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'm dealing with the exact same frustrating situation! Been waiting over a month for any kind of response from them. What's really helped me is calling multiple times throughout the day - I've noticed that around 10:30 AM and 2:00 PM seem to have shorter wait times. Also, if you have any documentation related to your claim (emails, letters, etc.), make sure to have all of that ready when you do get through to someone. The representatives can usually resolve things faster if you have all your info organized. Don't lose hope - I know it's incredibly stressful when your livelihood is on the line, but persistence really does pay off with these agencies. Sending you good vibes that you get through soon! 🤞
Thank you for sharing those specific time windows - that's really helpful intel! I hadn't thought about trying different times of day. I'll definitely give 10:30 AM and 2:00 PM a shot. You're absolutely right about having documentation ready too - I've been so focused on just getting through that I didn't think about organizing everything beforehand. Really appreciate the encouragement and practical advice. It's so reassuring to hear from someone else who's been through this and made progress! 🙏
I'm so sorry you're dealing with this - the whole system seems designed to wear us down! I've been in a similar situation and here's what finally worked for me: I started calling every single day at different times and keeping detailed notes. What really made the difference was when I got through to someone, I asked them to put a "priority flag" or "urgent" note on my account and got their direct extension number. Also, try filing a complaint with your state's labor department ombudsman - that sometimes gets things moving faster. In the meantime, screenshot everything in your online account daily in case anything changes. The waiting is absolutely brutal, but don't give up! You've got this! 💪

Hey, just wondering - have you had any luck with your claim yet? Any updates?
Still working on it. Gonna try calling again tomorrow. Fingers crossed 🤞
Good luck! Let us know how it goes.
I went through something similar about 6 months ago! Turns out my issue was with the work search verification - even though I was logging my job searches, there was a formatting issue with how I was entering the employer information. The system was super picky about having complete addresses and contact info. Also, make sure you're not accidentally selecting the wrong reason codes when you file. I was selecting "quit job" instead of "laid off" because the wording was confusing. Once I fixed those two things, my claims went through without any issues. Hope this helps!

I'm dealing with something similar right now! My payments just stopped out of nowhere about two weeks ago. No notice, no explanation - they just disappeared from my account. I've been checking the website obsessively but there's literally nothing there explaining what happened. It's so stressful not knowing if it's a technical glitch or if there's actually an issue with my eligibility. Has anyone else had their payments just randomly stop like this?
Oh man, this exact same thing happened to me a few months ago! It's so nerve-wracking when the payments just vanish without any warning. In my case, it turned out to be an identity verification issue that they never bothered to tell me about. I only found out when I finally got through to someone on the phone after like 50 attempts. Definitely try calling if you can, even though it's a nightmare. Also check if there are any pending items in your account that might not be showing up clearly on the main page - sometimes they hide stuff in weird places on the website. Hope you get it sorted out soon!
I'm going through something really similar right now! My claim has been in limbo for about 3 weeks and I can't figure out what's going on. The website just shows "pending" with no additional details. I've tried calling multiple times but keep getting disconnected after waiting on hold for hours. It's incredibly frustrating because I really need these benefits to cover my basic expenses. Has anyone found any patterns with when these issues tend to get resolved, or is it just completely random? Also wondering if there are certain times of day that are better for calling - I've been trying in the mornings but maybe afternoons work better?

lol welcome to the club 🤡 been trying to file a claim for 3 weeks now. this system is a joke
3 weeks?! That's insane. How are you surviving?
barely hanging on tbh. eating lots of ramen and praying for a miracle 😅
I went through this exact same nightmare a few months ago! What finally worked for me was using the online chat feature during off-peak hours (like mid-afternoon on weekdays). Sometimes the chat queue is shorter than the phone lines. Also, if you have any local workforce development offices near you, they might be able to help you get through to someone or at least give you better guidance on next steps. Don't give up - you'll get through eventually!

I had this exact same problem a few weeks ago! The security question reset is such a nightmare. What ended up working for me was calling their technical support line (not the regular UI line) - they have a separate number for account access issues. The wait was still long but the tech support folks were way more helpful than regular customer service. They walked me through a manual identity verification process and got me back in within one call. If you can't find the tech support number, try asking the regular customer service to transfer you to their "account access department" - that's what they called it. Hope this helps and you get it sorted soon!

•Oh wow, I didn't even know there was a separate tech support line! That's really good to know. Do you happen to remember what that number was, or how you found it? I've been calling the main line and getting transferred around like crazy. This sounds like it might be the solution I need!

I feel your pain! I went through this exact nightmare last year. Here's what finally worked for me: I called the main UI number but specifically asked to be transferred to their "account recovery specialist" - those magic words seemed to get me to someone who actually knew how to bypass the security question issue. They had me verify my identity using my previous employer info, last benefit amount, and the date I originally filed. Took about 45 minutes total but they were able to reset my password and security questions on the spot. Also, pro tip: when you do get back in, write down ALL your security question answers in a password manager or somewhere super safe. I learned that lesson the hard way! Don't lose hope - they do have ways to help, you just need to get to the right person.
