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 โ€“ 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!

No SDI payments since August - anyone else experiencing long delays?

Hey everyone, I'm really worried about my disability payments. I haven't received any updates or payments since August 11th. It's been months now and I'm getting desperate. Has anyone else experienced this kind of delay? Any advice on what I should do next? I've tried calling but can't get through to anyone. This is so frustrating!

Mikayla Davison

I'm in the same boat, OP. It's been 3 months for me. Starting to feel like I'm invisible to them. Hang in there โค๏ธ

EDD Release Paperwork Help - What Do I Need for My Appointment?

Hey everyone, I'm trying to get some release paperwork from EDD but I'm not sure exactly what I need. Has anyone gone through this process before? I've got an appointment scheduled for later today but I'm feeling a bit lost. Any advice would be appreciated!

Malik Jenkins

Release paperwork is usually related to ending your claim or releasing info. Make sure you bring ID and any claim numbers you have to your appointment. And maybe your most recent benefit statement if you have it. Better to bring too much than not enough!

EDD Disability Benefits: Submitted certification, no payment received. Help!

Hey everyone, I'm in a bit of a pickle here. I submitted my disability benefits certification claim a while back, but I still haven't received any payment. I've checked my online account and everything seems to be in order. No notices or letters from EDD either. Has anyone else experienced this? Any advice on what I should do next? I'm getting worried about bills piling up.

Sofia Morales

Have you checked your spam folder? Sometimes EDD emails end up there. Also, make sure your contact info is up to date in your account.

SDI mistaking employer contact for friend's number - How to fix?

I'm having trouble with SDI. They think my employer's contact number is my friend's number. Has anyone else dealt with this? I need to verify my employee contact info but HR is out of state. Any advice on how to handle this when I finally get through to them?

Pro tip: if you can, try to get your HR to email SDI directly. Sometimes they respond better to employer communications than individual claimants. Good luck!

Missed call from EDD about final Disability claim update - how to reach a real person?

EDD sent wrong form for claim - how to fix?

I got sent the wrong form for my claim and now I'm waiting to talk to someone about it. Has anyone else had this happen? It's so frustrating to deal with all this paperwork and then find out you have the wrong form. I'm hoping they can sort this out quickly once I get through to an agent.

EDD: 6 weeks, no update on unemployment claim. What to do?

I filed for unemployment benefits over 6 weeks ago and still haven't heard anything back. I've been checking my account status regularly but there's no update. I even tried calling but couldn't get through to anyone. Has anyone else experienced such a long wait time? What should I do next?

Caleb Stone

Unpopular opinion: sometimes no news is good news. If there was a problem with your claim, they'd probably let you know faster. Hang in there!
