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!

Has anyone tried reaching out to their state representative? I've heard that can sometimes help speed things up.

Anyone else feel like we're living in a kafka novel? Like, we're just chasing our tails trying to get basic info about OUR OWN BENEFITS. It's maddening.

0 coins

Lol for real. Sometimes I wonder if there even is a 'live representative' or if it's just a myth to keep us calling 🤣

Kafka? More like a clown show 🤡 We're all just honking our little horns hoping someone notices

Hey OP, what kind of update are you trying to get? Sometimes there are specific numbers for different issues that might be easier to get through on.

0 coins

I need to update my mailing address and ask about a payment that seems to be missing. Do you know if there's a specific line for that?

0 coins

For address changes, you might be able to do that online. For the missing payment, yeah, you'll probably need to talk to someone. Keep trying the main line, and good luck!

Have you tried faxing it? Sometimes that's faster than mail and they might accept it.

0 coins

Faxing? What year is it? 😂 But seriously, I'll look into that. Thanks!

idk if this helps, but when I was in a similar sitch, I went to my local office in person. It was a pain, but I got it sorted same day.

lol good luck. SDI is where claims go to die. I'm convinced they just ignore us and hope we'll go away 🤡

Sad but true. The system is totally broken.

Has anyone had luck with the SDI mobile app? I heard they launched one recently but idk if it's any good.

I tried it. It's okay for checking status, but still can't get ahold of a real person through it. Better than nothing I guess 🤷‍♂️

Has anyone tried those disability claim services that help with appeals? Are they worth it or just a waste of money?

0 coins

I used one and it was hit or miss. They helped with paperwork but weren't miracle workers. Still lost my first appeal.

0 coins

Depends on the service. Some are great, others are scams. Do your research before paying anyone!

Protip: Keep a detailed log of all your symptoms, doctor visits, and how your condition affects your daily life. It can really strengthen your case!
