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!

Isaac, congratulations on winning your appeal! That's such a huge weight off your shoulders after 3 months of fighting. Your 11-day timeline gives me hope - I'm currently day 8 after my own favorable appeal decision for a similar misconduct vs layoff situation. Reading through all these responses has been incredibly helpful. The advice about checking the Money Network card separately from bank accounts, setting up text alerts, and documenting everything really stands out. I had no idea about the potential for fraud alerts on large deposits either - definitely calling my bank tomorrow! One thing I'm curious about - did you get any kind of confirmation or tracking number when your first batch processed, or did the money just show up? I'm obsessively checking both my bank account and the UC portal multiple times a day but haven't seen anything yet. Thanks for taking the time to update everyone with your timeline. Posts like this are a lifeline for those of us still waiting and stressing about rent/bills. Really hope your second batch comes through quickly!
Hey NeonNova! Day 8 sounds promising based on everyone's experiences here - you're definitely in the window where things could start happening any day now. From what I've gathered reading through all these responses, most people don't get any advance confirmation or tracking numbers - the money just appears in their account/card. That's probably why everyone suggests checking multiple times a day (even though it drives you crazy!). The obsessive checking is totally normal - I think we all go through that when we're waiting for money we desperately need. Isaac's 11-day timeline and the average of 12.6 days that Tami shared really seem to be the sweet spot, so hopefully you'll see movement soon. Keep us posted on when yours comes through - these real timelines help everyone manage their expectations and stress levels!
Isaac, this is such amazing news! Congratulations on both winning your appeal and getting that first batch of payments. Your timeline is incredibly helpful - 11 business days seems to be right in that sweet spot that others have mentioned. I'm actually going through a similar situation right now (day 6 after my favorable decision) and this thread has been a goldmine of practical advice. The tip about setting up Money Network text alerts and checking the portal at 6am are things I never would have thought of on my own. It's so frustrating that employers try to claim misconduct when they're really just doing layoffs to avoid paying into the UC system. But it's encouraging to see that the referees do side with workers when we have our documentation together. Quick question - when your first batch came through, did it show up on your Money Network card or direct deposit? I'm trying to figure out where to focus my obsessive checking! Thanks for taking the time to update everyone. These real experiences make such a difference when you're in the middle of this stressful process. Fingers crossed your remaining payments come through in the next few days!
Hey Alberto! Day 6 is still early but you're definitely in the zone where things could start happening soon based on everyone's experiences here. From what I've been reading through all these responses, it sounds like most people get their payments on whichever method they originally set up - so if you chose direct deposit initially, it should go there, but definitely worth checking both just in case the system does something weird. The employer misconduct claims when it's really layoffs thing seems so common unfortunately - like they have a playbook or something. But you're right that having good documentation makes all the difference in these hearings. Sounds like you're well prepared! The obsessive checking is totally relatable - I think we all go through that phase when we're waiting for money we desperately need. Isaac's timeline and all the others shared here really help set realistic expectations though. Keep us posted on when yours comes through - these real updates are so valuable for everyone going through this stressful process!

If you do file for that waiver, make sure you clearly demonstrate financial hardship. Include your monthly expenses, income, and any special circumstances (medical bills, dependents, etc.). The more specific evidence you provide, the better your chances. Also, definitely emphasize that the reporting error was your employer's mistake and not yours. If you have any documentation from your employer acknowledging the error, include that too.
That's great advice. I actually do have an email from HR acknowledging they submitted incorrect dates for my temporary layoff period. I'll make sure to include that with the waiver request. Thanks for the tip about being specific with financial details too!
Hey there! I went through something really similar about 8 months ago. The good news is that yes, you can still get relief even though you're past the initial appeal window. I was in almost the exact same boat - employer reported wrong info, got hit with a "fault" overpayment classification, and they were taking like 38% of my benefits. Here's what worked for me: I filed both the late appeal (citing that I didn't understand the process initially) AND the overpayment waiver at the same time. The waiver got approved first after about 5 weeks, and they actually refunded me about $800 that they had already deducted! The key was really documenting everything - I included my employer's written acknowledgment of their error, bank statements showing financial hardship, and a detailed timeline of what happened. Don't give up! The system is frustrating but there are definitely ways to fight this, especially when it wasn't your fault to begin with.
Wow, this gives me so much hope! Thank you for sharing your success story. I'm definitely going to file both the late appeal and waiver request this week. It's encouraging to hear that you actually got money refunded - I was starting to think that was impossible. Did you have to provide a lot of documentation for the financial hardship part, or was it pretty straightforward once you had the employer's acknowledgment of their error?

