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!

SDI online registration error: system can't validate driver's license/DOB info. Help!

I'm having trouble registering for SDI online. I'm on maternity leave and need to apply, but the system keeps giving me an error message saying it can't validate my information. It says my driver's license or date of birth is incorrect, but I've double-checked everything and it matches my DMV records. Has anyone else run into this issue? Any advice on how to get past this and successfully register?

am i the only 1 who thinks its crazy we have to jump through all these hoops just to get benefits we've paid into? smh

You're not alone. The system seems designed to discourage people from claiming their benefits. It's messed up.

EDD payment still not processed after submitting all requested documents. Help!

Hey everyone, I'm at my wits end here. I've sent in all the documents they asked for but my payment still hasn't been processed. It's been weeks now and I'm starting to worry. Has anyone else dealt with this? Any advice on how to speed things up?

Charity Cohan

Here's what worked for me: 1. Double-check all your documents. Make sure nothing's missing or expired. 2. If you haven't already, upload everything to your online account. 3. Write a detailed message in your account explaining your situation. 4. Call first thing in the morning, every day if you have to. 5. If you get through, ask for a supervisor if the first person can't help. 6. Keep a log of all your calls and who you spoke to. 7. As a last resort, contact your local representative. They can sometimes expedite things. Hang in there, OP. It's a frustrating process, but persistence pays off!

Knee replacement recovery while working as a cook - need advice!

Hey everyone, I recently had a knee replacement surgery and I'm wondering how to handle work during recovery. I work as a cook at a nursing home, but it's gonna take a year to fully heal. Any advice on how to manage this situation? I really want to get back to work, but I'm not sure how to balance that with my recovery.

I didn't say it would fix it overnight! But gentle stretching can help with flexibility and circulation during recovery. Always consult your doctor first, of course.

EDD Disability claim filed 3 months ago still pending - no one answers when they call back. Help!

I've been trying to check the status of my disability claim for months now. Filed it by mail and it's been nothing but problems for the last 3 months. Anyone else dealing with this? I finally got through on the phone but there was no one on the line when I answered. So frustrating!

Missing paycheck for 3 days, no notifications. What to do?

Hey everyone, I'm in a bit of a pickle here. It's been 3 days since my last paycheck was supposed to come through, and I still haven't seen it hit my account. No notifications, no explanations, nothing. Has anyone else experienced this? What should I do? I'm starting to get worried because bills are coming up and I was counting on that money.

EDD SDI claim extension submitted a month ago still not processed, can't certify or reach anyone - HELP!

I'm so frustrated with the EDD SDI system right now. My doctor submitted a payment for an extension of my SDI claim over a month ago, but it still hasn't been processed. I've tried calling EDD countless times, but I can never get through. To make matters worse, my EDD account is telling me to certify to continue payments, but there's no option to do so! Has anyone else dealt with this? Any advice on how to actually reach a human being at EDD?

Lia Quinn

Not to be that guy, but have you double-checked that you're eligible for an extension? Sometimes the system glitches and tells you to certify when you're not actually eligible. Might be worth reviewing the SDI extension requirements just to be sure.

Tasia Synder

That's a good point. I'm pretty sure I am eligible based on what my doctor said, but I'll definitely double-check. Thanks!

EDD Payment Authorized Oct 31, Sent Sunday, Still Not Received - Normal?

Hey everyone, I'm having an issue with a payment that was authorized on October 31st but wasn't sent until Sunday. Has anyone else experienced delays like this? I'm still waiting for it to show up in my account and I'm getting a bit worried. Any advice on what I should do or how long I should wait before contacting someone?

Have you checked your payment status online? Sometimes it updates there before the money actually hits your account.

Log into your account on the official website and look for something like 'Payment History' or 'Claim Status'. It should show you the status of recent payments.
