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 Payment Status Issues - Anyone Else Struggling to Get Answers?

Hey everyone, I'm having some issues with my unemployment payments and I'm not sure what's going on. Has anyone else had problems with their payment status recently? I've been trying to get through to EDD but it's been impossible to reach anyone. Any advice would be really appreciated!

Anyone else notice that EDD seems to have more technical issues right when rent is due? 🤔 Coincidence? I think not!

Have you checked if there's a flag on your account? Sometimes they put a stop payment flag and don't even notify you. It's ridiculous.

¿Cómo confirmar si EDD recibió mi apelación de discapacidad? No tengo número de referencia

Hola a todos. Envié una apelación de discapacidad hace un tiempo y no he recibido ninguna confirmación. ¿Alguien sabe cómo puedo averiguar si la recibieron? No tengo ninguna carta o número de referencia, solo la fecha en que la envié. ¿Qué debo hacer?

SDI claim vanished from EDD app - still active? Payment timeline?

Hey everyone, I'm having an issue with my SDI claim. It suddenly disappeared from the EDD app and I'm not sure what's going on. Has anyone else experienced this? I need to know if my claim is still active and when I might expect payment. Any advice on what to say when I finally get through to a representative?

Ryder Everingham

This happened to me last month. Turns out there was a glitch in their system that affected a bunch of claims. It got fixed after about a week, but I had to call to get it sorted out. Hang in there!

Paid for service within 48hr window, never received it. Company claims it expired. What can I do?

I'm so frustrated with this company! I paid for a service within the 48-hour window they promised, but I never received it. Now they're telling me it expired? That's not right. I think I deserve a discount or refund for this. Has anyone else dealt with something similar? What did you do to resolve it?

Emma Swift

I've dealt with similar issues before, and here's what I've learned works best: • Always communicate in writing (email) so you have a paper trail • Be persistent but polite - kill them with kindness • Escalate to a supervisor if the first-line support can't help • Use social media - sometimes companies respond faster to public complaints • If all else fails, consider filing a complaint with the Better Business Bureau or your local consumer protection agency Remember, the squeaky wheel gets the grease. Don't give up!

How to switch from DI to PFL for baby bonding? Need advice ASAP!

Hey everyone, I'm in a bit of a pickle here. My disability insurance just ended and I want to switch over to paid family leave for bonding with my new baby. Has anyone gone through this process before? I'm not sure how to make the transition smoothly and I'm worried about a gap in payments. Any advice would be really appreciated!

Madison King

Quick tip: if you can, try to apply online. It's usually faster than mailing in forms. And triple-check everything before you submit!

I managed to get retroactive payments, but it took a lot of follow-up calls and providing extra documentation. It's possible, just be prepared for a fight.

EDD payment 2 weeks late, no updates. What to ask when I finally reach someone?

Hey everyone, I'm getting frustrated with my unemployment claim. It's been 2 weeks since my last payment and I haven't heard anything. I tried calling but couldn't get through. No updates, no letters, nothing. Anyone else dealing with this? Any advice on what I should do or ask when I finally get someone on the phone?

StormChaser

Unpopular opinion: maybe try going to your local EDD office in person? I know it's a pain, but I got my issue resolved same day when I did this.

Some offices are open for in-person help. Check the EDD website for locations near you. It's not advertised much but it's an option.

SDI claim mistake: Only paid for 2 days instead of 6 weeks after having a baby. How to fix?

Hey everyone, I'm in a bit of a pickle with my SDI claim. I just had a baby and filed for disability, but I think I messed up. I only got paid for two days instead of the full 6 weeks I'm supposed to get. Has anyone dealt with this before? I'm not sure how to fix it or what I need to do. Any advice would be really appreciated!

Pro tip: if you can't get through on the main line, try calling right when they open. I've had better luck that way.

EDD denied my identity verification despite submitting all documents. What now?

I'm so frustrated with the EDD. I submitted all my documents for identity verification, including my government ID and proof of wages, but they still denied me! They said the information I provided wasn't enough to establish my identity, address, Social Security number ownership, and verify my wages. Has anyone else dealt with this? What should I do next? I'm thinking about calling them, but I'm not sure what to say.
