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 having the exact same problem! Just got my benefits deposited this morning and the app is completely unusable - just keeps spinning and kicking me back to login. I was panicking because I really need to access my funds today. Reading through all these comments has been so helpful though! I tried the website at moneynetwork.com in incognito mode with mobile data like some of you suggested and it worked perfectly. Was able to check my balance and lock my card right away. This is my second week on UC and I had no idea about the direct deposit option - definitely going to set that up today so I don't have to deal with this Money Network app mess anymore. Thanks everyone for sharing your workarounds, you've saved me hours of frustration!

So glad the website workaround helped you too! I've been following this thread since yesterday because I was dealing with the same login loop nightmare. It's crazy how many people are having this exact issue right now. The incognito mode + mobile data combo seems to be the most reliable fix while they sort out whatever's wrong with their app. And yes, definitely set up that direct deposit ASAP! I wish I had known about it when I first started claiming - would have saved me so much stress with these Money Network glitches. The whole process through the PA UC dashboard is pretty straightforward, just make sure you have your bank routing and account numbers handy. Hang in there - at least you can access your funds now!

Just went through this same nightmare! The login loop issue hit me yesterday right after my benefits deposited. What finally worked was using the website (moneynetwork.com) in incognito mode with mobile data instead of WiFi - seems like there's some conflict with their security and certain networks. I was able to lock my card and check my balance immediately. Also used the automated phone system at 888-320-8913 to double-check my card was secure without waiting on hold forever. This whole experience convinced me to finally set up direct deposit through my PA UC dashboard - took like 5 minutes and should save me from dealing with these Money Network app crashes in the future. Hang in there everyone, the workarounds definitely help while they fix this mess!

I'm so sorry you're dealing with this! I'm relatively new to gig work myself and this whole thread has been a wake-up call about what to expect with PA UC. I just started doing some Grubhub deliveries last week while job searching and made about $45 - now I'm nervous about reporting it and potentially triggering the same review process everyone's describing. It's incredibly frustrating that the system seems to punish people for trying to be proactive and earn some income while actively looking for full-time work. Based on all the advice shared here, I'm planning to upload screenshots of my earnings proactively and document that I only worked about 3 hours total. I've also been keeping detailed records of my job applications (submitted 7 this week) just in case they need proof I'm still actively searching. The "earnings verification interview" tip seems to be the key - I'll definitely use that specific phrase if my benefits get held up. Thanks to everyone for sharing their experiences, especially Grace for the successful resolution update! It really helps to know there's a path through this bureaucratic maze.

Smart move documenting everything proactively! I wish I had known about all these potential issues before I started gig work. Your $45 week might actually be small enough to avoid the automatic review trigger - seems like most people here had issues when they hit $60+ in earnings. But definitely keep those job application records handy just in case. One thing I learned from reading everyone's experiences is that they really want to see you're still "available" for full-time work, so documenting those 3 total hours should help show you're not treating gig work as your primary focus. The fact that you applied to 7 jobs this week while only working 3 hours of deliveries is exactly the kind of pattern they want to see. Hopefully your claim goes through smoothly, but if not, you're way more prepared than most of us were thanks to all the great advice shared in this thread!

This thread has been incredibly helpful! I'm dealing with a similar situation right now with my Spark Driver earnings. Made $63 last week doing grocery deliveries and reported it honestly on my weekly claim. Now I'm on day 5 of "pending review" and starting to panic about my upcoming bills. What's especially frustrating is that I only worked about 4 hours total - just enough to cover gas money while I continue my job search. I've submitted 6 applications this week and have two interviews lined up next week, but apparently none of that matters until they finish their mysterious review process. Reading everyone's success stories with requesting the "earnings verification interview" has given me hope though! I'm definitely calling tomorrow morning and using that exact phrase. Thanks to Grace for sharing the resolution update and to everyone else for all the practical advice about uploading documentation and keeping detailed records. It's ridiculous that we have to become experts in their bureaucratic processes just to get benefits we're entitled to, but at least now I know there's a path through this mess!

