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!

Quick question - when did you submit your application? That might help us give you a better idea of when to expect your next payment.

I submitted it about 3 weeks ago. Still waiting to hear back...

Hmm, you should be hearing back any day now then. Hang in there!

Oof, sounds like your in the same boat as me. I've been dealing with an overpayment issue for months now. It's a total nightmare 😫

This is why we need better paternity leave policies in this country. Other nations have it figured out, why can't we?

0 coins

Yeah but who's gonna pay for it? Our taxes are already too high

Maybe if we stopped spending so much on [redacted political topic], we could afford proper benefits for families 🤷‍♂️

Ive been in the same boat. its frustrating af. Make sure you document EVERYTHING. Every call, every person you talk to. You might need it if you have to appeal.

Have you checked their website? Sometimes you can upload documents directly there instead of waiting on the phone.

I tried, but the system kept giving me an error. That's why I need to talk to someone directly.

Ugh, classic SDI. Their website is always buggy. Guess you're stuck with the phone then. Good luck!

Preach! 🙌 It's like they're stuck in the stone age or somethin

To be fair, they're dealing with millions of accounts and trying to prevent fraud. But yeah, it could definitely be more user-friendly.

Quick question - are you sure you're using the right website? There are some scam sites out there that look legit but are just trying to steal your info.

0 coins

Yeah, I double-checked and I'm definitely on the official EDD site. Good looking out though!
