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!

I heard they're super backlogged because of all the fraud cases they're dealing with. Might be why it's taking so long. Hang in there!

This happened to me last year. Turns out there was a glitch in their system and a bunch of payments got delayed. Keep calling and don't give up!

Unpopular opinion: maybe there's a valid reason they're not processing your claim? Not trying to be a jerk, but are you sure you qualify?
I'm pretty sure I qualify, but I guess it's possible I misunderstood something. How can I double-check my eligibility?
Check out the SDI eligibility requirements on their website. If you're still unsure, maybe consult with a benefits counselor or an attorney who specializes in disability claims.

have u tried faxing them? I know it sounds old school but I got a response within a week after I faxed my docs
What year is it, 1995? 😂 But for real, if it works, it works!

Here's what I've learned from dealing with SDI: 1. Persistence is key. Keep calling, even if it feels hopeless. 2. Document everything. Write down who you talked to, when, and what they said. 3. If possible, use their online portal to submit questions. Sometimes it's faster than phone. 4. Check your spam folder regularly. Important emails can end up there. 5. If you're really stuck, reach out to your local state representative. They can sometimes help push things along. 6. Be prepared for long wait times. Have something to do while on hold. 7. Double-check all your paperwork before submitting. One small error can cause big delays. Hope this helps someone! We're all in this together. 💪

•Great advice! I'd add: if you fax anything, always follow up with a phone call to confirm they received it.

Anyone else feel like the whole system is designed to make us give up? It's like they're hoping we'll just go away if they make it hard enough. 🙄

•100% this. It's a war of attrition and they're winning.
