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!

Here's what I've learned from dealing with EDD for months: 1. Keep calling, even if it seems hopeless. Try different times of day. 2. Check your online account daily for updates or new messages. 3. Make sure all your certifications are up to date. 4. If you get through, ask for a tier 2 specialist if the first person can't help. 5. Document everything - dates you called, who you spoke to, what they said. 6. Consider reaching out to your local assembly member or state senator for help. 7. If you're really desperate, that claimyr service someone mentioned might be worth a shot. Hang in there, OP. The system sucks but don't give up!
Thank you so much for this detailed advice! I'll definitely try some of these strategies. 🙏
This should be pinned at the top of the sub tbh. Super helpful!

Pro tip: Keep a detailed log of all your communications with EDD. Dates, times, who you spoke to, what was said. It'll save you a ton of headaches if you need to dispute anything later.

Have you tried checking their website? Sometimes they have explanations for different forms there. Might save you a phone call.
Bold of you to assume their website is actually helpful 😂
Fair point 😅 But hey, worth a shot before spending hours on hold, right?

Have you tried faxing your forms? I know it sounds old school, but sometimes it works better than mail or online submission.

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.
