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 got backpay and it took 4 days but my cousing got his in like 2 weeks so i think its just random how fast they do it lol
Just checking in - any updates? Has your payment status changed or have you received your backpay yet?
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.

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!

I'm so sorry you're going through this stress - the uncertainty is the worst part! Based on everyone's advice here, it sounds like you have a really strong case for your appeal. That reorganization letter mentioning 12 positions is gold - it clearly shows this was a legitimate layoff, not misconduct. I've been reading through unemployment forums for months while dealing with my own claim issues, and the pattern everyone's describing (approval then quick disqualification due to employer reporting errors) is unfortunately super common with large employers like hospitals. Their HR systems often default to coding terminations as "discharge" even when it's actually a layoff. The good news is these cases usually get resolved favorably once a human reviews the actual evidence. File that appeal ASAP with all your documentation, keep certifying weekly, and try not to panic - you're going to get through this!

•Thank you Louisa - this whole thread has been such a lifeline for me! I was honestly spiraling when I first got that disqualification email, but hearing from so many people who've been through similar situations and came out okay is giving me the strength to fight this. I never realized how common these employer reporting errors are, especially with large organizations. It makes perfect sense that a hospital's HR system would automatically code things wrong. I'm already gathering all my documents and screenshots to file the appeal today. Knowing that others have successfully challenged these kinds of mistakes makes me feel so much more confident. This community support means everything right now!

I'm new to this community but wanted to share what happened to me recently since it sounds so similar to your situation! I got laid off from my job at a manufacturing plant in January due to "economic restructuring" (they eliminated our entire quality control department). Got my approval letter for $394/week, then 5 days later received the disqualification notice citing Section 402(e) - misconduct. I was absolutely devastated because I knew I hadn't done anything wrong. After reading through posts like this one, I realized my employer probably reported it incorrectly in their system. I filed my appeal immediately and included my termination letter that clearly stated "position elimination due to restructuring" along with an email from my supervisor explaining the department closure. The hearing was nerve-wracking but straightforward - the referee could see it was obviously an employer reporting error. Took about 4 weeks total but I got approved and received all my back pay. The key things that helped me were: 1) Filing the appeal within 15 days, 2) Continuing to file weekly claims during the process, 3) Having clear documentation of the layoff reason, and 4) taking screenshots of everything in my dashboard. Your reorganization letter mentioning 12 positions being eliminated sounds like perfect evidence. Don't let this discourage you - from what I've learned lurking in these forums, hospital HR departments are notorious for these kinds of reporting mistakes. You've got this!

•Max, thank you so much for sharing your story! It's incredibly reassuring to hear from someone who just went through this exact situation and won their appeal. The fact that your manufacturing plant's HR also incorrectly reported a department closure as misconduct really drives home how common these employer errors are. Your timeline of 4 weeks and getting all back pay gives me realistic hope. I'm definitely going to follow your four key steps - I've already started taking screenshots of everything and I'm filing my appeal today with all my documentation. It's amazing how this community has turned my panic into confidence just by showing me I'm not alone and that these mistakes do get corrected. Really appreciate you taking the time to help a newcomer navigate this stressful situation!
