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!

Anyone else notice that ever since that big fraud scandal, they're being super slow with everything? It's like they're paranoid about approving anyone now.

•Yep, they're overcompensating big time. We're all paying for those scammers' actions ðŸ˜

Pro tip: if you call right when they open, you have a better chance of getting through. Set your alarm for 7:55 AM and start dialing at 8:00 AM sharp. It's not garuanteed, but it's worked for me a couple times.

OP, have you checked if your benefit year ended? Sometimes that can cause a gap in payments while they review your claim. Might be worth looking into.
Oh, I didn't even think of that! I'll definitely check. Thanks for the tip!

lmao welcome to the club 🤡 EDD's motto should be 'We'll get to it when we get to it' smh

•More like 'We'll get to it if we feel like it' 😂
Y'all are killing me 🤣 But for real, this system is broken af

Unfortunately, repaying your employer doesn't automatically cancel out the EDD overpayment issue. EDD and your employer operate independently, so you'll need to address both situations separately. Since your employer restored your sick hours after you repaid them, you should contact EDD directly about your specific situation. You'll need to explain that: 1. You were initially paid both sick pay and SDI benefits simultaneously 2. You've since repaid your employer 3. Your sick hours have been restored to your balance You'll likely need to provide documentation showing you've repaid your employer and that your sick hours were reinstated. The overpayment notice from EDD requires a direct response - they won't automatically know about your arrangement with your employer. When you contact EDD, request specific guidance on how to resolve the overpayment notice given that you've corrected the situation with your employer. They might require a formal appeal or specific documentation to resolve the issue on their end.

Pro tip: if you have a friend or family member who speaks another language, have them call the non-English line. Usually way shorter wait times!

I've been dealing with EDD for 6 months now. It's a nightmare. Feels like I'm stuck in some kind of bureaucratic purgatory. Anyone else feel like they're just screaming into the void?
