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!

Payment issues with unemployment - anyone else experiencing delays?

Hey everyone, I'm having some issues with my payment and I'm not sure what's going on. Has anyone else experienced delays or problems with their payments recently? I'm getting a bit worried and could use some advice on what to do next.

Ravi Sharma

Not to be that guy, but are you sure you're still eligible? They've been cracking down lately and cutting people off without much notice. Might be worth double-checking all the requirements.

This whole system is broken af. We shouldn't have to jump through hoops to get the money we're entitled to. Time for a complete overhaul if you ask me. 😤

For starters, they could invest in better technology. Half the problems seem to be from outdated systems. And maybe hire enough staff to actually answer the phones? Just spitballing here lol

Hey everyone, I'm getting really worried about my benefit payment. It's been a week since I was supposed to receive it, and I'm starting to feel the financial strain. Has anyone else experienced delays lately? Any advice on how to check the status or speed things up? I'm not sure how much longer I can manage without this payment.

Talk to your landlord ASAP. Some are willing to work with you if you explain the situation. Also, check if there are any local rent assistance programs in your area.

PSA: Make sure you're still certifying every two weeks, even if you haven't received payment yet. I made that mistake and it caused even more delays.

Just a heads up, make sure you have your claim number and social security number handy when you call or log in. They always ask for those and it's a pain if you don't have them ready.

Finally got through to a rep and resolved my issue! Anyone else have recent success?

Hey everyone, I just wanted to share that I finally got through to a representative and cleared up my issue! It's such a relief. They said they'll take me off the call list now. Has anyone else had success recently?

Jamal Thompson

For anyone still struggling to get through, here's what worked for me: 1. Call right when they open in the morning 2. If you get a busy signal, hang up and immediately redial 3. Have all your info ready (SSN, claim number, etc.) 4. Be persistent and don't give up It took me about 2 weeks of trying, but I finally got through. Good luck everyone!

I think they stopped doing those. Too many people requesting callbacks and not enough staff to handle them all. Your best bet is to keep calling.

EDD Payment Delayed 3+ Weeks After Doctor's Supplemental Certification - What to Do?

Hey everyone, I'm in a bit of a pickle here. It's been over three weeks since I last got a payment from EDD. I've submitted all the paperwork I can think of, including a supplemental certification from my doctor on December 3rd. I'm starting to worry that something's gone wrong. Has anyone else experienced this kind of delay? Any advice on what I should do next?

SDI system not showing new claim info - How long does it take?

Hey everyone, I'm having an issue with the SDI system. I filed a new claim recently, but the information isn't showing up in the system. Has anyone else experienced this? I'm worried because I got a confirmation, but when I log in, there's nothing there. How long does it usually take for new claims to appear? Any advice would be appreciated!

Ava Rodriguez

Pro tip: Take screenshots of everything when you file. I learned this the hard way when my claim "disappeared" and I had no proof. Better safe than sorry!
