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!

I work in IT and let me tell you, the EDD's systems are a complete mess. They're using outdated technology and don't have the resources to handle the volume of claims. It's no wonder everything's so backed up.
That explains a lot actually. You'd think they'd invest in better tech given how important their services are 🤦♂️

Oof, I remember those days. My advice? Document EVERYTHING. Every call, every letter, every online update. It might come in handy if there are any issues down the line.
This! 💯 I had to appeal my claim and having all that documentation saved my butt.
Anyone else feel like the EDD is stuck in 1995? Their whole system needs a major overhaul smh
For real tho. It's 2023 and we're still dealing with fax machines and snail mail 🐌
Careful what you wish for. Remember the unemployment fiasco during COVID? Sometimes old and slow is better than new and broken 😅

Anyone else feel like we need a support group just for dealing with these government agencies? 😅 Seriously though, hang in there OP. The system sucks but you'll get through eventually.
Lol for real. 'Navigating Bureaucracy Anonymous' - I'd join 🙋♂️

Pro tip: if you can't get thru on the phone, try contacting your local state representative's office. They often have direct lines to EDD and can help push things along.
how do you find out who your local rep is?
Just google '[your city] state representative' and it should come up. Most have contact forms on their websites.

Anyone else notice that the EDD website is down... again? 🙄 How are we supposed to check our claim status if the site never works?

I'm in the same boat as OP, finally got through yesterday! Here's what worked for me: - Call right at 8:01 AM - If you get the "too many callers" message, hang up and redial immediately - Use the 2511 number and press 1, then 2, then 4 - Have all your info ready (SSN, claim date, last employer, etc.) - Be super nice to the rep, they deal with angry people all day Hope this helps someone else! Don't give up, you'll get through eventually!
