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'm currently experiencing this exact same thing! Got my eligibility determination approved earlier this week, but then the "wages under review" status appeared yesterday. This whole thread has been incredibly helpful - I had no idea this was such a standard part of the PA UC process. It's amazing how these status messages can cause so much anxiety when you're already stressed about finances and waiting for your first payment. Based on everyone's experiences here, it sounds like this 3-7 business day timeline for wage verification is pretty typical, which gives me hope that my situation will resolve soon too. I've been keeping up with my weekly certifications and documenting my work search activities religiously. Really appreciate everyone sharing their actual timelines and outcomes - it makes such a difference to know what's normal versus what might be a real problem with your claim!
I'm going through the exact same thing right now! Just got the "wages under review" message this morning after my eligibility was approved earlier this week. This thread has been such a relief to find - I was starting to panic that there was some new problem with my claim. It's really encouraging to see that most people here experienced the 3-7 business day timeline for this final verification step. I've also been staying current with my weekly claims and work search requirements, so hopefully I'll see the same positive outcome everyone else did. The uncertainty is definitely stressful when you're counting on these payments, but reading all these real experiences makes me feel so much more confident that this is just part of the normal process!
This is such a valuable thread for anyone going through the PA UC process! I'm currently in the same situation - just got my eligibility approved but now seeing the "wages under review" status. Reading everyone's experiences here has been incredibly reassuring. It's clear this is just a standard final verification step, not a new roadblock. The consistent 3-7 business day timeline that most people shared gives me realistic expectations instead of just worrying endlessly. I've been keeping up with my weekly certifications and work search activities while waiting. It's amazing how much stress comes from not knowing what's normal in this system - threads like this are so helpful for people navigating UC for the first time. Thanks to everyone who shared their actual experiences and timelines!
I'm so glad this thread exists too! I just started my UC claim process last week and seeing all these real experiences from people who've actually gone through it is incredibly valuable. The PA UC system can be so confusing with all these different status messages, and it's really hard to know what's normal versus what might be a problem. Reading that the "wages under review" step is actually a good sign (meaning you've passed the major hurdles) makes me feel much more prepared for when I hopefully reach that point in my claim. It's also really helpful to know about continuing the weekly certifications during the review period - I wouldn't have thought to do that without seeing everyone's advice here!

Just to add another data point - I've been on PA UC since January and use Wells Fargo for direct deposit. My payments consistently arrive on Tuesday when the payment date shows Monday, but if the payment date falls on a weekend or holiday, it can push everything back by a day or two. The key thing I learned is that UC processes payments on business days only, so if your payment date shows on a Friday, you might not see it until Tuesday of the following week depending on your bank's processing schedule. Also, pro tip: set up mobile alerts with your bank so you get notified the moment the deposit hits - saves a lot of anxious account checking!
That's super useful about the weekend/holiday delays! I hadn't thought about that. Setting up mobile alerts is brilliant - I've been obsessively checking my account every few hours which is probably not healthy lol. Since I just got my first payment, I'll definitely set those up before my next one. Thanks for the detailed breakdown of the timing patterns!
Been following this thread and wanted to share my experience as someone who's been navigating PA UC for about 6 months now. The timing really does vary by bank - I use a small local credit union and typically get my deposits on Tuesday when the payment date shows Monday. One thing I learned the hard way is to always screenshot your payment confirmation page when it updates, especially during your first few weeks. I had one payment that got "lost" in processing and having that screenshot helped when I had to call UC to track it down. Also, for anyone new to this - don't stress too much about the exact timing once you get into a routine. Your bank will be consistent, so after 2-3 payments you'll know your pattern. The first payment is always the most nerve-wracking!
Great advice about screenshotting the payment confirmations! I wish I had thought of that from the beginning. The tip about local credit unions being consistent is reassuring too. I'm still in that nervous first-payment phase but it's good to know it gets more predictable. Did you ever figure out what happened with that "lost" payment, or did UC just reprocess it once you called?

