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!

Anyone else notice how they always seem to 'lose' your documents? Make copies of EVERYTHING you send them!
Omg yes! I had to send my ID verification like 3 times 🙄

idk if this helps but I found out my employer hadn't reported my wages correctly which was holding up my claim. Might be worth checking with your old job to make sure they filed everything right

Update: I applied yesterday and listed both income sources. The online system was confusing but I managed to get through it. Now my claim status says "under review" and mentions something about determining my "base period wages" - whatever that means. Guess I'll be making some phone calls to figure out what's next. Thanks for all the advice everyone!
Base period" wages refers to how they calculate your benefit amount - they look at your earnings over the first four of the last five completed calendar quarters. This is why documentation is so important. Since'we re in Q2 of 2025 now,'they ll look at your income from January-December 2024. "The under" review status is normal while they verify both incomesources.

•Good point. Also make sure your phone is charged! My hearing lasted almost an hour.

The real problem is TWC is DESIGNED to side with employers initially. They know most people give up and don't appeal. And they make the appeal process as slow and painful as possible hoping even more people give up. I filed a complaint with the DOL after my case because of how they handled it. Didn't change anything for me personally but maybe if enough people report the issues they'll be forced to improve the system.
While there are certainly issues with the system, I don't think it's fair to say TWC is designed to side with employers. The initial determination process is just more streamlined and doesn't always allow for thorough review of all evidence. That's precisely why the appeal process exists - to provide a more comprehensive review when needed. The backlog is unfortunate but it's more a result of understaffing than an intentional barrier.

Plot twist: the unemployment office is actually run by sloths. That's why everything takes foreverrrrr 🦥😂

Hey OP, what industry were you working in before? Some sectors have special programs or resources that might help.