I'm so glad this thread exists! I'm completely new to both gig work and dealing with PA UC, but I'm about to start doing some delivery work while job hunting and your experience (and everyone else's) is really valuable. $63 for 4 hours of work seems totally reasonable as supplemental income while actively job searching - the fact that they're holding up your benefits for almost a week over that is just insane. It sounds like you're doing everything right by keeping your gig hours low and staying active with job applications. Based on all the success stories here, that "earnings verification interview" really does seem to be the magic solution. I'm going to bookmark this thread for reference in case I run into the same issues when I start working. Hope you get through to someone helpful tomorrow and get this resolved quickly! Keep us posted on how it goes.

UPDATE: Just called PA CareerLink (not UC). They said they're experiencing a database sync issue that's causing search results to disappear. Should be fixed within 48 hours. The rep confirmed that if you document your work search activities through other methods during this time, it won't affect your UC benefits eligibility. Just keep detailed records of what you do and be prepared to explain if questioned.

Sure, "48 hours" 🙄 I bet it'll be a week minimum. And watch them not announce it anywhere officially so people keep panicking.

I've been dealing with this same issue since Monday! What's really frustrating is that PA CareerLink doesn't even have a status page or announcement about the outage - you'd think they'd at least post something on their homepage. I've been using Indeed and ZipRecruiter instead and keeping detailed logs with timestamps, company names, and job titles. One tip: if you're documenting work search activities outside of CareerLink, make sure to note the METHOD you used (direct application, email, online portal, etc.) since that's what they sometimes ask for during audits. Also screenshot or save the job posting URLs if possible - I learned this the hard way during my last claim period.

0 coins

This is such great advice! I never thought about saving the job posting URLs - that's really smart. Do you know if there's a specific format they prefer for the documentation, or is a simple spreadsheet with dates/companies/positions enough? I'm new to all this and want to make sure I'm doing it right from the start.

@Isabella Costa A simple spreadsheet works perfectly! I just use columns for Date, Company Name, Position Title, Method like (Applied "via company website ,")and Website/Source. Sometimes I add a Notes column for things like submitted "resume and cover letter or" created "account on their portal. The" UC folks aren t'picky about format - they just want to see you made genuine efforts to find work. Keep it simple but detailed enough that you could recreate your steps if asked. You re'being smart to get organized from day one!

Just wanted to share my recent success story to give everyone hope! I was in the same situation as many of you - forgot to add my two kids (ages 6 and 14) when I initially filed my PA UC claim back in February. After reading through all the advice in this thread, I decided to try the Tuesday morning strategy that Max mentioned. Called at 7:50 AM yesterday and actually got through after only 20 minutes on hold! The representative was super understanding when I explained I'd been trying to reach them for over a week. She added both my children to my claim and even noted in my file that I had attempted to contact them multiple times since filing. She couldn't promise anything about backdating, but said the notation would help if there's ever a review. The dependent allowance should show up in my next weekly payment. For anyone still trying to get through - don't give up! The Tuesday morning time slot really seemed to work, and having all my kids' info ready (SSNs, birth dates, birth certificates) made the actual call go super smoothly once I got connected.

That's amazing news, Abby! Your success story gives me so much hope. I've been struggling to get through for almost two weeks now, and hearing that someone just got connected yesterday using the Tuesday morning strategy is exactly what I needed to hear. It's also reassuring that the rep was understanding about the situation and made notes in your file about your previous attempts. I'm definitely going to try calling next Tuesday at 7:50 AM sharp with all my documentation ready. Thanks for taking the time to share your experience - it really helps to know that persistence pays off and that there are still helpful representatives out there willing to work with us!

