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!

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.

OMG I'm in the exact same boat!!! applied 2 months ago and crickets 🦗 This whole system is a joke. Solidarity, friend 💪

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? 😡

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.

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!

idk if this helps but I had luck reaching out on Twitter. Sometimes they respond faster there than through official channels 🤷‍♀️

Really? What's their handle?

@AskEDD for California. Other states might have different ones.

Anyone else notice that these issues seem to happen more often at the end of the quarter? I wonder if it's because theyre processing a bunch of new claims or something.

0 coins

Yooo I thought I was the only one who noticed this! You might be onto something 🤔

OP, make sure you're not hitting your benefit cap. I freaked out when my payment didn't come, but it turned out I had just reached the maximum benefit amount. Check your total claim balance!

0 coins

Oh man, I didn't even think of that. I'll definitely check. Thanks for the tip!
