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!

This happened to me last year. Turns out they needed additional info but never notified me. Def try to get ahold of someone ASAP
Oh no, that's what I'm worried about. How did you finally get it resolved?
I had to go back to the office and wait for hours, but eventually got it sorted. Bring ALL your docs just in case!

I swear the EDD is running on Windows 95 or something. How hard is it to process a simple extension? 🤦♂️
Windows 95? You're giving them too much credit. Pretty sure it's all done by carrier pigeon 🐦
lmaooo 🤣 carrier pigeon would probably be faster tbh

SDI is the worst! I swear they make it difficult on purpose to discourage people from claiming. Solidarity, OP. Don't give up!
Hey, former EDD employee here. While I can't comment on your specific case, I can give some general advice: 1. Make sure all your medical documentation is up to date and clearly states your limitations. 2. If you haven't already, file for a SDI appeal. This can sometimes speed up the process. 3. Be persistent but polite when dealing with staff. We're overworked and understaffed, but we do want to help. 4. If you're really stuck, consider contacting your state representative. They can sometimes cut through red tape. Good luck!
Thank you so much for the insider perspective! I'll definitely look into filing an appeal. Do you know how long that process typically takes?
Appeal times can vary widely, but generally it takes about 30-60 days. However, sometimes just filing the appeal can prompt them to take another look at your case and resolve it faster.

pro tip: if u can get thru to anyone on the phone, be super nice to them. theyre probably stressed af too. i was polite and the lady went above and beyond to help me
This! 👆 Kindness goes a long way. They're dealing with angry people all day.

Have you tried faxing the request directly to your doctor's office? Sometimes that can speed things up. Just make sure to follow up with EDD to confirm they'll accept it that way.

•I hadn't thought of that! I'll give it a shot if I can't get through on the phone. Thanks for the suggestion!

Honestly, at this point, I'm convinced carrier pigeons would be more efficient than the EDD's system 🐦📬 Maybe we should suggest that for their next upgrade lol
