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 reaching out to their local representative? I've heard that can sometimes help speed things up.

I did this! It actually helped a lot. My case got resolved within a week after months of nothing.

Which representative did you contact? I'm desperate for any help at this point.

FYI, there's been some changes to the EDD system recently. They're supposedly streamlining the process, but who knows if it'll actually help 🤷‍♀️

Lol if only it were that simple 😂

This happened to me last month. Turns out there was a system-wide glitch affecting a bunch of accounts. Might be worth asking if theres any known issues going on.

Have you checked your spam folder? Sometimes important emails from EDD end up there. Also, make sure your contact info is up to date in their system.

Unpopular opinion: maybe we should all show up at the EDD office and protest. Might get some media attention and force them to address the delays. Who's with me? ✊

Idk man, seems like a waste of time. They don't care about us little people. 😒

That's exactly why we need to make ourselves heard! If we don't speak up, nothing will change.

Pro tip: if you can, hire a lawyer who specializes in employment law. Yes, it costs money upfront, but they can often get you way more than youd get on your own. Worth it if were talking about multiple years of benefits.

This! 💯 A good lawyer can make all the difference.

OP, whatever you do, don't give up! I fought for almost a year to get my past benefits, but it was worth it in the end. Stay strong! 💪

OP, make sure you've submitted all required documentation. Sometimes they don't tell you if something's missing and just let the claim sit there 🙄

Good point, I'll double-check. But how do I know if everything's there if I can't get hold of anyone? It's like a catch-22 😫

guys. we need to organize and demand better. this is ridiculous. who's with me to start a petition or something?

0 coins

I'm in! This system is broken and needs to be fixed ASAP.

Count me in too. We shouldn't have to jump through hoops to get what we're entitled to.
