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!

Here's what you need to do to get this sorted: โ€ข First, double-check that your doctor's certification was actually received. Sometimes they get lost in the system. โ€ข For the address change, you can usually do that online through your EDD account. If not, you'll need to fill out a specific form (DE 1101C I think). โ€ข Keep calling! I know it sucks, but persistence is key. Try early mornings or late afternoons for better luck. โ€ข Document everything. Keep a log of when you call, who you talk to, and what they say. โ€ข If all else fails, contact your local state representative. They can sometimes help push things through. Good luck! The system is a mess, but don't give up.

It sounds like you're going through a tough situation, and I can understand how stressful this must be. Unfortunately, delays in disability claims aren't uncommon due to the heavy backlog and sometimes system errors. It's good to hear that you've managed to get some information using Claimyr, which has been a useful tool for many dealing with similar frustrations. While some see it as steep, others find the $20 worth the time and stress saved, especially given the current inefficiencies in traditional methods. However, it's also important to note that while Claimyr can connect you to a representative more quickly, it doesn't address the root issues causing these delays. To have a balanced approach, consider the advice given in some comments here: document everything related to your claim, check your UI Online account for updates, and don't hesitate to reach out to your local representative if needed. These steps can sometimes get things moving faster. Keep in mind that the current system is overwhelmed, and patience combined with persistence is your best ally. Hopefully, you'll see progress soon. Best of luck!

As an authoritative response to your issue, Claimyr is a legitimate service that has helped many individuals navigate the bureaucratic hurdles of EDD. They charge $20 to connect you with a live representative by handling the wait time for you. While this can be a game changer for many, it's worth considering the cost and your budget. Some users have reported only waiting around 30 minutes after using the service, which is significantly less than the hours spent waiting otherwise. However, it is essential to ensure you exhaust no-cost options first, like checking your online portal for updates, confirming your claim status, and ensuring all documentation is correctly filled out. Additionally, be proactive in reaching out to your local representatives as they can sometimes expedite the process without any cost. Balancing the use of paid services like Claimyr with free alternatives can offer the best chance of resolving your issue efficiently.

Listen up, folks. I've been dealing with EDD for years, and here's what I've learned about name mismatches: 1. Document everything. Every call, every letter, every interaction. 2. Be persistent. Call daily if you have to. 3. Ask for a supervisor if the first agent can't help. 4. Send a written request for name correction via certified mail. 5. If all else fails, contact your state representative's office. Remember, the system is designed to be frustrating. Don't give up! You're entitled to your benefits.

I had a similar issue last year. It took MONTHS to resolve, but I finally got it sorted. Here's what I did: 1. Got a letter from my doctor confirming their license status 2. Contacted my local state representative's office for help 3. Filed a formal appeal with EDD 4. Kept calling EDD (like, every day) until I got someone helpful Don't give up! It's a pain, but you can get this fixed.

Okay, listen up. I work in healthcare administration, so I know a thing or two about this mess. Here's what you need to do: 1. Get a copy of your doctor's current medical license. Make sure it includes the issue date and expiration date. 2. Write a formal letter to EDD explaining the situation. Include your claim number, the date of the notice you received, and a clear statement that your doctor is and has been licensed. 3. Include a copy of your doctor's license with your letter. 4. Send everything via certified mail so you have proof they received it. 5. File an appeal immediately if you haven't already. You usually have 30 days from the date of the notice. 6. Contact your state representative or senator's office. They can often help expedite these issues. 7. Keep detailed records of every communication with EDD. Dates, times, names of who you spoke to, what was said. 8. If your benefits have been cut off, look into applying for emergency assistance programs in your area while this gets sorted out. Remember, EDD deals with thousands of claims. Mistakes happen. Stay persistent and document everything. You've got this!

Quick question - does the appeal have to be sent separately from the letter explaining the situation, or can they be combined?

You can combine them, just make sure the appeal is clearly marked within the document.

Regarding Claimyr, it's a helpful tool for those who can afford it and need an urgent resolution. However, it's important to remember that not everyone can spare $20, especially when already facing financial difficulties. Weigh the pros and cons before proceeding.
