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!

SDI using wrong DOI and claim number for workers comp - how to fix?

I'm having a nightmare with my workers comp claim. The SDI is using the wrong Date of Injury and claim number. I think my doctor's office might have given them incorrect info. This is causing major delays in getting my claim approved. I've been trying to get through to EDD all day to fix this, but I'm always next in line when they close. Anyone else dealt with this kind of mess? Any advice on how to get this sorted out quickly?

have u tried faxing them? sometimes old school methods work best with these dinosaur agencies lol

Missed EDD payment deadline by one day - am I screwed?

Hey everyone, I'm freaking out a bit here. I missed the deadline for my last payment on 9/27. I just finished the questionnaire yesterday, but now I'm worried it might be too late to get my payment. Has anyone else been in this situation? What should I expect? I'm really hoping I didn't mess everything up by being a day late.

Carmen Ortiz

have you tried turning it off and on again? 🤣 jk jk. but seriously, sometimes their website glitches. Try clearing your cache and cookies, then log in again. Might solve the problem without having to call.

EDD cut off my disability insurance - missed a form, what now?

Hey everyone, I'm in a bit of a pickle. My disability insurance got cut off because I didn't know I had to fill out some form. It's been about a month since I got any notice from them. Has anyone else dealt with this? What should I do to get it reinstated? I'm kinda freaking out here.

Sean O'Connor

I had a similar issue last year. Turned out I missed a doctor's certification. Make sure you check if that's what you're missing too. It's easy to overlook!

Pro tip: There are online fax services if you don't have access to a physical fax machine. Some are even free for a limited number of pages.

SDI disability claim stalled after supplemental certification extension - No payments since 9/1, no response to messages. Help!

Anyone else having trouble with their SDI disability claim after submitting a supplemental certification extension? I haven't received any payments since September 1st and I've left several messages asking about the status, but no response. It's been radio silence and I'm getting worried. Any advice on how to get through to someone or speed up the process?

Has anyone tried reaching out to them on social media? I've heard some people have luck getting responses on Twitter.

Guys, I just got through to someone! Here's what worked for me: 1. Called at 7:59 AM 2. Chose option 2, then 4, then 1 3. When it asked for SSN, I pressed # instead 4. Got transferred to a real person within 10 minutes Hope this helps someone!

@profile18 I think it flags your call as a general inquiry rather than a specific claim. Seems to route you to a different queue.

EDD claim update needed - company paying 75% of benefits, what do I do?

Hey everyone, I need some advice. My company just told me they're gonna start paying 75% of my unemployment benefits starting next Monday. I'm not sure what this means for my claim or if I need to update anything with EDD. Has anyone dealt with something similar? What should I do next?

Ravi Gupta

am i the only 1 who thinks its weird the company is paying 75%? like, why not just bring you back full time?

EDD denied my SDI claim, saying $0 income. I'm self-employed - how to prove real income?

I recently applied for disability benefits after having a baby, but got denied because they said my income was $0. I'm self-employed in real estate, so my income varies month to month. How can I prove my actual income to EDD? They never even asked me to verify it before rejecting my application. Has anyone else dealt with this? Any advice on appealing or getting them to look at my application again?

Amara Okafor

Quick question - did you file for State Disability Insurance (SDI) or Paid Family Leave (PFL)? Just want to make sure you applied for the right program since you mentioned having a baby.

I applied for SDI. Should I have done PFL instead?

SDI is correct for the initial recovery period after birth. You can transition to PFL after that if you want more bonding time. Just making sure!

Ive been in your shoes and it SUCKS. heres what worked for me: 1. Call right when they open 2. Have all your docs ready 3. Be super nice to the rep (even tho you wanna scream) 4. Ask for a supervisor if the first person cant help 5. Follow up EVERY WEEK until its resolved Stay strong, you got this! 💪

SDI Payment Stopped - Missing Extension Form from EDD. Help!

Hey everyone, I'm in a bit of a pickle with my disability payments. My disability was extended, but now the EDD needs to send me a form to fill out so I can keep getting payments. The problem is, I haven't received the form yet, and my payments have stopped coming in. Has anyone else dealt with this? Any advice on what I should do next?

Jason Brewer

Have you tried faxing them? I know it sounds old school, but sometimes that gets a faster response than calling or emailing.

Just a heads up, there's been a lot of delays lately due to system upgrades. Might be why you haven't received the form yet. Doesn't make it any less frustrating though.

EDD payment held up due to doctor verification - claim expires tomorrow! Help!

I'm so frustrated. My unemployment payment is being held up because I couldn't get an appointment with the doctor for verification. My claim expires tomorrow and I still haven't received any money. I've tried calling the doctor's office but can't get through to anyone. Left messages but no response. What am I supposed to do? Has anyone else dealt with this?
