Regarding services like Claimyr, they can be incredibly helpful in bridging the gap between you and EDD, especially when you're stuck in hold limbo. However, considering the cost and balancing it with the urgency of your claim is important. You should also explore the possibility of local resources or representatives who might offer free assistance. Claimyr has been positively received by many users who have successfully cut down their wait times, yet it's always advisable to exhaust other free options first if possible.

Have you tried reaching out to your local assembly member's office? They often have liaisons who can help navigate these issues with EDD. It's worth a shot!

I found a way to actually get someone on the phone. I used this site's (claimyr.com) calling tool that dials the phone menu, stays on hold, waits for a live agent to pick up, then sends the call to my phone. It does cost $20, but it works. Here's the link: https://claimyr.com

This happened to me too! turns out my doctor's fax number was wrong in their system. Double-check with your doc that they have the correct fax number for EDD. It might save you a lot of headache.

Here's what you need to do: 1. Contact your doctor's office and confirm they have the correct fax number for EDD. 2. Ask them to resend Part B of the medical certification ASAP. 3. Call EDD (I know, it's a pain) and explain the situation. Ask if they can note your account about the address change and incoming fax. 4. If possible, get a copy of Part B from your doctor and fax it yourself to EDD. 5. Keep a record of all communications - dates, times, who you spoke to. 6. Follow up with both your doctor and EDD in a few days if you haven't heard anything. Remember, persistence is key. Don't let them give you the runaround. Good luck!

Pro tip: if you can, try calling right when they open. I've had better luck getting through that way. Also, Tuesdays and Wednesdays seem to be less busy.

This might sound crazy, but have you tried sending a letter? Like, snail mail? I did that out of desperation once and it actually worked. Sometimes old school is the way to go 🐌📬

Anyone else feel like we need a support group for dealing with EDD? 😅 This stuff is stressful af

I work in healthcare and deal with EDD often. Here's a tip: make sure your doctor's office is using the most up-to-date EDD forms. They change them sometimes and it can cause delays if old forms are used.

Friendly reminder to everyone: be kind to the EDD reps when you do get through. They're dealing with a broken system too and are probably just as frustrated as we are. A little kindness goes a long way!

lol welcome to the wonderful world of bureaucracy 🤡 where nothing makes sense and everything takes forever. hope you get it sorted soon!

Ugh, I feel your pain. The whole system is a mess. I had a similar issue last year and it took me weeks to sort it out. Have you tried calling them directly? Sometimes that's the only way to get a straight answer.

Have you checked the EDD website for any updates on your claim? Sometimes they post info there before they contact you directly.

Ugh, I'm in the same boat. Been trying to get my disability claim sorted for months. The system is broken af. Hang in there, OP!
