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!

Need help changing SDI claim effective date - paid for callback, will I get through today?

Hey everyone, I'm trying to change the effective date for my SDI claim. I paid for a callback service to get through to an agent, but now I'm wondering if I'll actually get a call today. It's Friday afternoon and I know they close at 5 PM. Has anyone had experience with this? What should I expect when I finally talk to an agent about changing my claim date?

anyone else think its crazy we gotta pay extra just to talk to someone at a government agency? 🤡 system's broken af

EDD Eligibility Verification: Stuck in Phone Hell, What If I Don't Get a Call Today?

Hey everyone, I'm trying to verify my eligibility for unemployment benefits and I'm having a hard time getting through to someone on the phone. I've been calling for days but can't seem to reach anyone. I'm in Southern California and it's already afternoon. What happens if I don't get a call today? Will I have to start all over again tomorrow? Any advice would be appreciated!

SDI payments delayed - getting texts but no calls. Help!

I'm having trouble with my disability payments. I got a text saying I was next in line, but it's been over an hour and I haven't received anything. I'm wondering why I'm getting texts but no calls. Has anyone else experienced this? Any advice on how to get through to someone?

Isaac Wright

This is why we need to overhaul the entire disability system. It's not just you, OP. Thousands of people are struggling with delays and communication issues. We need to pressure our representatives to make changes. Here's what I suggest: • Document everything. Keep a log of all your attempts to contact them. • Reach out to your local state representative. They often have staff dedicated to helping with these issues. • File a formal complaint with the department. • Join advocacy groups fighting for disability rights. Remember, you're not alone in this fight. The system is broken, but together we can push for change. Don't give up! 💪

I looked into it, but most lawyers won't take SDI cases unless it's a large amount. Might be different in your area tho.

EDD claim ended, doctor extended disability, no extension paper received - too late to certify?

My disability claim ended on the 11th and my doctor extended it, but I never got an extension paper. I logged on today and realized I had to certify, but I'm not sure if it's too late. Has anyone dealt with this before? What should I do now?

Zoe Wang

Quick question - did you get any kind of confirmation when you certified? If so, you might be okay. Either way, definitely follow up with them ASAP.

Andrew Pinnock

I did get a confirmation page, but I'm still worried since it was late. I'll definitely follow up tho, thanks!

EDD claim stuck in waiting period, no payments received - what does this mean?

Hey everyone, I'm really confused about my unemployment claim. It's showing as in a waiting period and I haven't received any payments yet. I haven't gotten any notices or letters from EDD about my claim status either. What does this waiting period mean? Has anyone else experienced this? Any advice on what I should do next?

Emma Davis

Pro tip: document EVERYTHING. Every call, every letter, every email. You never know when you'll need to prove something later.

EDD payment delay after doctor's extension - 14 days and counting. Help!

Hey everyone, I'm in a bit of a pickle with EDD. My doctor sent in an extension for my claim, but it's been 14 days since my last payment and nothing's happened. I've been trying to get through to them on the phone but no luck. Anyone else dealing with this? Any advice on how to speed up the process or get someone on the line?

EDD payment issues after early return to work - no payment for 1+ month

Has anyone else had issues with their disability payments after returning to work early? I submitted my revised return to work date (went back about 3 weeks earlier than planned) but haven't received payment for those last few weeks. It's been over a month now and I'm getting worried. Any advice on how to follow up or what to expect?