Just wanted to follow up - were u able to figure this out? Which email was correct?
Yes!! Finally got through this morning. The rep confirmed the SECOND email (approval) was correct! She said their system sometimes sends out the disqualification notice automatically during processing before the final determination is made. So relieved. My weekly claim was processed and payment should arrive in 2-3 business days. Thanks everyone for the help!
Glad you got it sorted out! This is exactly why I always tell people to wait for that second email or call to confirm. The PA UC system has been having these glitches for months now. For anyone else dealing with this - if you get conflicting emails on the same day, 99% of the time the later one is accurate. The system sends out automated disqualification notices during processing that get overridden once verification completes. Still stressful as hell when you're waiting for benefits though!
This is such valuable information! I wish PA UC would fix this system issue since it causes so much unnecessary panic. I'm dealing with a similar situation right now - got a disqualification email yesterday and I'm hoping for that second approval email. How long did it typically take between the two emails when you've seen this happen?

For future reference, you can usually check the PA UC website under "Payment Information" to see if there are any scheduled delays posted. They don't always advertise it well, but sometimes they'll put a notice up a few days before major holidays. Also, if you're really tight on funds, some banks will let you set up overdraft protection or a small line of credit to cover situations like this where payments get delayed by a day or two. Might be worth looking into so you don't have to stress about rent being late due to holiday delays.
That's really helpful advice about checking the PA UC website and setting up overdraft protection! I never thought to look for notices there. Do you know if they usually post those holiday delay notices pretty far in advance, or is it more like last minute? I'd love to be able to plan better for these situations in the future.
I'm new to PA UC and this is really helpful info! I didn't realize holidays could delay payments. Just to clarify - does this affect everyone the same way regardless of which bank you use for direct deposit? Or do some banks process faster than others? I have PNC and wondering if that makes any difference in how quickly I'll get my payment after the holiday delay.

I'm so glad I found this thread! I'm dealing with something similar right now - got denied initially because my employer claimed misconduct, but I have documentation proving otherwise. Filed my appeal two weeks ago and have been anxiously waiting for my hearing date. Reading all these responses gives me hope that maybe they'll review the evidence I submitted and resolve it before the hearing like they did for you. The PA UC appeals process is so nerve-wracking when you're already dealing with job loss stress. Thanks everyone for breaking down what "quashed as moot" actually means - I'll know what to look for if I get a similar letter!

•Best of luck with your appeal! It sounds like you're in a really similar situation. Having documentation that contradicts your employer's misconduct claim should definitely work in your favor - that's exactly the kind of evidence that can lead to these early reversals before the hearing. The fact that they're reviewing appeals more thoroughly upfront seems like a positive change, even if their communication about the process is still terrible. Keep filing your weekly claims during the appeal process if you haven't already, and don't lose hope! From what I've learned here, having solid evidence like you do is often enough for them to realize the employer was wrong. Fingers crossed you get your own "quashed as moot" letter soon!

I'm a newcomer to this community but have been lurking and reading posts about PA UC issues. This thread is incredibly helpful! I'm currently dealing with my own appeal situation (employer falsely claimed I was fired for attendance when I have documentation showing I requested FMLA leave). Seeing how "quashed as moot" actually means good news gives me hope. @Kai Santiago congratulations on getting this resolved! The legal terminology really is unnecessarily confusing - they should just say "your appeal was successful, hearing cancelled." For anyone else reading this who might be in a similar boat, it sounds like submitting strong documentation with your appeal can lead to these early reversals. Thanks to everyone who explained what this confusing notice actually means!

•Welcome to the community @Amina Sow! Your FMLA documentation should definitely work in your favor - that's exactly the type of evidence that can lead to these early reversals. It's frustrating how employers sometimes misrepresent the facts, but having proper documentation like you do is key. I agree the legal terminology is unnecessarily confusing - "quashed as moot" sounds scary when it's actually good news! Keep us updated on how your appeal goes. This thread has been so educational for understanding what these cryptic notices actually mean. Good luck with your case!
