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!

One thing that might help - check your portal to see if your appeal is listed in the "Determinations & Issue Status" section. If it shows the appeal as decided in your favor there, but your weekly claims still show as disqualified, that's normal during processing. If the appeal decision isn't showing up in that section at all yet, that might indicate the referee's decision hasn't been entered into the system.
Good point - I just checked and it does show the appeal as "Allowed" under Determinations, but weekly claims still show disqualified. I guess that means it's in the system but waiting for processing. I'll update when something changes!
That's a good sign that your appeal shows as "Allowed" in the system! I went through the exact same thing last summer - won my appeal but had to wait 19 days for the weekly claims to flip from disqualified to paid. The most frustrating part is there's literally nothing you can do except wait once it's in their processing queue. I called every other day and got the same "2-4 weeks" response each time. Just keep filing your weekly claims like others said - when it finally processes you'll get a lump sum for all the back weeks. Hang in there, it WILL happen eventually even though the wait is brutal when you're struggling financially.
19 days is actually not too bad compared to some of the horror stories I'm hearing! Thanks for the reassurance that it will eventually happen. The lump sum payment will definitely help catch up on everything. Did you have any issues with the back payments when they finally came through, or did everything calculate correctly?

UPDATE: The money just hit my card this morning! That's about 3 business days from the payment date. Thanks everyone for your help!
That's awesome news! So glad you finally got your payment after all that waiting. For future reference, the 3 business day timeline seems pretty standard for Money Network cards. Just a heads up - since you mentioned you've been surviving on credit cards, make sure to keep track of all your UC payments for tax purposes. The state will send you a 1099-G form, but it's good to have your own records too. Hope things get easier for you from here on out!
Great advice about keeping records! @5f89e3d0144a I'd also recommend setting up direct deposit to your bank account if you haven't already - it's usually faster than the Money Network card and you won't have to worry about any potential card fees. You can usually set this up through the PA UC portal. After waiting since August, you definitely deserve to have the smoothest process possible going forward!

UPDATE: I managed to get through to PA UC this morning after trying that Claimyr service! The rep confirmed my employment history was actually there in the system but wasn't properly linked to my new claim. She fixed it on the spot and said my payments should process within 2-3 business days. She also confirmed I should keep filing weekly claims while waiting. Such a relief! Thanks everyone for your help!
EXACTLY what happened to me!! So glad you got it resolved! The system is so broken that it takes a human to do something that should be automatic!
congrats! make sure u keep track of which weeks u claimed and when the payments come in. sometimes they miss a week and u have to call back.
Great to see this got resolved! For anyone else dealing with the same "no employment history" issue after BYE date, here's what I learned from my experience: 1. The system glitch is SUPER common - your employment data is usually there but not properly linked 2. You absolutely need to talk to a human rep to fix it 3. Keep filing weekly claims no matter what while you wait 4. Have your W-2s and pay stubs ready when you call, even though they probably won't need them I waited 4 weeks thinking it would auto-resolve and it never did. Got through on my first try using that callback service someone mentioned and the rep literally fixed it in under 10 minutes. Don't make my mistake of waiting too long to call!
This is so helpful! I'm dealing with this exact same issue right now - just hit my BYE date last week and got the "no employment history" flag even though I worked all of 2024. It's reassuring to know that the data is probably already in their system and just needs to be linked properly. I've been hesitant to use a callback service but after reading all these success stories I think I need to bite the bullet. Did you have to pay anything for the service or was it free?

Thanks for sharing your timeline! This helps me have realistic expectations. I'll watch my mail carefully - good point about it looking like junk mail with no UC markings.
I just went through this exact situation last month! My payment date showed 12/15/2024 and I was checking my mailbox obsessively every day. The card finally arrived on 12/27 - so about 12 calendar days later. What really helped ease my anxiety was knowing that once the payment date appears in your UC dashboard, the money is essentially "set aside" for you. Even if the card gets lost in the mail or delayed, those funds won't disappear. When I called PA UC (took forever to get through), they confirmed that all payments from your claim start date will be loaded onto the card when it arrives. The waiting is definitely nerve-wracking, especially with bills due, but try to hang in there. Your money is secure! And like others mentioned, keep an eye out for that plain white envelope - I almost threw mine away thinking it was a credit card offer.
This is so reassuring to hear! I've been checking my mailbox like a maniac since seeing my payment date, so knowing that 12 days is pretty normal helps calm my nerves. The fact that you confirmed with PA UC that the funds are "set aside" is exactly what I needed to hear - I was worried the money would somehow vanish if the card got lost. Thanks for sharing your timeline and for the reminder about the plain envelope. I'll definitely be more careful not to toss anything that looks like junk mail!

•Great timing! My payment status just changed to "paid" for all 6 weeks this morning! The payment date shows tomorrow, so hopefully the money will be on my card then. Thanks everyone for the help and advice - made this stressful situation much easier to navigate.
