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?

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?
Just google "[your state] find my representative". They usually have contact forms on their websites. Good luck!

Pro tip: go to the office in person if you can. Sometimes face-to-face is the only way to get answers. Bring all your paperwork and don't leave until they give you an update.
This. I wasted weeks trying to do everything online and over the phone. One trip to the office and I had answers in an hour.
I tried going in person, but my local office was really backed up. They couldn't see me without an appointment.
Welcome to the club, buddy. I've been waiting for weeks after turning in my stuff. It's like they have a black hole where all our paperwork goes to die. 🕳️
Months?! Oh man, I hope it doesn't take that long. This is ridiculous.
I feel you. I don't know if it's because they're understaffed or what, but the waiting is unbearable.

idk if this helps, but I was in the same boat last month. took about 10 days for my payment to come through after recertification. hang in there!
Thanks for sharing your experience. It's good to know there's a light at the end of the tunnel.

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? 👻

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.

•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.
