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!

This helps a ton! I updated my LinkedIn and looked at a couple job boards the day after being laid off, so I'll document those. Thanks for all the great advice - feeling much more confident about filing now.
Just went through this exact same situation a few months ago! The key thing to remember is that PA UC is actually pretty straightforward once you understand the weekly structure. Since you were laid off Wednesday, you'll report that as your last day worked and include your Mon-Wed earnings for that benefit week. The login delays are unfortunately super common - I had the same issue and it didn't affect my claim at all. The system automatically calculates your partial week benefits based on what you earned versus what you would have earned for the full week. Don't stress too much about the timing of when you filed - as long as it's within a reasonable timeframe (which yours definitely is), you'll be fine. The most important thing is being accurate about your last work day and earnings.

UPDATE: I finally got through! I followed the advice to try after midnight and it worked perfectly at 12:30am. For anyone else having this issue, definitely try during off-hours. Thanks everyone for your help and suggestions!
Glad it worked! Their systems always run better when most of Pennsylvania is sleeping. I've learned to do all my UC stuff between 11pm-5am if possible. Bookmark this thread for next time the site inevitably crashes again!
Same thing happened to me last week! The PA UC system seems to have these random outages pretty regularly. I've found that if you're getting the spinning/timeout issue, sometimes refreshing the page and starting over works better than trying to hit submit again. Also, make sure you're not using any browser extensions that might interfere with the submission process - I had to disable my ad blocker to get mine to go through. The late night trick definitely works too, but I know it's frustrating when you just want to get it done during normal hours!
Great tip about the browser extensions! I never would have thought of that. I'm still pretty new to dealing with unemployment stuff and all these little technical issues are so stressful when you're already worried about money. Do you remember which extensions specifically caused problems? I have a few running that I'd rather not disable if I don't have to.

lucky you!!! make sure to check if they took taxes out if thats what u wanted. they messed mine up and i had to call to fix it
Good point! Just checked and they did take taxes out correctly. One less thing to worry about!
Congratulations on getting your payments processed so quickly! That's really encouraging for others going through appeals. For anyone else reading this thread - it sounds like the key factors are: 1) making sure all weekly certifications are complete for back weeks, 2) having payment method properly set up, and 3) being persistent with calling if there are delays. Fiona, I hope your money hits your account soon and you can get caught up on rent!
This is such a helpful summary! I'm new to this community and currently dealing with my own unemployment appeal process. It's really reassuring to see success stories like Fiona's and get practical advice from people who've been through this. The tip about making sure all weekly certifications are filed is something I hadn't thought about - I'll double check mine right now. Thanks to everyone who shared their experiences here!

Update: I FINALLY got through this morning!! Used that Claimyr service and got connected within an hour. Turns out there was an issue with how I reported my freelance earnings (just like someone here suggested). The rep cleared it up and said my payments should resume with the next cycle. They're also releasing the payments that were held. Such a relief! Thanks everyone for your help!
