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!

It might help to connect with local support groups or Facebook communities that discuss EDD issues. They might have additional tips or updates on less crowded times to call.
Good idea! Sometimes sharing experiences with others in the same boat can lead to new insights.
pro tip: if u cant get thru on the main line, try calling some of the other edd numbers (like the employer line or tech support). sometimes they can help or at least transfer u to the right person
desperate times call for desperate measures my friend 🤷♂️
It's not ideal, but it's a last resort when you're stuck. Just be polite and explain your situation honestly.

Here's a comprehensive guide on how to handle your situation: 1. Document everything: Write down dates of doctor visits, conversations, and any correspondence. 2. Reach out to your doctor's office again: - Explain the urgency of your situation - Ask if there's any additional information they need - Request to speak with a supervisor if necessary 3. Contact EDD: - Prepare a clear, concise explanation of your situation - Ask about alternative documentation options - Inquire if EDD can contact your doctor directly 4. Consider alternative options: - Visit an urgent care or different doctor for a second opinion - Check if your employer's HR department can assist - Look into telemedicine options for a quick consultation 5. Know your rights: - Research your state's laws regarding medical notes for work - Consider contacting a workers' rights organization for advice Remember to stay calm and persistent. Document all your efforts. If you're still struggling, consider reaching out to your local representative for assistance with EDD. Good luck! Let us know how it goes.
This is great advice! I'd add: don't forget to follow up regularly. Sometimes squeaky wheel gets the grease 😉
Fantastic advice! I'd also add that staying organized can be key in situations like this. Keeping all documentation in one place can make things much easier.
Pro tip: Draft an email to EDD explaining your situation. Be concise but include all relevant details. Here's a template I used: Subject: Urgent Assistance Needed - Doctor's Note for Return to Work Dear EDD Representative, I'm writing to seek guidance regarding a doctor's note issue. I recently visited a doctor who is now refusing to provide a note for my return to work. This is causing delays in resuming my employment and receiving benefits. Could you please advise on: 1. Alternative documentation I can provide 2. Whether EDD can contact my doctor directly 3. Any other steps I should take Thank you for your assistance. [Your Name] [Contact Info] Hope this helps!
Great template! I'd add a line asking for a response timeframe too.
Formal communication can make a big difference, and asking for a response timeframe is a smart move.

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.

Protip: If you get through, ask them to expedite your card. They can do that, but won't unless you specifically request it. Learned that the hard way. 🙄
When I called, they were able to expedite my card, but it took me insisting on it. Don't be afraid to be firm but polite!

Ugh, this system is such a joke. I've been dealing with payment issues for MONTHS. It's like they want us to give up and stop claiming what we're owed. Stay strong, OP. Don't let them wear you down!

•It's understandable to feel frustrated, but remember there are avenues to help you advocate for your rightful payments. Keeping pressure on the system is key.

Y'all ever wonder if there's just one guy named Steve working in the EDD office, trying to process all these claims by himself? 😂 #FreeSteve

•In all seriousness, the staffing at EDD is a huge issue and it's something that really needs to be addressed for things to improve.
