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!

Pro tip: set an alarm on your phone to remind you to certify every two weeks. I kept forgetting and it messed up my payments. Learn from my mistakes lol
GalaxyGlider
•That's a solid tip! Also, keeping a digital calendar helps to keep track of all important dates related to SDI.
Has anyone else noticed that the questions on the certification form have changed recently? I swear they added some new ones and it's confusing af
Don't worry too much. Just read carefully and answer honestly. If you're unsure, call and ask for clarification.
Keeping an eye on official EDD updates can also provide clarity on changes to certifications.

I heard they're updating the system soon. Maybe wait a few days and see if it fixes itself?
That might be a good move. Sometimes updates can cause temporary hiccups that resolve on their own.
have u tried checkin ur online account? sometimes they update stuff there w/o sendin an email
Sean Doyle
•Yeah, I've been checking it obsessively. Still no change 😔

Has anyone tried contacting their local representative about these issues? I've heard sometimes they can help push things through.
I did! My state senator's office was actually super helpful. Might be worth a shot.
Tried that. They just sent me back to EDD. Waste of time imho.

Here's what you need to know about disability insurance payments: 1. Eligibility: Make sure you meet all the requirements. This includes having a qualifying disability and having paid into State Disability Insurance (SDI) through your paychecks. 2. Documentation: Have all your medical docs ready. They'll want proof from your doctor about your condition. 3. Timeline: Payments usually start within 14 days of your claim being approved, but it can take longer if there are issues with your application. 4. Amount: The benefit amount is about 60-70% of your wages earned 5 to 18 months before your claim start date. 5. Duration: You can receive benefits for up to 52 weeks, depending on your condition. Hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.
Wow, thanks for all the info! This is really helpful. Do you work for EDD or something?
Emily Sanjay
•Nah, just been through the wringer with them a few times. You learn the ropes after a while 😅

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.
Aria Park
•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?

Anyone else notice how the EDD website always seems to be down for maintenance when you actually need to use it? 🙄

•Absolutely true. The timing is always so inconvenient, right when you need to access something important.
