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!

idk if this helps, but I had success reaching out to EDD through their Twitter account. They actually responded and helped me resolve my issue.

Wait, EDD has a Twitter? What timeline are we living in? 😂

It sounds like Claimyr might be a useful tool if you're really struggling to get through to EDD. However, it's a shame we need third-party services to navigate a government system. Remember to weigh the cost and ensure it's the right option for you. Besides, continue using the free methods listed by others like documenting everything, calling at the right times, contacting representatives, and more.

Totally agree! It's useful, but the need for it highlights the system's shortcomings.

Balancing between free methods and paid services might be the best approach.

I'm telling you, the whole system is rigged against us. They make it impossible to get help on purpose. It's all a big scam to avoid paying out benefits. Wake up, sheeple! 🐑🐑🐑

Oh yeah? Then explain why they can't even update a simple website? It's 2023, for crying out loud! They're doing this on purpose, I'm telling you.

I get your frustration! But usually, it's under-resourced departments struggling to keep up. Let's hope they improve soon.

Guys, I think I figured it out. We need to perform a ritual sacrifice to the EDD gods. Anyone have a spare goat? 🐐😂

0 coins

Careful, they might take you seriously and add "goat sacrifice" to the required documentation 📄🐐

Haha, humor is definitely needed to get through this. But seriously, the frustration is real for so many people.

0 coins

Have you tried emailing them? Sometimes that works better than calling. Just be prepared to wait a while for a response.

0 coins

Yeah, it's on their website under "Contact Us". But don't get your hopes up, it took them 3 weeks to get back to me 🙄

Be sure to check your spam folder just in case they did reply and it ended up there.

Instructions unclear. Sacrificed my keyboard. Still no benefits. Send help.

A bit of humor never hurts in these situations! Hope you hear back soon.

Just wanted to say hang in there everyone. This sucks, but we're all in this together. Don't let the system get you down. We'll get through this! 💪

Thanks for the encouragement! It's nice to know we're not alone in this.

Am I the only one who's considering learning morse code to try and communicate with them? 😅 ... --- ...

I heard if you say "representative" three times into a mirror at midnight, an EDD agent appears 👻

This gave me a much-needed laugh! But seriously, we shouldn't have to resort to extreme measures.
