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 claim pending for 2 months, no updates. How to get through?

My unemployment claim has been pending for two months now without any updates. I'm really struggling financially and need to get this resolved ASAP. Has anyone else experienced such long delays? Any advice on how to get through to EDD and actually get some answers? I'm at my wits' end here.

Yuki Nakamura

Have you checked your UI Online account? Sometimes there are messages or requests for additional info there that don't get sent by mail.

EDD payment delay after questionnaire submission - need advice for tomorrow's call

Hey everyone, I'm having trouble with my unemployment payment. I filled out a questionnaire for EDD but haven't heard anything back. They didn't give me any timeline or next steps. I'm planning to call them tomorrow when they open. Any advice on what I should ask or what to expect?

Mia Roberts

Anyone know if theres been any updates to the EDD system recently? I heard they were supposed to be streamlining the process or something.

Quick question - when you say overpayment, was this something they notified you about or did you realize it yourself? Cuz I think I might be in the same boat and idk what to do 😰

They sent me a notice about it. If you think you've been overpaid, it's probably best to contact them asap before it becomes a bigger issue.

EDD disability payment delay since July - Can't upload docs online, system says max files reached but haven't uploaded any. Help!

I've been on disability since July and still haven't received a payment. It's so frustrating! I tried to upload documents online like they said I could, but when I log in, there's no option to do it. When I click on the appeal attachment, it says I've already attached the maximum number of files, but I haven't uploaded anything yet! Has anyone else dealt with this? Any advice on how to actually submit these documents or get through to someone who can help?

Connor Gallagher

Hey, not sure if this helps, but I had a similar issue last month. Turns out there was a glitch in their system affecting people who filed in July. Might be worth mentioning that specifically when you talk to them.

EDD payment from yesterday hasn't arrived, no updates. What to do?

Hey everyone, I'm having some issues with my EDD payment. I placed an order yesterday and was supposed to receive my payment, but it hasn't shown up yet. I haven't gotten any notices or updates from EDD about it either. Has anyone else experienced delays with their payments recently? Any advice on what I should do next?

Miguel Ramos

This might sound weird, but check your spam folder. I once had an important EDD notice end up there. Also, make sure your address is up to date in their system.

EDD Payment Date Missing - What to Do?

The whole system is broken. I've been waiting 3 months for my claim to be processed. This is ridiculous. We need to organize and demand better service!

SDI payment 3+ weeks late - what to do?

I haven't received my disability payment in over 3 weeks. I'm getting really worried about my finances. Has anyone else experienced this? What should I say when I call them? I'm not sure how to approach this situation.

EDD Disability: Reapplying after brief return to work - need advice!

Hey everyone, I need some advice. I tried going back to work after being on disability, but my back started acting up again after only two weeks. I had to stop working and now I'm trying to get back on disability. I saw my chiropractor recently to get documentation. Has anyone been through this process of reapplying for disability after a brief return to work? What should I expect when I call the disability office? Any tips would be really helpful!

AstroAce

Oof, back problems are the worst. Have you tried yoga or physical therapy? It helped me a ton when I was dealing with similar issues.
