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!

am i the only 1 who thinks its ridiculous we gotta jump through all these hoops when were already dealing with health issues? 🤔
Nope, you're not alone. The system is broken af
It's to prevent fraud. But yeah, it does make it harder for legit claims too 😕
Quick question - does anyone know how long it usually takes for them to process the medical form once it's submitted? I'm in the same boat and getting anxious about bills piling up.
2 weeks if ur lucky. Mine took over a month 😡
Ugh, that's what I was afraid of. Guess I'll be eating ramen for a while 🍜

Quick question - did you get any kind of confirmation when you submitted the medical info? Might be worth double-checking that they actually received it.
Good point! I did get an email confirmation, but maybe I should follow up to make sure it was processed correctly.

Quick question - are you applying for State Disability Insurance (SDI) or something else? The process can be different depending on what type of claim you're filing.
It's for SDI. Does that change anything about the application process?
For SDI, make sure you have the medical certification from a doctor. That's often the holdup. Also, the online system for SDI is actually pretty decent if you haven't tried it yet.

Unpopular opinion: maybe try going to your local EDD office in person? I know it's a pain, but I got my issue resolved same day when I did this.
Some offices are open for in-person help. Check the EDD website for locations near you. It's not advertised much but it's an option.
This! I did this last month and it was a game changer. Bring all your docs tho, they'll want to see everything.

Hey, former EDD employee here. This sounds like a case of crossed wires between departments. Here's what I'd recommend: 1. File an appeal anyway, just to be safe. You have 30 days from the date on the denial letter. 2. Call the disability claims line (not the general EDD line) and ask for a 'claim review' based on the conflicting letters. 3. If you sent your docs via regular mail, resend them via certified mail or fax. 4. Check your online account daily for updates. 5. If you don't see movement in a week, start escalating. Good luck!
