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!

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

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?

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

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.

Same here

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 ?

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

I had two jobs during and before the pandemic. My second job was part time and I was only working for about 3 months before they let me go for covid. Well when I applied they keep basing my off my part time job basically with not too much accumulated. Now I’m being told my are out so I filed a new with my first job before the part time and all they did was pay me for the remaining balance on the old and I have been stuck unable to receive benefits 😩 help or any insights would be great

Your benefits are calculated from your total of wage report to by your employer. If you have wages from; 1.1st job - $2,000/month 2. 2nd job - $1,000/month will calculates your benefits 1st job wages + 2nd wages ($3,000 - NOT $1,000). selects your highest Q's W-2 total for your Weekly benefits amount. Also, if you have 1st job income, you MUST report your when you certify for benefits. Many claimants made mistakes that they can file UI for 1 job of 2 jobs. ex) You lost 2nd job and filed new claim. Your WBA $350. When you certify for benefits, you MUST report the weekly wages from 1st job. If you miss the wage report, you will get "overpayment" notice. If you are not sure, call to file new or question regarding your new claim. https://join.claimyr.com/1373f0

I filed a short term disability claim for being out with and in the claim it says pending medical provider form but I got my test through the county health department not a doctor. Does anyone have any advice or experience dealing with short term disability due to Covid?

You must provide the form B part from your doctor. Your can submit the form via online or you can it out to SDI Dept. If you have any any questions, call SDI. https://join.claimyr.com/1373f0

Been since September, I called a number I found after scrolling reddit for a while ended up getting thru and talking to someone after maybe 15min on hold, was told my will be set up around the end of this month, putting me at about 20 or 22 weeks owed, luckly before he hung up on me I was able to ask about the reason I needed to have a was since I never received any mail about it or answers in email, was told I had been claiming while I was working from 4-21 to 8-21. Completely unknown to me I questioned him with little to no response because I never claimed untill September when I refiled what I thought was a new claim, little more digging, found that my debit card has been either stolen or duplicated and has been committed on my claim, I've worked steady up untill September so I would have no reason to even think about that account or anything to do with edd, any advice how I address this situation? Thanks

Wow! If it was I would report to BOA they will issue a new card. When you go online I would go to contact us and there is a pull down for fraud. Report the and what the rep told you. Give that 2 days. Sent another note saying the same thing. Do a cut and paste. 2 days later do the same thing but under the pull down. Where is my payment. Once they start responding Call thru claimyr. Talk about all the above about the and then the back weeks. You have to be persistent and a pain in the ass. They owed me 14 weeks of backweeks. It took me 8 months to get the back weeks. During the time they were paying me back weeks I missed all the extensions. After 6 months and 8 specialist I am just starting to receive 11 weeks of the Peuc extension. They already messed up and gave me 7 so they still owe me 4 of Peuc & weeks on the other 2. It is a long road. Do not give up. As long as they owe you money you will never be broke. Specialist 4 told me I would have an and that Never Happened. They told me online that they would send me a De4800 form to set up an interview. No form or ever happened. Be sure you get the name or number of forms and know you last and your exact dates. Then tell them what they did wrong date wise. If you get someone who doesn't know what they are talking about document it on contact us
