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!

Here's what I would do in your situation: 1. Document everything. Keep a log of all missed payments, attempts to contact, etc. 2. Send a formal demand letter via certified mail. This creates a paper trail. 3. If they still don't respond, file a wage claim with your state's labor department. 4. Consider finding a new job if possible. An employer who can't pay on time is often in financial trouble. 5. If the amount owed is significant, consult with an employment lawyer. Remember, it's your right to be paid on time for your work. Don't let them take advantage of you!

Wow, thank you for such a detailed response! This is really helpful. I'll definitely start with the documentation and demand letter.

This is solid advice. I'd just add: make sure you're keeping track of any late fees or overdraft charges you incur because of their late payments. You might be able to claim those too.

Careful with this approach. It could backfire and make you look unprofessional. Better to handle it through official channels first.

Has anyone tried contacting their local representative about EDD issues? I've heard some people have had success going that route when they can't get anywhere with EDD directly.

Just a heads up, if you do end up having to repay, make sure you get documentation of everything. I paid mine off and then six months later they tried to say I still owed. Thank god I kept all my receipts!

It was a pain in the ass, but I eventually got it sorted. Took like a month of back and forth tho. Moral of the story: document EVERYTHING

Has anyone tried contacting their local assembly member or state senator for help? I've heard they can sometimes intervene on your behalf with EDD.

I did this last year when I had issues with my unemployment claim. It took a couple weeks, but they actually managed to resolve my problem. Definitely worth a shot!

ID.me account mixup blocking SDI registration for Paid Family Leave - Need advice!

Hey everyone, I'm in a bit of a pickle with my ID.me account and SDI registration. I accidentally created a new ID.me account using my work email, which has now locked me out of using the correct email associated with my EDD account. I'm trying to register for SDI for Paid Family Leave, but this mixup is causing issues. I've already submitted a support request to ID.me and I'm waiting for their response. Has anyone else dealt with something similar? Any advice on what I should do next while I wait for ID.me to get back to me?

Alice Fleming

Pro tip: While dealing with ID.me issues, don't forget about your SDI application deadline! You only have 49 days from the date your disability begins to file your claim. Don't let the ID.me problem make you miss out on your benefits!

Have you tried contacting EDD directly about this? Sometimes they can help with ID.me issues or provide alternative verification methods.

Yeah, getting through on the phone is a nightmare. Try their social media accounts or email if they have one. Sometimes you can get a response that way.

Have you checked if there's been any recent changes to unemployment policies? Sometimes delays happen when they update the system or change requirements.

Here's what I've learned from dealing with the benefits system for the past year: 1. Always certify as early as possible on your certification day. 2. Double-check all your answers before submitting. 3. If you don't receive payment within 3 business days, start calling. 4. Keep a log of all your attempts to contact them. 5. Use the online portal to send messages - sometimes they respond faster there. 6. If all else fails, contact your local representative or the ombudsman. Hang in there, OP. The system sucks, but persistence usually pays off eventually.

Sofia Peña

Wow, thanks for the detailed advice! I'll definitely try these steps. How long did it usually take for you to get paid after certifying?

Usually it was about 2-3 days, but there were times it took up to a week. If it goes beyond that, something's probably wrong and you should start making noise.

I've been dealing with this issue for MONTHS. Here's what I've learned: • Persistence is key. Keep calling, even if it seems hopeless. • Use the online portal as much as possible for simple issues. • Document everything. Write down who you talked to, when, and what they said. • If you get through, ask for a direct number or extension for follow-ups. • Consider reaching out to your local representative. They can sometimes help. • Be polite to the agents when you do get through. They're overwhelmed too. • If all else fails, that Claimyr service others mentioned might be worth a shot. Stay strong, everyone. We're all in this together!
