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!

Problemas con pagos de EDD y falta de atención en español - Necesito ayuda urgente!

Alguien más ha tenido problemas con sus pagos del desempleo? Llevo semanas tratando de comunicarme con alguien que hable español pero no he tenido suerte. La última vez que llamé me atendió alguien que hablaba coreano y me colgó. Estoy desesperado y no sé qué más hacer. Algún consejo?

Maya Patel

Esto es inaceptable. Deberíamos organizarnos y hacer una queja formal. Alguien sabe cómo podemos contactar a nuestros representantes locales para presionar por un mejor servicio en español?

Pro tip: Si logras hablar con alguien, pide su número de extensión directa. Así la próxima vez puedes intentar contactarlos directamente. No siempre funciona, pero cuando lo hace, te ahorras mucho tiempo.

SDI Online E311 Error: Info Doesn't Match EDD Records. Help!

Hey everyone, I'm having trouble filing for disability insurance through EDD. I'm trying to register as a claimant on SDI Online, but I keep getting an E311 error. The system says the info I provided doesn't match their records. I've double-checked everything - my name, SSN, and birthdate. Has anyone else run into this? Any advice on how to fix it? I really need to file my claim for last month when I was out sick.

Amina Bah

Hot take: the system is designed to be frustrating so people give up. Stay strong and keep pushing!

For address changes, you might be able to do that online. For the missing payment, yeah, you'll probably need to talk to someone. Keep trying the main line, and good luck!

EDD wants proof of address by tomorrow, but can't mail it in time. Help!

Hey everyone, I'm in a bit of a pickle. I just got a letter in the mail asking for proof of address for my eligibility. The problem is, they want it by tomorrow, but I won't be able to mail it until later this week. Has anyone else dealt with this? What should I do?

Hunter Edmunds

Have you tried faxing it? Sometimes that's faster than mail and they might accept it.

SDI Account Error After ID.me Verification - Can't File Claim

Hey everyone, I'm having trouble with my SDI account. I completed the ID.me verification process, including the video call and providing all the evidence they asked for. They approved me, but now when I try to file a claim, I keep getting an error message saying 'Something went wrong.' It won't let me proceed at all. Has anyone else experienced this? Any ideas on how to fix it?

unpopular opinion: maybe try going to an actual EDD office in person? I know it's a pain, but sometimes face-to-face is the only way to get things sorted. Just bring a book and be prepared to wait all day lol

Tips for upcoming EDD status check call? Need advice on prep

Hey everyone, I'm checking on my status with the unemployment office. I've got a call scheduled for Tuesday and I'm trying to make sure I'm prepared. Anyone have tips on what documents I should have ready or specific questions I should ask? I want to make the most of this call and hopefully get some answers.

Pro tip: if you get a good agent, ask for their direct extension or if theres a way to reach them again. Some are way more helpful than others!