I just wanted to add another data point that might help others in this situation. I successfully added my 3-year-old son to my claim last month after initially forgetting to include him. What worked for me was calling on a Thursday around 10:30 AM - I got through after about 35 minutes on hold. The key thing the representative told me was that they prioritize dependent additions if you can show you've been actively trying to contact them. I had screenshots of my online messaging attempts and a list of call times/dates, which she said really helped my case. She was able to backdate the dependent allowance for 2 weeks. One tip I haven't seen mentioned yet: if you get through to a rep who seems rushed or unhelpful, politely ask to speak with a supervisor or call back later. Some reps are more willing to go the extra mile than others. The $5 per week per child really does add up, so it's worth the persistence!

Thanks for sharing your experience, Genevieve! I really appreciate the tip about asking for a supervisor if the first rep isn't helpful - I hadn't thought about that but it makes total sense that different representatives might have different policies or willingness to assist with backdating. The fact that you got 2 weeks backdated by showing your documentation of attempts is really encouraging. I've been keeping track of my call attempts but didn't think to screenshot the online messages - that's brilliant! Quick question: when you say you had "screenshots of online messaging attempts," did you actually get responses through the portal or just screenshots showing you sent messages? I'm wondering if I should try sending messages through the system even if they don't respond, just to have that documentation.

I'm dealing with almost the exact same situation right now! Filed for UC with two employers - one approved, one denied, and now I'm stuck with that dreaded "Results Issue Found" status. It's been 12 days so far and I'm losing my mind waiting. From what I've gathered reading through this thread and other forums, the key things seem to be: 1. Keep filing those weekly claims no matter what 2. Document EVERYTHING 3. Be patient (easier said than done!) Your Job B situation honestly sounds like a slam dunk case for eligibility - you gave proper notice and they cut it short in a hostile way. Those text messages are going to be your golden ticket. I'm bookmarking this thread to follow your updates. We're all in this mess together! Hoping we both get some good news soon 🤞

Thank you for sharing your experience! It's so comforting to know someone else is going through the exact same thing right now. 12 days feels like an eternity when you're waiting for answers, but it sounds like we're both still within that normal 19-25 day window that Zara mentioned earlier. I'm definitely keeping my fingers crossed for both of us! Have you tried calling the UC service center at all, or are you just waiting it out? I'm torn between being patient and trying to get more information about my case status.

I tried calling a few times in the first week but just got busy signals and gave up pretty quickly. After reading about CyberNinja's experience with that Claimyr service, I'm actually considering trying it if I don't hear anything by day 20. The waiting is killing me but I'm trying to stay within that normal timeframe before I panic. At least we know we're not alone in this! Are you getting any updates in your portal at all or is it just stuck on "Results Issue Found" like mine?

I'm so sorry you're going through this stress! I went through something very similar last year with multiple employers and that "Results Issue Found" status. The waiting is absolutely brutal when you're worried about rent. From my experience, you definitely want to keep filing your weekly claims while this is pending - that's super important for getting backpay once it's resolved. The system evaluates each employer separately, so even if Job B's denial stands, you should still be able to get benefits based on Job A's wages. Your Job B situation actually sounds pretty strong for eligibility - being told to leave immediately after giving proper notice is usually considered involuntary termination. Those text messages are going to be huge in your favor during the review process. I know everyone's timeline is different, but mine took about 3 weeks to resolve and I ended up getting approved for both employers. The examiner called me for a brief interview where I explained what happened, and having documentation made all the difference. Hang in there - most of these cases do work out when you have clear evidence like you do!

Thank you so much for sharing your experience, Ravi! It's really encouraging to hear from someone who went through this exact situation and got approved for both employers. 3 weeks feels much more manageable than some of the longer wait times others have mentioned. I'm definitely going to keep filing weekly and organize all my documentation from Job B before that interview call comes. Did the examiner ask you specific questions about the circumstances, or was it more general? I want to make sure I'm prepared with all the details about what my manager said and did when I tried to give notice.
