbh

OP, whatever you do, DON'T give up. I know its frustrating but you'll get there. We're all in the same boat with this EDD nonsense. Keep us updated!

Thanks for the encouragement! I'll definitely post an update once I get this sorted out.

Have you tried faxing your documents? I know it sounds old school, but sometimes that gets faster results than mailing or uploading online.

Faxing? What year is it, 1995? 😂

Lol I know, right? But seriously, it worked for me when nothing else did. Don't knock it till you've tried it! 😉

Just wanted to say good luck, OP. We're all in the same boat here. The system sucks, but we'll get through it together. 💪

Just a heads up, EDD is really backed up right now due to all the covid stuff still. My claim took 2 months to process 😭 Hopefully yours goes faster!

Has anyone had luck getting their employer to supplement their PFL benefits? I heard some companies do that but mine is being stingy 🙄

0 coins

My company does! They cover the difference to make it 100% of my normal pay. Maybe check your employee handbook or talk to HR?

Lol must be nice. My company acts like PFL is a luxury vacation or smthn 🙄

pro tip: if you can, try calling right when they open. I always have better luck getting through early in the morning

Has anyone tried faxing their documents instead of uploading online? I've heard it can sometimes be faster. Might be worth a shot if you're really stuck.

OP, make sure you're checking your spam folder too! I almost missed an important EDD email cuz it went straight to spam. They really need to get their act together 🙄
