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!

This happened to me last year! It's such a pain. Make sure you emphasize to EDD that you're reapplying for PFL after your disability claim ended. They should have a process for this, but sometimes the reps don't know about it. Ask to speak to a supervisor if the first person you talk to seems confused.

Have you tried contacting your local assembly member's office? They can sometimes help push things through faster.

Quick question - does anyone know if EDD is still offering those pandemic extensions? Or are we back to regular benefits only?

0 coins

Pretty sure all the pandemic stuff ended last year. We're back to the regular system now, for better or worse 🤷‍♂️

Have you considered reaching out to your local state representative? Sometimes they can help push things along when you're dealing with state agencies.

Just google '[your area] state representative' and you should find their office contact info. Usually they have staff dedicated to helping constituents with these kinds of issues.

Awesome, thanks! I'll give that a shot if I can't resolve it directly with the agency.

Quick, everyone burn some sage to fix the disability insurance system! 🕯️

Here's a comprehensive guide to navigating the disability insurance claim process: • Gather all medical records before filing • Submit claim as soon as possible • Keep copies of EVERYTHING you send • Follow up regularly (weekly is good) • If denied, don't give up - appeal! • Consider getting a lawyer if it drags on Remember, persistence is key. Don't let them wear you down. You've paid into this system, and you deserve the benefits when you need them. Stay strong!

Here's what worked for me when I got locked out: 1. Clear your browser cache and cookies 2. Try logging in from a different device (I used my phone instead of computer) 3. If that doesn't work, email their tech support. They usually respond within 48 hours 4. As a last resort, send a written request by mail to unlock your account Hope this helps! Let us know if you get it sorted.
