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!

For real tho! I've read more fine print in the last year than in my entire life 👀

Heads up: I heard they're doing more audits lately. Make sure all your info is accurate and up to date!

Pro tip: if you do manage to get someone on the phone, ask for a direct callback number or extension. Makes future calls way easier.

This might sound weird, but have you tried reaching out on Twitter? Sometimes public callouts get faster responses. Worth a shot if you're desperate.

Ooh, good idea. Social media shaming for the win! 😂

Unpopular opinion: maybe if we all stopped calling constantly, the lines wouldn't be so jammed and they could actually process our claims faster 🤷‍♂️

Nice try, SDI employee 😂

I'm serious tho! Think about it - if everyone chilled for a week, maybe they could catch up?

Have you tried reaching out to your local assembly member's office? They can sometimes help push things along with EDD. Worth a shot if you're stuck!

0 coins

Just google '[your area] assembly member'. Most have a 'contact us' form on their website where you can explain your situation. They often have staff dedicated to helping with EDD issues.

Thanks! I'll give that a try if things don't improve soon.

hey OP, just wondering - how long ago did you submit your disability claim? sometimes it takes a while for the payments to start, even after approval.

0 coins

It's been about 3 weeks since I got the approval notice. Is that normal?

0 coins

3 weeks is pushing it, but not unheard of. If you don't see anything by the end of this week, definitely call them.

Pro tip: If you can't get through on the main line, try calling some of the other departments. Sometimes they can transfer you internally and it's way faster.
