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!

SDI Reinstatement: Can't Find 'Claim for Continued Disability Benefits' Form Online - Help!

Hey everyone, I'm trying to reinstate my SDI benefits and I'm not sure what to do. My doctor submitted their form a couple weeks ago, but I can't find the 'Claim for Continued Disability Benefits' form online. Last time I was able to fill it out on the website, but now it's not showing up under available forms. Any advice on what I should do next? I'm worried I might be missing something important.

Charity Cohan

Pro tip: if u cant get the form online, try using a different browser or clearing ur cache. Sometimes its just a tech issue on their end.

Need urgent help faxing Medical Provider form to PCP - any tips?

Hey everyone, I'm in a bit of a pickle here. I need to get a Medical Provider form faxed to my primary care doctor ASAP. Has anyone gone through this process before? Any tips on how to make sure it gets there quickly? I'm worried about delays and really need this sorted out soon.

Ashley Simian

Here's a detailed guide on how to ensure your Medical Provider form gets faxed quickly and efficiently: 1. Call your primary care doctor's office directly - Ask for the office manager or fax coordinator - Request their direct fax number for urgent documents 2. Use an online fax service - Services like eFax or HelloFax let you send faxes online - You can often send the first few faxes for free 3. Follow up with a phone call - After sending the fax, call to confirm receipt - Ask them to process it urgently 4. Consider using a courier service - If time is critical, a local courier can hand-deliver the form 5. Keep a copy of everything - Save a copy of the form and fax confirmation for your records Remember, persistence is key. Don't be afraid to follow up multiple times if necessary. Good luck!

EDD Payment Delayed and No Extension Form - What to Ask Agent?

Hey everyone, I'm having some issues with my unemployment payment. I was supposed to receive it today but nothing came through. I'm also wondering if I'll be getting an extension form.

Missed SDI deadline for revised return-to-work date. What now?

Hey everyone, I'm in a bit of a pickle with my disability claim. They asked me to send in my revised return to work date by a certain deadline, but I couldn't do it because I didn't know when I'd be able to go back yet. Now I'm worried about what this means for my claim. Has anyone else been in this situation? What should I do when I call them?

Cynthia Love

Quick question - did they send you any kind of notice or reminder about the deadline? Sometimes they claim they sent something but it never arrives.

Hey OP, don't stress too much. I missed a deadline once and thought my claim was toast. But I called, explained my situation, and they were actually pretty cool about it. Just be nice when you call (even if they're not) and you should be fine.

EDD incompetence: Conflicting info on doctor's order, no check received. Help!

I'm so frustrated with the EDD. I haven't received my check and it seems like nobody there knows what's going on. I've been told conflicting information about my doctor's order and compliance requirements. Every time I call, I get a different story. Has anyone else dealt with this level of incompetence? Any advice on how to actually get some answers and my check?

Amara Eze

I'm in the same boat. It's been 3 months and still no check. I'm about ready to give up.

EDD Callback System Not Working - No One There When I Answer

Has anyone else had issues with the call back system lately? I've used it a few times before and it always worked great - someone was on the line as soon as I picked up. But today, I answered within seconds and there was no one there. Is this happening to anyone else? Any ideas on what could be going wrong?

EDD lost my claim docs & ID verification failing - Help!

I'm so frustrated right now. The postal service lost my claim documents that I sent on August 17th, and now I can't submit my claim online. Every time I try to verify my ID, I get an error saying the system can't verify my driver's license. Has anyone else dealt with this? What should I do? I really need to get this sorted out ASAP.

CONTACT YOUR STATE REPRESENTATIVE!!! Seriously, this is the best advice I can give. They have staff dedicated to helping with EDD issues. It's literally their job to help constituents with stuff like this.

Filed for SDI weeks ago, no payment or approval info. What to do?

I filed for disability benefits a while ago and still haven't received any payment. I'm getting worried because I haven't heard anything about whether my claim was approved or when I might get paid. Has anyone else experienced this? What should I do? I'm running out of options and really need this money.

Stuck in EDD limbo: No updates on claim, can't reach anyone. Help!

Anyone else having trouble getting an update on their claim? I've been waiting forever and still haven't heard anything back. It's so frustrating! I tried calling but can't even get through to a real person. This whole process is driving me crazy. How long did it take for you guys to get an update?

Pro tip: if you're having trouble getting through on the main line, try calling some of the other departments and asking to be transferred. Sometimes works!
