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!

Good morning Tina, I remembered you asking here about your mistake putting a wrong amount for claim, right? Have you had fix those mistakes over the phone? I assume that’s why you receive 1 payment. Just wanted to see everything goes well.

What does this mean? Ive been filing to since October 2021.

Jung Jung

If you do not have enough W-2 Income on the period, you are not able to collect the backdates. If you have received the WBA determination letter, check if you have any income on all quarters. You might have only partial quarters of income. https://join.claimyr.com/1373f0

Has anyone every had two interviews a month apart and is awaiting for pay. My job my return to work date for a month and now gave me a second and I’m not sure why

Katie Lopez

I have two interviews after I first applied to see my and then during a after backdate request, flagged my account and required an another interview. I know it’s frustrating but if they require, you need to do and you will be fine unless there’s no issue. 😀$5 discount link for to https://join.claimyr.com/49a083

I’m having trouble getting automatic payments from SDI, they told me that they were having an 3 weeks ago and will pay me on Jan 18 but I haven’t got any issued payments and it’s been over a month. Anybody have the same issue?

Jung Jung

Most of people have same issue. EDD temporarily stop payment due to over 345K claims. EDD will require all doctors to verify their ID via ID.me. It may takes over a month again. https://join.claimyr.com/1373f0

Finally was connected with a live agent on the phone.  I was told that the entire program for is under review due to "fraud". A form, I was told, will be sent out to me and it could take another month to process.  Real nice of them since they are already a month late paying my claim.   They will not allow a person to anything online.  He said "This wasn't personal  we have over 300,000 claims we are and we are questioning Dr's.   I informed this very medically knowledgeable guy that if a person has a broken ankle, they can't walk.  Again he said this wasn't personal.  They did not pull me out because of a single audit....they are doing this to everyone.   I told him my and is due and I would like a letter of explanation.  He said they won't do that.  He said there were worse people off they are homeless.  Nice response from a petty bureaucrat!!   I've put up with too much crap like everyone else seems to be over the last 2 years.  Im an RN. 👏

Not everyone needs to have the interview. If you have sufficient W-2 Income, you may be waived it. Check your history (Claim History) status if it is changed to "Paid" or "Pending" or "Not Paid".

I applied for state last month as I was having a baby. Since then I have not heard anything back from outside of a “notice of computation” and that was well over 5 weeks ago; no notice of pay, no denial, nothing. My claim is under “active claims” and not “pending claims”. I have had no luck calling and very lost at this point as my “pregnancy leave window” is pretty much halfway done. Is it still worth calling? Should I just file for paid Family leave? Help.

I called them yesterday using and got thru. They told me they had just sent out a form to me () to verify i was really me. I believe the hold up really has to do with the recent fraud bust. I read an article yesterday that stated a lot of and pays and claims we’re placed on hold as of 12/21/21 due to fraud concerns.

What do I do if the ID me says my doesn’t match. And I don’t have a ID and I had to use my passport ?

Jung Jung

You may use "Video Call" for your verification. Be prepared the documents; 1. Social Security Card 2. or Insurance card that shows your name and correct 3. US Passport. If you still have issues on ID.me, you may send the to vis USPS. Ask if you can upload your ID online. https://join.claimyr.com/1373f0
