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!

Hot take: the whole system is designed to be confusing and difficult on purpose. They hope people will just give up. Don't let them win! 💪

Preach! 🙌 It's all about saving money for the state, nevermind the people who actually need help.

Hey, former EDD employee here. The backlog is insane right now due to budget cuts and outdated systems. My advice: be polite but firm when you do get through. Ask for a supervisor if the first person can't help. And ALWAYS get a reference number for your call.

Is there any way to expedite the process? I'm about to lose my apartment because of these delays.

0 coins

Unfortunately, there's no official 'expedite' process. But if you're facing eviction, make sure to mention that. It can sometimes bump you up the priority list. Also, look into emergency rental assistance programs in your area.

Preach 🙌 It's 2023, this should all be doable online in like 2 clicks

Quick question - does anyone know if updating the employer contact info affects the claim in any way? Like, does it delay payments or anything?

0 coins

Nah, you're good. It's just updating contact info, shouldn't affect your payments at all. I did it last year, zero issues.

0 coins

Phew, that's a relief. Thanks for the info!

Anyone else notice that the SDI website is always "under maintenance" when you try to check your claim status online? 🙄 It's like they're allergic to technology or something.

0 coins

omg yes! I swear they do it on purpose to make us call instead. 🤔

Conspiracy theory: the website is run by hamsters on wheels and they're always on break 🐹💤

Here's a crazy idea: what if we all showed up at the SDI office in person? Like a flash mob, but for claims 😂 Maybe then they'd get their act together!

0 coins

LOL imagine the look on their faces! 👀 But for real, that might just cause more chaos.

I'm in! Let's make it happen. Who's bringing the protest signs? 😆

Has anyone tried contacting their state representative? I've heard they can sometimes help speed things up.

0 coins

how do you even find out who your state rep is?

0 coins

Just google '[your state] find my representative'. Most states have websites where you can input your address and it'll tell you.

guys. i just got off the phone with EDD after using that claimyr thing. IT ACTUALLY WORKED. im shook 😳

0 coins

No way! How long did it take?

0 coins

like 45 mins total. way better than the 3+ hours i usually waste trying to get through

Same boat here. Filed in May, still nothing. EDD's website is useless, just shows "pending" for everything. Starting to feel like I'm shouting into the void.

This is why I always tell people to have an emergency fund. You can't rely on the government to help you when you need it.

Ok boomer 🙄 Like most people can afford to save with these insane living costs

Not everyone has that luxury. Some of us live paycheck to paycheck.
