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!

Plot twist: EDD actually received your docs, but they're using them as coffee coasters. Seriously though, their backlog is insane rn. Hang tight!

•LOL 😂 I wouldn't even be surprised at this point

Hey, former EDD employee here. The verification process can take up to 10 weeks, especially if they're backlogged. My advice: keep checking your UI Online account, and if you haven't heard anything by week 8, start calling or contact your local assemblyperson for help.
10 WEEKS?! That's insane. How are people supposed to survive that long without benefits? 😡
Keisha Brown
•I know, it's frustrating. The system wasn't designed to handle this volume. That's why I always recommend reaching out to local reps if it goes too long.

Oof, appeals are the worst. Make sure you respond within the deadline they give you, even if you don't have all the info yet. You can always submit more stuff later, but missing that initial deadline can sink your whole case.
Thanks for the tip! I'll make sure to get something in ASAP.
Not to be that guy, but have you considered looking for work that accommodates your disability? I know its not always possible, but sometimes theres options out there we dont know about. Just a thought!
Bruh, read the room. OP is trying to keep their benefits, not get a lecture 🙄
Whoa, chill. I'm just trying to offer another perspective. No need to get defensive.

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. 💪

•This is gold! Thanks for sharing your experience. Wish I had known all this when I started my claim.
Amara Eze
•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.

Have you checked your online account? Sometimes the status updates there before you actually get the money.
Raj Gupta
•Yeah, I've been checking it obsessively. Still says 'pending' 😕
Amina Diallo
•Oof, that sucks. Hang in there, OP. It'll come through eventually.

Pro tip: contact your local state representative's office. They can sometimes help expedite claims. Worked for me when I was stuck in limbo for months.
How do you even find out who your local rep is?
GamerGirl99
•Just google '[your city] state representative'. Should pop right up!
QuantumQuasar
anyone else notice how they always seem to 'lose' the paperwork when it's time to pay out? but they never lose the info when it's time for us to pay them 🙄

Hey OP, how long has it been since you sent in your paperwork? There's usually a processing time of a few weeks.
