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 waiting period taking forever - when will it end?

Hey everyone, I'm trying to figure out when my EDD waiting period will end. I filed my claim back in August and got notified about the waiting period in September. It's been a while now and I'm getting anxious. Anyone know how long this usually takes or if there's anything I can do to speed things up? Really need those benefits to start coming in soon.

Miguel Diaz

Pro tip: if u can't get thru on the phone, try reaching out on Twitter. Sometimes their social media team is more responsive. Worth a shot! 🤷‍♂️

SDI Last Payment Not Sent - No Updates, What to Do?

Hey everyone, I'm really frustrated. My last SDI payment hasn't been sent yet and I haven't received any updates. Has anyone else experienced this? I'm starting to get worried about how I'm going to pay my bills. Any advice on what to do or who to contact?

Diego Vargas

Pro tip: if you can get through to someone, ask for a supervisor right away. The front-line reps often don't have the authority to fix payment issues.

EDD payment only 1/4 of normal amount for 3 days instead of 2 weeks - need help ASAP!

I'm so frustrated with EDD right now. My payment was only a quarter of what I usually get, and it was for just 3 days instead of 2 weeks! My doctor extended my disability, and EDD already has the paperwork. I really need this money. Has anyone else had issues with reduced payments or delays recently? Any advice on how to get this sorted out quickly?

Chloe Robinson

Have you considered applying for other assistance programs while you sort this out? Food banks or local charities might be able to help in the meantime.

EDD: Months waiting for updated claim money, no documents to sign. What to do?

I've been waiting for months to receive money from my updated claim. My doctor sent in the new forms, but I haven't gotten anything to sign. Has anyone else experienced this? What should I do when I finally get through to someone on the phone?

Mateo Martinez

The whole system is a joke. They make it so hard on purpose so people just give up. Don't let them win! Keep pushing until you get what you're owed. 💪

EDD August payments missing - no notices received. What to do?

Hey everyone, I'm in a bit of a pickle here. I haven't gotten my unemployment payments for August and I'm starting to get worried. I haven't received any notices or letters from EDD about it either. Has anyone else experienced this? What should I do when I call them? I'm not sure what to say or ask.

EDD payment only 1/4 of normal amount for 3 days instead of 2 weeks - disability extended but money needed urgently

Hey everyone, I'm freaking out here. Just got my disability payment and it's way less than usual. Like, a quarter of what I normally get! And it's only for 3 days instead of the usual 2 weeks. My doctor extended my disability and EDD already has the paperwork. I really need this money. Anyone else dealing with this? Any advice on what to do next?

EDD claim submitted in July - no updates. What to do?

Hey everyone, I'm getting really frustrated with the EDD. I submitted my claim back in July and it's been radio silence ever since. No updates, no nothing. Has anyone else experienced this? I'm starting to worry that my claim might be stuck somewhere in the system or that I'm missing some important documentation. Any advice on how to get some answers would be greatly appreciated!

Esmeralda Gómez

Not to be that guy, but have you tried faxing them? I know it sounds ancient, but I've heard some people have had success that way. Worth a shot maybe?

SDI: Last payment not received, anyone else experiencing delays?

Hey everyone, I'm having trouble with my last SDI payment. It's been a few days since I was supposed to receive it, but nothing has shown up in my account. The payment was for the last few days of August and the first of September. Has anyone else experienced delays with their final SDI payments? Any advice on what I should do next?

EDD Limbo: How Long Have You Been Waiting for Your Issue to Be Resolved?

Anyone else still waiting on their EDD issue to be resolved? I've been stuck in limbo for what feels like forever. Just wondering if I'm the only one or if others are in the same boat. How long have you been waiting? Any tips on how to speed up the process?

Sophie Hernandez

Quick question - does anyone know if theres a difference between calling on weekdays vs weekends? Trying to figure out the best time to get through.

In my experience, early mornings on Tuesdays or Wednesdays seem to have slightly shorter wait times. But it's still a crapshoot tbh.
