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!

EDD Claims Delayed: Anyone else waiting forever for unemployment payments?

Hey everyone, I'm dealing with some issues regarding my unemployment claims. I've been waiting on them for a while now and I'm not sure what's going on. Has anyone else experienced delays with their payments or missing information on their claims? It's getting really frustrating and I could use some advice or just to know if I'm not alone in this.

Carmella Fromis

Have you tried reaching out on Twitter? Sometimes their social media team is more responsive than the phone lines. Worth a shot!

EDD Name Change Nightmare: 26+ Hours No Response. What to Do?

Hey everyone, I'm having trouble changing my name on my EDD account profile. Has anyone gone through this process before? I've been trying to get through to someone for over a day now and still no luck. What should I do if I can't reach anyone within 48 hours? Any advice would be appreciated!

Ana Erdoğan

Pro tip: if you cant get through on the main line, try calling some of the other EDD numbers (like the employer line or tech support). Sometimes they can transfer you to the right department and it's faster than waiting on the main queue.

Need help appealing EDD disability extension - doctor already approved til November

Hey everyone, I need some advice on extending my disability benefits. My doctor has already extended my disability until November, but I'm not sure how to go about appealing to EDD for another year. Has anyone gone through this process before? I'm trying to figure out the best way to contact them and what information I need to provide. Any tips or experiences would be really helpful!

SDI claim pending for 2 weeks, need to submit bonding claim ASAP. Help!

I submitted my SDI claim two weeks ago and it's still pending. Anyone know how long it usually takes to get an update? Also, I'm about to hit the 6-week mark after having my baby and need to submit a bonding claim. Should I wait for the SDI to process first or just go ahead with the bonding claim? And while we're at it, does anyone know if these payments are taxable? I'm stressing out here!

Yuki Kobayashi

Quick question - does anyone know if having an open SDI claim affects the bonding claim process at all? I'm in a similar boat and now I'm worried...

Carmen Vega

From what I remember, they're separate processes. You should be fine to submit both. But maybe double-check on the EDD website to be sure?

EDD calls keep dropping immediately after answering - Help!

Hey everyone, I'm having a really frustrating issue with my unemployment calls. Every time I try to get through, the call keeps dropping right after I answer. It's happening over and over again and I'm worried about missing important deadlines. Has anyone else experienced this? Any tips on how to actually get through and stay connected?

Ethan Wilson

I'm an ex-EDD employee, and I can tell you that the system is overwhelmed. They're working on upgrading the phone systems, but it's a slow process. My advice: be persistent and patient. And yeah, early morning calls are your best bet.

EDD paid only 1/4 of usual amount for 3 days instead of 2 weeks despite doctor's extension. What to do?

My disability payment was way off this time. I usually get a full two weeks, but this time it was only for 3 days and the amount was like a quarter of what I normally receive. I've already sent in the paperwork from my doctor for an extension, which EDD should have by now. I really need this money. Has anyone else experienced something similar or know what I should do?

CosmicCommander

idk if this helps, but I had a similar issue and it turned out my employer had reported incorrect wages. Might be worth checking with your work too.

CONTACT YOUR STATE REPRESENTATIVE!!! Seriously, this is the fastest way to get EDD to move on your claim. They have special liaisons who can cut through the red tape.

Still waiting on last EDD paycheck - no updates after several days. How long did yours take?

Hey everyone, I'm still waiting on my last EDD paycheck. It's been a few days now and I haven't seen any updates. Anyone else in the same boat? How long did it take for you to get your final payment?

PSA: If you're having trouble with EDD, reach out to your state assembly member or senator. Their office can often help speed things up!

EDD Nightmare: Filed for disability in July, laid off again, have doctor's note - still no benefits. Help!

I've been having issues with my EDD disability benefits. I filed back in July and still haven't received any disbursements. To make matters worse, I just got laid off again last week! I have a doctor's note saying I no longer need disability, but I'm not sure how to update my file or get this sorted out. Has anyone else dealt with something similar? Any advice on how to get through to EDD and resolve this mess?

Zara Ahmed

Hey, quick question - when you say you were "laid off again," does that mean you were working while on disability? Cuz that could complicate things with your claim. Might wanna clarify that when you talk to EDD.

Keisha Jackson

Good catch! No, I wasn't working on disability. I meant I was laid off in July, then filed for disability, and now I'm technically laid off again as my doctor says I can work but my old job is gone. It's a mess!

Ah, gotcha. Yeah, that's a tricky situation. Definitely explain that timeline clearly to EDD. You might need to file a new unemployment claim now that you're cleared to work.

SDI confusion: Only got 5 weeks payment for 6 week claim after giving birth. Help with EDD 7-day waiting period?

I recently gave birth and I'm trying to figure out my disability benefits. I applied for 6 weeks of State Disability Insurance (SDI) but only received 5 weeks of payments. I just learned about the 7-day unpaid waiting period and now I'm confused. Does this mean I need to apply for 7 weeks to get 6 weeks of payment? I'm worried about how this might affect my Paid Family Leave (PFL) start date and my return to work. I was planning on 6 weeks SDI followed by 8 weeks PFL. Any advice on how to handle this with EDD?

Sophia Miller

Quick question - does anyone know if the waiting period is waived for c-sections or other complications?

0 coins

Mason Davis

I don't think so. Pretty sure the waiting period applies to all SDI claims, regardless of the reason. But double-check with EDD to be sure!

Protip: keep a log of all your calls and who you talk to at EDD. It'll save you a headache later if theres any issues with your claim.
