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!

Have you considered looking into partial disability? Might be easier to qualify for if your condition has improved somewhat since November.

I hadn't even thought of that! Thanks for the suggestion, I'll definitely look into it.

Just went thru this myself. Make sure you keep ALL your paperwork from your previous claim. They might ask for it and it's a pain to get copies. Also, don't forget to follow up regularly - squeaky wheel gets the grease and all that jazz. 💯

This! I lost half my paperwork and it set me back weeks. Learn from my fail, OP!

Has anyone tried going to an EDD office in person? Wonder if that would be faster than calling

0 coins

I tried that last month. Waited 4 hours only to be told I needed to call the main line anyway. Total waste of time 😑

0 coins

Oof, that sucks. Thanks for the heads up, guess I'll skip that idea

PRO TIP: If you can prove the overpayment wasn't your fault, you can request a waiver. Google 'EDD overpayment waiver' for the form

Oh wow, I didn't know about this! Definitely gonna look into it, thanks!

Pro tip: call right when they open. I got through after only 30 mins on hold last week!

This might sound crazy, but have you tried reaching out on Twitter? I've seen some people get responses that way. Worth a shot! 🤷‍♂️

The SDI system is so broken. We need to organize and demand better service. This is ridiculous!

Preach! 🙌 But how do we even start?

I'm thinking we could start a petition or maybe even reach out to local news stations. This affects so many people!

100% agree. It's a mess. We should start a petition or something.

0 coins

Petition won't do jack. We need to vote in people who actually care about fixing this stuff.
