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!

Just a heads up, I heard they're super backed up because of staff shortages. Might explain the delays were all experiencing.

That tracks. My friend works in a government office (not PFL) and says they're swamped everywhere.

Quick question for those who've been through this - how long did it take for your payment to come through once it was approved? Trying to plan my budget here...

For me it was about 5 business days after approval. Hang in there!

I heard they're super backed up because of all the fraud cases they're dealing with. Might be why it's taking so long for everyone. Hang in there!

Have you checked if there's any missing information on your application? Sometimes they don't tell you if something's incomplete and just leave it pending.

Good point, I'll double check. Tho you'd think they'd let us know if something was missing 🙄

Friendly reminder to everyone: document EVERYTHING. Every call, every letter, every online status change. You never know when you'll need that info to prove your case.
