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 deposited $488 but it's missing, surgeon can't submit docs online, might have to cancel surgery due to low payments. Help!

I got a notice from SDI saying they deposited $488, but it never showed up in my account. They're only paying me under $1k a month, which isn't enough to live on, so I might have to cancel my surgery. My ortho surgeon can only mail docs to SDI cause he lost his password. I'm not sure if I should mail the letter or if the doctor needs to do it. Anyone know if there are specific forms we need to fill out for this?

Connor O'Neill

have u tried faxing the docs instead? sometimes that works better than mail

EDD Disability Application: 'Termination' or 'Injury/Illness' for Depression/Anxiety?

Hey everyone, I'm filling out a disability application and I'm stuck on a question. I stopped working because of my depression and anxiety, which led to me getting fired. Should I put 'termination' or 'injury/illness' as the reason I'm not working? I'm leaning towards injury/illness but I'm not sure. Any advice?

Victoria Scott

Pro tip: When you fill out the form, be very specific about how your condition affects your ability to work. Don't just say 'depression and anxiety' - explain the symptoms and how they impact your job performance.

EDD login nightmare: ID.me email change impossible, SDI checks MIA since August. Help!

Hey everyone, I'm having a nightmare with EDD and ID.me. I can't log in online because of ID.me issues. I need to change my email, but it won't let me create a new one since I already have an account. The problem is, I can't access my old email because it was hacked. Now I'm stuck - I haven't received an SDI check since August and I need to sign some forms. Anyone else dealing with this mess? Any advice on how to get through to someone who can actually help?

Mateo Martinez

Hey OP, quick question - have you tried using a different browser or clearing your cache? Sometimes ID.me acts up because of browser issues.

EDD Payment Delayed After Required Doctor Visit - Need Advice

Hey everyone, I'm in a bit of a pickle here. I haven't received my payment since early October, and I'm getting worried. I had to see their referred doctor on October 10th, and now it seems like my payment is delayed because of that. Has anyone else experienced this? Any advice on how to follow up or what to expect? I'm not sure if I should just wait it out or if there's something I can do to speed things up.

StarStrider

I had a similar issue last year. Turns out there was a glitch in their system and my doctor's report wasn't properly logged. Might be worth asking if they actually received the report from your doctor visit.

EDD SDI claim issues: Wrong department transfer, need advice on reaching correct agents

SDI payment approval delays after certification - anyone else experiencing this?

Anyone else having issues with SDI payment approval delays? I just certified last night and I'm worried they'll take forever to approve my payment for no reason. This has happened before and it's so frustrating. How long does it usually take for you guys to get your payments approved after certifying?

Anastasia Fedorov

Unpopular opinion: maybe we should cut SDI some slack? They're probably understaffed and overworked dealing with all our claims. Just a thought. 🤷‍♀️

Anyone else having issues with disability payments? I submit my certification but sometimes I have to call them weeks later to get it approved. It's frustrating because I need that money to pay bills. What are your experiences with this process?

Anyone else dealing with crazy delays on their benefit claim? I've been waiting for weeks now and still nothing. Starting to get really worried about bills piling up. Called the office but can't get through to a real person. Any advice on how to speed things up or at least find out what's going on?

EDD won't let me certify for benefits - system glitch?

Just a heads up, make sure your healthcare provider is ready to fill out the form quickly once you get it. Mine took forever and it almost messed up my extension. 😓
