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!

Claro! Básicamente llamé todos los días apenas abrían. También envié mensajes por el portal y por Twitter. Eventualmente, un agente revisó mi caso y descubrió que había un error en el sistema. Persistencia es la clave!

Here's what I've learned after dealing with unemployment for months: • Call early in the morning, right when they open • Use a landline if possible for better connection • If you can't hear them, immediately ask to be transferred to another agent • Keep detailed notes of every call (date, time, agent name if possible) • If all else fails, contact your local representative's office. They can sometimes help push things through Hope this helps! Hang in there, we're all in the same boat 🚢

EDD online application error after ID.me verification - help!

I'm having trouble with my EDD application online. After completing the ID.me verification, I tried to go back to the EDD website to finish my application, but I keep getting an error message. Has anyone else experienced this? Any advice on how to fix it or what to do next?

Oof, yeah that's not very informative. Classic EDD. Might be worth trying at different times of day, sometimes their system gets overloaded.

Here's what you need to do: 1. Call the unemployment office immediately. 2. Clearly explain that you received the wrong form (doctor's form instead of Continued Claim Certification). 3. Request that they mail you the correct form ASAP. 4. Ask if there's a way to submit the form online or download it while waiting for the mailed copy. 5. Make note of the date you called and who you spoke with. 6. Follow up in a week if you haven't received the correct form. 7. Consider visiting a local office if possible for faster resolution. Remember, stay calm and polite, but be persistent. These mix-ups happen, but it's important to get it sorted quickly to avoid delays in your benefits. Good luck!

Pro tip: If you cant get through on the main line, try calling your local EDD office directly. Sometimes they can help or at least transfer you to the right person.

Has anyone else noticed that their claim status changes randomly? Mine went from 'paid' to 'pending' and back again without me doing anything. EDD's system seems buggier than a summer campground.

Pro tip: If you do get through, ask them to put notes on your account about the call. It helps if you need to follow up later and proves you've been trying to resolve the issue.

Hey OP, just wondering - what kind of condition do you have that prevents you from driving that far? No pressure to share if you're not comfortable, just curious if it's something I might be able to offer advice on.

Okay, let me break this down for everyone struggling to reach SDI. I've been dealing with them for years, and here's what I've learned: 1. Timing is key. Try calling right when they open (8 AM) or just before lunch (11:30 AM). These times often have shorter wait times. 2. Use the online portal as much as possible. Sometimes you can resolve issues without calling. 3. If you must call, be prepared. Have all your documents ready, know your claim number, and write down your questions beforehand. 4. Be persistent. If you can't get through one day, try again the next. It's frustrating, but sometimes it's just a numbers game. 5. Consider using a call-back service like Claimyr if you're really stuck. It costs money, but it might be worth it if you're losing work time trying to call. 6. If all else fails, reach out to your local assemblymember or state senator. They often have liaisons who can help with SDI issues. Remember, the system is overloaded right now, so patience is key. Good luck everyone!

Great advice! I'd add: keep a log of all your call attempts (dates/times). It can be helpful if you need to escalate your case later.

Unpopular opinion: maybe try going to an EDD office in person? I know it's a pain, but sometimes face-to-face is the only way to get things sorted with these bureaucratic nightmares.
