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!

Has anyone tried contacting them through social media? I've heard some people have had luck getting responses on Twitter.
I tried that last month. They just sent me a generic response and told me to call the main number 🤦♂️

lol welcome to the wonderful world of bureaucracy 🤡 where nothing works and everythings made up
Ain't that the truth 😂 Sometimes I think they make it complicated on purpose

Have you checked your claim status online? Sometimes there's info there that can help explain the delay.
I tried, but the website keeps giving me an error. Guess I'll have to call... again 😩

I tried tweeting at them once. They just sent me a link to the FAQ page. 🙄 Useless.

Here's what you need to know about unpaid leave: 1. FMLA (Family and Medical Leave Act) might apply if your company has 50+ employees and you've worked there for at least a year. This protects your job for up to 12 weeks. 2. If FMLA doesn't apply, it's up to your employer's discretion. Some states have additional protections, so check your local laws. 3. Unpaid leave usually means you're still an employee, so you might keep some benefits. But again, check your company's policy. 4. Your job isn't necessarily protected unless it falls under FMLA or similar state laws. 5. Consider negotiating a return-to-work agreement before you leave. This can help protect your position. 6. Look into whether you qualify for any paid leave options first (sick leave, PTO, short-term disability). 7. Budget carefully. No income for a while can be tough, so plan ahead if possible. Hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.

Anyone else feel like the whole system is rigged against workers? Like, why isn't paid leave a basic right? 🤔
