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!

Classic EDD nonsense 🙄 Their system is always messing up. I swear they make it hard on purpose to discourage people from applying.
Ikr? It's like they're playing games with our lives. So sick of this bs.
Come on, guys. They're probably just overwhelmed. Cut them some slack.
I had a similar issue with mismatched addresses on my documents. What worked for me was getting a certified copy of my most recent utility bill or bank statement that matches one of the addresses, then calling EDD to explain the discrepancy. They were able to manually verify my identity once I provided the additional proof of residence. It took about 2 weeks to resolve, but it's definitely fixable. Make sure to have all your documents ready when you call - they'll want to see everything at once.

This might sound crazy, but I got my issue resolved by tweeting at the EDD account. They actually responded and escalated my case. Worth a shot if you're desperate!
Social media FTW! 🏆 Public shaming works wonders sometimes lol

Update: I finally got through to EDD using that Claimyr service (thank you for that suggestion!) and spoke with a really helpful representative. They explained that I need to submit both the appeal form AND the supplemental documentation about my workers' comp reduction. The rep actually sent me all the forms I need by email while I was on the phone! I'm pulling everything together today and will submit it tomorrow. Will keep you all posted on what happens. Thanks everyone for your help during this stressful time!

•Great news! Make sure to submit everything by certified mail or with delivery confirmation so you have proof of when it was received. And remember that during the appeal process, you should continue documenting your medical condition with your doctor. Good luck!

I'm really glad to hear you got through to someone at EDD! This whole situation highlights how broken the communication system is - it shouldn't take a third-party service just to speak with a representative about basic benefits. Your case is a perfect example of why we need better coordination between workers' comp and SDI systems. Too many people fall through the cracks when their work injury benefits get reduced but they still can't access disability support. Fingers crossed that your appeal goes smoothly now that you have the right forms and documentation. Please do keep us updated - your experience could really help others who find themselves in similar situations!
