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!

If you guys are experiencing any type of and are waiting for an interview. all your including a cover letter with your account number on it to (7147363103). Call back within a day or two let them know you faxed the documents over with the hardship docus and a tier 2 should be able to clear everything up w/o an interview. If its a identity problem identity  paperwork. If it’s wage problems over your very last check. They will still ask questions but it worked for me. Got my and everything.

Good morning ugh! I'm just fed up with this whole edd/sdi system. I have applied and recieved quite a few times. Same Dr, same diagnosis,  same address same phone number. But, I was selected for ID verification.  Ok, no problem.  I mailed (snail mail) and sent certified all the address verification,  as a matter of fact I sent one of each category that they were asking for. I sent this on 2/2 . I hadn't hear anything from them. So, I got my legislation I then finally recieved an update yesterday that said I was because I failed to send in the verification.  REALLY!!! So, they not only didn't get one package, but they did get two? I took a picture of rhe envelope at the post office and I have the return receipt. This is crazy.

Leilani Gutierrez

Nichelle, I’m so sorry, that’s so annoying and frustrating. I would call again and see if they let you resubmit or send in the again since are long process. Ask to speak to a Tier 2, someone above the rep. $5 discount for first time callers using $5 discount for first time callers using Claimyr! https://join.claimyr.com/be256

I filed a on 1/6/22 and the EDD has given me a notice of computation however, I have YET to be paid and I am still on MLOA.  On 2/8/22 I actually talked to someone and they said that I needed to send in a proof of residency (which I sent) to be paid and all were being held because they have had so much fraud.  I still have not been paid at all and my still says "waiting period". I have not been able to get through to anyone there.  What is the normal time period to get checks? and what does "waiting period" mean? I haven't been paid in two months!

Mia Wilson

Leilani, when your husband received his check did they pay back from they owed him since November? Like a lump sum?

Got denied because of insufficient documents. I submitted the Voluntary Decleration of Parentage and the Verification Letter which were the only documents given by the hospital. Birth certificate was not available during the time I submitted my claim. Do I need to file an or will let me resubmit a qualifying document? I haven’t been paid in a month.

Leilani Gutierrez

Hi Arnel, I would suggest calling and seeing you they can let you resubmit documents because appeals are a hassle and take months. :/ $5 discount for first time callers using https://join.claimyr.com/be256b

Contact edd tomorrow to request to push it through again. If still not helped, contact a local assembly member involved. 20 days or 4 months seem unfair! It’s frustrating but best is still to speak with Edd to push again. https://join.claimyr.com/49a083 (First call $5 off for to call Edd) Local assembly member https://findyourrep.legislature.ca.gov/

Hey peeps, for the father's. I submitted a paid family leave claim several weeks ago and haven't seen any status updates from EDD. I received the "Notice of Computation". But nothing afterwards and I'm beyond that 14 day period EDD should have taken action. Have any other dads had similar experiences and or advice 👀?

Leilani Gutierrez

Adam, I’m glad it’s resolved- it’s always the best feeling! 🙌🏽

How do you you have to pay back pua claims? And you have to pay for money you received from edd?

Katie Lopez

If you need to repay for overpayment, will send you a letter and notice on account or you can call and speak with tier 2.  If claimant was overpaid thru no fault of their own, may offer to it, however if you feel a notice was in error, you can file an appeal. For tax, you should receive from to report you received an unemployment benefit. 1099 is a record of total taxable of and it should be reported to IRS. It is reported to Federal tax return as income. https://join.claimyr.com/49a083 (First call $5 off to call with 10 free call offer) Or call 1-800-300-5616
