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!

Unpopular opinion: maybe try going to the SDI office in person? I know it's a pain, but sometimes face-to-face is the only way to get things done.

•Lol good luck with that. Last time I tried, the line was out the door and around the block. 🤡
Yeah, it's not ideal, but desperate times call for desperate measures, ya know?

I heard a rumor that if you say "EDD" three times in front of a mirror at midnight, a claims specialist appears and solves all your problems. Anyone tried this yet? 👻
LOL if only it were that easy! 🤣
Carmen Vega
•If only magic were real! But in reality, persistence and documentation are our true allies.
Thanks for the responses so far. I'm wondering if anyone knows if there's a specific form I need to fill out for this situation? The EDD website is so confusing, I can't find anything clear about incapacitated patients.

•Omg I feel you. Ive been in the same boat trying to reach them for weeks. Its like they dont want us to get help 🙄

•It might help to check if there's a local EDD office you can visit in person. Sometimes face-to-face can cut through some of the red tape.

Ugh, I feel your pain. I've been dealing with this for months now. It's ridiculous how broken the system is. Have you tried reaching out to your local representative? Sometimes they can help push things along.
That's a good idea. I hadn't thought of that. How do I find out who my local rep is?
Dylan Evans
•Just google "[your state] find my representative". They usually have contact forms on their websites. Good luck!

Welcome to the club, buddy. We're all in the same boat here. I've been trying to get an update for weeks now. It's like they're purposely making it impossible to reach anyone. 🤔
Seriously, it feels like a never-ending cycle of frustration. Hang in there!

•Humor aside, it's a grim reality that needs addressing. Hopefully, we'll see improvements soon.

Can we talk about how messed up it is that we're all struggling to get basic help during a pandemic? The system is clearly broken and needs a major overhaul.
Harper Hill
•I've been saying this for months. We need to organize and demand better. Who's with me?
Caden Nguyen
•It's unfortunate how the pandemic has exposed these flaws. Collective action might indeed be necessary for change.

Pro tip: Always keep copies of EVERYTHING you send to EDD. You never know when you might need to prove you sent something.

•So true! It's a lifesaver when things go missing or get delayed.

Returning to work early might affect your benefits. You should definitely call EDD and let them know about the change in your return-to-work date. Better to be upfront than risk an overpayment issue later.

•I second this. ALWAYS report changes asap. EDD doesn't mess around with overpayments

•It might also be helpful to have your case ID or claim number handy when you call. It could speed things up.
