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 E318 error preventing login, disability check 6 weeks late. Help!

I've been waiting for my disability check for 6 weeks now and I'm getting really frustrated. Every time I try to log into the EDD website to check my claim status, I get this E318 error. Has anyone else dealt with this? Any advice on how to get through to a real person or fix this error?

Holly Lascelles

This happened to me last year. Turns out my account was flagged for potential fraud (it wasn't). Had to go through this whole identity verification process. It sucked, but eventually got resolved. Might be worth asking if that's whats going on with your account.

Missed EDD cutoff for PFL application - When will I be able to reach them?

Hey everyone, I'm trying to apply for PFL but I'm having trouble getting through to someone. I called today but they close at 5 pm and I missed the cutoff. Now I'm worried about when I'll be able to reach them. Has anyone else dealt with this? Any tips on the best time to call or how to get through?

Natasha Volkov

Unpopular opinion: maybe we should all show up at the EDD office in person. Make them deal with us face to face. Bet they'd fix the phone system real quick then! 😤

EDD SDI claim filed Aug 6, no updates or payments. Tech worker seeking advice

Hey everyone, I filed for disability benefits with EDD SDI on August 6th and I'm still waiting to hear back. I got the automated first email, but nothing else since then. No payments, no updates, nada. I used to work at a tech company before filing. Anyone else in the same boat or have any advice on how to speed things up? I'm trying to get through to an agent but no luck so far.

Call dropped with customer service after hours on hold - how to actually reach a human?

Has anyone else had their call drop when trying to reach customer service? I've been trying to get through for hours and when I finally did, the call disconnected. Now I'm back at square one and have to start all over again. This is so frustrating! Any tips on how to actually get someone on the line and keep them there?

Finally got through to SDI - They updated my doctor's form and checks coming in 48 hours

Hey everyone, I finally got through to SDI after multiple attempts! The agent updated my doctor's supplemental form which hadn't been processed in their system. They said I should receive my ongoing checks within 48 hours. Just wanted to share my experience and see if anyone else has had similar issues with their forms not being updated.

Mason Lopez

PSA: If your doctor uses electronic forms, make sure they actually submit them! My doc thought he sent mine in, but it turns out it was just sitting in his outbox for weeks 🤦‍♀️

I appealed and won, but it took forever. If you have a solid case, go for it. Just be prepared for a long wait.

Make sure you have all your ducks in a row before appealing. Get supporting docs from your doc, employer, etc. The more evidence, the better!

4-hour wait for 'priority' callback service - total ripoff or just me?

I've been waiting for hours to get a call back from this priority service I paid for. It's been 4 hours now and still nothing. I've had my phone on high volume the whole time. This is ridiculous! How is this considered priority? I'm so frustrated with this automated system. I'm definitely going to leave a review about this experience. Anyone else had similar issues with these so-called priority services?

Sent SDI appeal letter - how to check if received and timeline for decision?

Hey everyone, I'm dealing with a disability appeal and I'm not sure what to do next. I sent in my appeal letter to the disability department, but I have no idea if they received it or how long it'll take to get a decision. Has anyone been through this process before? What should I expect? Any advice on how to follow up or check on the status would be really helpful.

EDD only paid 14 days instead of 22 days owed - help!

Hey everyone, I'm in a bit of a pickle here. I've been waiting on my unemployment payment for 3 weeks now, and when I finally got through to someone, they only issued 14 days of back payment instead of the full 22 days I'm owed. Has anyone else dealt with this? Any advice on how to get the rest of what I'm owed?
