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!

I had this issue last year. Turns out my card was stolen from my mailbox. You might want to check if it was actually sent and possibly intercepted. If so, you'll need to report it to BoA and EDD asap.

Oh no, I hadn't even thought of that possibility. Thanks for the heads up, I'll definitely look into this!

Have you checked if your claim is still active? Sometimes they close it without notifying you and you have to reopen it. Happened to me and I lost out on weeks of payments 😭

Oh no, that sounds awful! I'll definitely check on that. Thanks for the heads up!

Unpopular opinion: maybe try going to an EDD office in person? I know it's a pain, but sometimes face-to-face is the only way to get answers.

Do they even allow walk-ins anymore? I thought everything was appointment only now.

Some offices do limited walk-ins. Worth checking their website for your local office's policy.

This whole situation is so messed up. We're already dealing with health issues, and now we gotta fight just to get the benefits we're entitled to? The system is broken, man. 😤

Preach! 🙌 It's like they want us to give up and just suffer in silence.

Fr fr. We need to organize and demand change. This isn't right.

Here's what I've learned from my experience with SDI: 1. Be persistent. Call every day if you have to. 2. Keep a log of all your calls and who you spoke to. 3. Make sure all your medical documentation is up to date and submitted. 4. Check your online account regularly for updates. 5. If you're really stuck, consider reaching out to your state representative or even local media. 6. Join Facebook groups or forums dedicated to SDI issues. Sometimes you can get insider tips. 7. If you can afford it, that Claimyr service others mentioned might be worth a shot. Remember, you're entitled to these benefits. Don't give up! It's a frustrating process, but stay strong. 💪

What year is it? 1995? 😂 But for real, if it works, it works!

Unpopular opinion: maybe we should all just camp outside the EDD office until they help us. Who's with me? ⛺️✊
