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 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.

What year is it, 1995? 😂 But for real, if it works, it works!

lol watch them say they 'lost' your paperwork. happened to me and I had to start the whole process over again 🙃
Hang in there, OP! The waiting game sucks but your payment will come eventually. Just keep following up and don't let them forget about you!

•Thanks for the encouragement! It's been tough but I'm trying to stay positive.

Has anyone heard about the new bill they're considering that might affect extensions? I saw something on the news but couldn't find much info online.
I think I know what youre talking about. Its still in committee tho, so nothing concrete yet. Fingers crossed it helps us out! 🤞
Omar Mahmoud
pro tip: document EVERYTHING. every call, every letter, every email. you never know when youll need to prove you did something or they said something. saved my butt more than once!
Sean O'Brien
Hey OP, have you checked if there's any missing information on your claim? Sometimes they don't tell you if something's incomplete and it just sits there. Might be worth double-checking everything.
