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!

have u tried faxing them? I know it sounds old school but I've heard it can work sometimes lol
What year is it? 1995? 😂 But for real, if it works, it works!

Has anyone tried faxing their documents? I heard from a friend that sometimes that gets faster results than mailing or uploading online.
Faxing? What year is it, 1995? 😂
Laugh all you want, but sometimes old school methods work best with these outdated government systems!

Oof, sounds like you're really in the weeds with this one. SDI can be a real clown show sometimes 🤡 Hang in there, OP!
Not sure if this helps, but there are some non-profits that offer financial assistance for people waiting on disability benefits. Might be worth looking into to bridge the gap.
I didn't know about that. Do you know any specific organizations I could check out?
Try searching for 'disability bridge grants' in your area. Also, some condition-specific orgs (like cancer societies) offer help too. Good luck!

Here's what I've learned from my own payment delay saga: 1. Document everything. Keep a log of when you submitted docs, who you talked to, and what they said. 2. Be persistent. Call regularly (use that Claimyr thing if you need to). 3. Check your online account daily for updates. 4. If possible, submit documents multiple ways (online, fax, mail) to cover all bases. 5. Reach out to your local representative if it's been more than 6 weeks. 6. Join Facebook groups or forums for real-time updates from others in the same boat. 7. Don't give up! It's frustrating, but your payment will come eventually. Hang in there, OP. We're all in this together. 💪
Wow, thank you so much for this detailed advice! I'm definitely going to start keeping better records. You're awesome for sharing all this!
This should be pinned at the top of the subreddit. So helpful!

Has anyone else noticed that the EDD website is always "undergoing maintenance" when you actually need to use it? It's like they're trolling us at this point.