I'm so sorry you're dealing with this - the same exact thing happened to me about 6 months ago! The RESEA scheduling system is absolutely terrible. I kept getting that "no appointments available" message for almost a week, then when I finally got one scheduled, they flagged my account anyway. What worked for me was calling the CareerLink office directly (not the UC number) and asking them to document in their system that I had attempted to schedule multiple times before appointments became available. The CareerLink staff member I spoke with said this happens ALL the time and they're used to helping people with this specific issue. She was able to send a note to UC on my behalf explaining the technical difficulties. It still took about 10 days to get resolved, but I did get all my back pay once they cleared the flag. Definitely keep filing your weekly claims like others have said - that's super important! And if you can get to a CareerLink office in person like some others suggested, that seems to work even better than phone calls. This whole system is such a mess. Hang in there!
Thanks for sharing your experience! It's both reassuring and infuriating to know this is such a common issue. 10 days still feels like forever when you're waiting for benefits, but at least you got your back pay eventually. I'm definitely going to try calling the CareerLink office directly - I didn't even think about contacting them instead of UC directly. It's wild that they're so used to this problem that they have a standard process for it. Really shows how broken the system is when the workaround becomes routine! Appreciate the encouragement too, this whole situation has been such a stress nightmare.
This exact same thing happened to me last month! The RESEA scheduling system is completely broken - I spent 3 days getting that "no appointments available" error before any slots showed up. Then when I finally got scheduled, boom, they put a hold on my benefits anyway. I ended up calling my local CareerLink office (not the UC number) and explaining the situation. The staff there said they see this all the time and were able to contact UC directly to explain that their own system was having technical issues. It took about a week to get resolved, but I got all my back payments. The most frustrating part is that this is clearly a known issue with their website, but they still automatically flag accounts instead of fixing the underlying problem. Keep filing your weekly claims no matter what - you'll get those payments once they clear the flag. And definitely try the CareerLink office approach if calling UC directly doesn't work!

Has anyone tried calling the UC service center about this? I've been trying all week but just get busy signals or disconnected. My check finally came today but I'm worried about next week since I have a mortgage payment due exactly on Thursday.
I tried calling too - complete nightmare. Busy signals for hours. I finally used Claimyr.com to get through to a PA UC rep who confirmed the payment delays are temporary. If you have important bills due on specific days, you might want to call your mortgage company and explain the situation. Some are offering flexibility with unemployment recipients during this transition period. Worth asking!
I'm dealing with the exact same thing! My PA UC check used to come like clockwork every Thursday morning, but last week it showed up Friday and this week it's still not here (Friday afternoon now). Really stressing me out because I have utilities due Monday. Based on what everyone's saying here, sounds like this is happening to a lot of people due to the payment system changes. I wish they would have given us more advance notice about these delays - when you're living paycheck to paycheck, even a day or two makes a huge difference in planning. Going to keep checking my mailbox over the weekend and hope it shows up tomorrow. Thanks for posting this, at least now I know I'm not alone!

Quick update question for you - did you get your payment yet? I'm curious because processing times seem to vary a lot these days.

•Yes! Payment hit my account this morning - so it took exactly 3 business days from when I filed my weekly certification. Such a relief to finally have some income coming in while I job hunt!

That's awesome news that your payment came through so quickly! Three business days is pretty standard timing. Just wanted to add for anyone else reading this - make sure you keep filing those weekly certifications even after you start getting payments. I made the mistake of thinking I could skip a week when I was sick and it caused a whole mess with my claim that took weeks to sort out. The system is automated and doesn't care about your personal circumstances, so consistency is key. Keep up the good work with your job search and congrats again on getting through the initial hurdle!

•Thanks for that reminder about the weekly certifications! I definitely learned that lesson the hard way when I was dealing with my claim earlier this year. Missed one week thinking it wouldn't matter since I was interviewing that week, and it created a whole nightmare of phone calls and paperwork to get it straightened out. The system really is unforgiving when it comes to those deadlines. Great advice for anyone new to the process!
