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 ā€“ 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 feel like we need a complete overhaul of the unemployment system? This is ridiculous. We're in 2023 and we're still dealing with paper forms and hour-long hold times. šŸ¤”

Pro tip: if you can't get through on the phone, try reaching out on Twitter. Sometimes their social media team is more responsive than their phone lines. Worth a shot! šŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø

Hey OP, how long has it been since you filed? Sometimes it can take up to 10 business days for them to process everything.

Not to be that person, but have you double-checked that you're eligible for disability? The rules can be tricky and sometimes people apply when they don't actually qualify. Might save you some headache if you review the requirements.

Salim Nasir

Yeah, I've gone over the requirements a bunch of times. I'm pretty sure I qualify, which is why the denial is so frustrating. But thanks for checking!

Pro tip: if you're having trouble getting through on the phone, try calling right when they open in the morning. The wait times are usually shorter then.

Pro tip: If you're getting an error online, try filing by mail. Yeah, it's old school, but sometimes it's the only way to get around their janky system. You can download the forms from their website and mail them in. Takes longer, but at least it works!

Anyone else feel like they're trapped in a kafka-esque nightmare dealing with EDD? It's like, you can't file online cuz of errors, can't get through on the phone, and when you do it's a different answer every time. I'm bout ready to give up fr šŸ˜©

Has anyone tried reaching out to their state representative for help? I've heard sometimes they can intervene if you're having trouble with EDD.

I did this! It actually worked. Took about 2 weeks, but my rep's office was able to get EDD to sort out my issue. Def worth a try if you're stuck.

Quick tip: if you're gonna try calling, use a phone that can do three-way calling. That way, if you finally get through and they need to transfer you, you can add a third line instead of getting disconnected and having to start all over. Learned that the hard way šŸ˜…

Here's what I've learned about ERROR E 318 and how to potentially resolve it: 1. First, make sure all your personal information is 100% accurate. Even a small typo can trigger this error. 2. Try using a different browser. Chrome and Firefox tend to work best with the SDI website. 3. Clear your browser cache and cookies before attempting to register again. 4. If possible, use a desktop or laptop computer instead of a mobile device. 5. Check your internet connection. A unstable connection can sometimes cause this error. 6. If none of the above work, you may need to verify your identity in person. You can schedule an appointment at your local SDI office. 7. As a last resort, you can try calling the SDI helpline, but be prepared for long wait times. If you're still stuck after trying these steps, you might want to consider using a service like Claimyr to get through to a representative faster. It costs money, but it could save you a lot of time and frustration. Hope this helps! Let us know if you manage to resolve the issue.
