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!

Anyone else think its crazy that we have to jump through so many hoops just to get what we're entitled to? The system is rigged against us, I swear.

Preach! 🙌 It's like they make it difficult on purpose.

Tin foil hat time: what if they do it to discourage people from claiming benefits? 🤔

This might sound crazy, but have you tried reaching out to EDD on social media? I tweeted at them and surprisingly got a response pretty quick. Worth a shot! 🤷‍♂️

Ugh, I feel ya. The whole system needs an overhaul. We shouldn't have to jump through hoops to get the benefits we're entitled to. Hang in there, OP!

This whole system is a joke. We pay into it our whole working lives and when we need it, it's like pulling teeth to get any help. Someone needs to overhaul this entire process. 😤

Preach! 🙌 It's like they purposely make it difficult so people will just give up.

Totally agree. The system wasn't designed to handle this many claims. They need to upgrade their tech and hire more staff.

Hey OP, hang in there. I know it feels hopeless, but it will get sorted eventually. In the meantime, take care of yourself. This stress can really wear you down. Remember to eat, sleep, and maybe try some meditation or something to keep your mind off it. We're all in this together. ❤️

Thank you so much for the kind words. It's easy to forget self-care when dealing with all this stress. I appreciate the reminder and support!

Anyone know if theres a way to escalate our cases? I'm about to lose my apartment if I don't get this payment soon 😰

Try contacting your local state representative. Sometimes they can help push things through faster.

Thank you! I'll give that a shot. Desperate times call for desperate measures I guess

unpopular opinion: maybe we should just be gratefull that we have a paid leave system at all? some countries dont even have this 🤷‍♀️

Grateful for a system that doesn't work? Nah, we pay into this with our taxes. We deserve better.

0 coins

👆 This. Just because others have it worse doesn't mean we can't expect better.

0 coins

I'm in the same boat, its been 10 weeks for me. This whole system is a joke. How are we supposed to survive while they take their sweet time?

Pro tip: If you can, try calling right when they open. I got through on my third try doing this. Good luck!

0 coins

Thanks for the tip! What time do they open? I'll set my alarm and give it a shot.

They open at 8am PST. Be ready to dial at 7:59! 😅
