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!

Just checking back - has your payment arrived yet? If it's been more than 5 business days, you should definitely try to contact the UC office as they may need to investigate or reissue the payment.
Great news! The first payment just hit my account this morning. It was exactly 4 business days from when it showed as issued. Looks like the rest are scheduled to come in batches over the next few days. Thanks everyone for your help and advice!
That's awesome news! So glad it worked out for you. 4 business days seems pretty typical for the first payment after an issue gets resolved. Hope the rest of your backpay comes through smoothly over the next few days. It's such a relief when you finally see that money hit your account after waiting for months!
Totally agree! I went through something similar earlier this year and that first deposit hitting after months of waiting was like Christmas morning. The stress of not knowing when it's coming while bills are piling up is the worst part. Glad everything worked out for you @Christopher Morgan!

Just wanted to add my experience for anyone else going through this - I had the exact same situation about 6 weeks ago. Issue count went to zero on a Monday, claim stayed "in progress" until Wednesday morning, then switched to approved and payment hit my account Thursday. The automatic processing really does work, but those 48 hours feel like forever when you're stressed about money. Hang in there everyone who's waiting - the system has definitely gotten more reliable this year!
Thanks for sharing your timeline Malik! It's so helpful to hear from people who've been through this recently. That Wednesday morning update seems to be pretty consistent based on what everyone's saying here. I'm on day 1 of waiting after my issues cleared, so knowing that Wednesday is when things typically flip to approved really helps manage expectations. Really appreciate you taking the time to share your experience for those of us still in the waiting phase!
Had this exact same situation happen to me back in January! My claim showed 0 issues on a Friday afternoon but stayed "in progress" all weekend. I was totally panicking because I needed the money for rent. Sure enough, Monday night the status flipped to approved and I had my payment by Wednesday. The automated processing really does work - it's just that the waiting feels endless when you're broke and stressed. Sean's update is perfect proof that patience pays off. For anyone else in this boat, try to distract yourself for those 48 hours instead of refreshing the page every 10 minutes like I did!

Wow, what a relief that you got it sorted out! I was getting anxious just reading about your situation. It's crazy how long these wage investigations can take - over 3 years is insane. At least now you know it's legitimate money and you don't have to worry about them clawing it back later. Thanks for updating us with the resolution, it's really helpful for anyone else who might face something similar. And good tip about that Claimyr service, I'm definitely bookmarking that for future reference!
Totally agree! I was stressed out just reading through this whole saga too. It's wild that PA UC takes over 3 years to complete wage investigations - makes you wonder how many other people are out there with money sitting in limbo that they don't even know about. Really appreciate @AstroAce sharing the full resolution and that Claimyr tip. Stories like this are exactly why this community is so valuable for navigating the UC maze!
This is such a great outcome! I've been following your story and I'm so glad you got it resolved. Three years for a wage investigation is absolutely ridiculous, but at least PA UC came through in the end. I had a similar situation last year where I got a random deposit, but mine was only about $200. I was too scared to call and just let it sit in my account for months until I finally worked up the courage. Turns out it was also legitimate backpay from an employer wage report that came in late. It's reassuring to know that these surprise payments are usually legit and not some system error that'll come back to haunt us later. Thanks for sharing your experience - it'll definitely help others who find themselves in the same confusing situation!

did u try using a diffrent device? my laptop didnt work but my phone did for some reason
I've tried my laptop, desktop, and phone - same issue on all of them unfortunately. Thanks for the suggestion though!
Just wanted to follow up - were you able to get this resolved? If you're still struggling, there's one more thing you can try. Sometimes the system has trouble with accounts that have been dormant for a specific period (2-3 years). In those cases, they sometimes need to do a full account recovery rather than just a password reset. When you call, specifically ask them to check if you need an "account recovery" rather than just a password reset. It's a different process on their end.
That's awesome news! Glad you got it sorted out. CareerLink's direct line to UC reps is such a hidden gem - I wish more people knew about that option. It's crazy that it took both an identity verification flag AND an unresolved issue to cause all that trouble, but at least you're finally able to move forward with your claim. Hope your benefits get processed quickly!
So glad you got it resolved @StarSurfer! This whole thread is going to be super helpful for others dealing with the same nightmare. The CareerLink direct line tip is gold - I had no idea they could connect you directly to UC reps. Definitely saving this info in case I ever run into login issues again. The PA UC system really needs an overhaul, but at least there are workarounds when you know where to look!

So does anyone know if theres a way to predict which day itll come? I need to pay my car loan next week and was hoping to time it right

•Unfortunately, there's no way to predict it with 100% certainty. Best practice is to always plan as if it will come on the later day (Wednesday) and consider it a bonus if it comes Tuesday. For important bills with specific due dates, try to build a one-week buffer in your budget if possible.

I've been tracking my payments for about 6 months now and noticed a few patterns that might help others predict timing better. Tuesday payments seem more common during weeks with federal holidays (even if PA state offices are open), lower unemployment claim volume in summer months, and oddly enough, weeks when there's scheduled system maintenance over the weekend. Wednesday payments are more typical during high-volume periods like after holidays when everyone files at once, or during winter months when more people are claiming benefits. I started keeping a simple spreadsheet and it's helped me plan better - not perfect but gives me a better guess than just hoping!
