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!

Good news!!! My frend says make sure u get the ADA thing in WRITING tho. Some companys try to go back on stuff if its just verbal promise.

Good point! They said they'd email me the official accommodation letter tomorrow. I'll make sure to follow up if I don't receive it.

Congratulations on getting the accommodation approved! That's a huge win. Just wanted to add a few things based on my experience with both ADA accommodations and partial UC in PA: 1. When you apply for partial UC, you'll need to report your reduced earnings each week. The good news is that PA has a "partial benefit credit" - you can earn up to 30% of your weekly benefit amount without any reduction to your UC payment. 2. Keep detailed records of your accommodation - not just the HR letter, but also any communications about how it's working out. This will be crucial if you need to extend or modify the accommodation later. 3. If your employer decides the accommodation isn't working after the trial period, having that documentation will also help if you need to apply for full UC benefits. The fact that your HR was cooperative is really encouraging. Many companies are more willing to work with employees than people realize, especially when you come with proper medical documentation. Hope the reduced schedule gives you the relief you need to heal properly!

I've been using Huntington for my PA UC payments for about 6 months now. In my experience, it's been pretty reliable - usually 1 business day after the payment release date, sometimes same day if it's released early morning. One thing I noticed is that Huntington's mobile app sends you a push notification as soon as the deposit hits, which is really helpful for budgeting. The only time I had a delay was during a federal holiday weekend when it took an extra day. Overall, I'd say plan for 1 business day after release to be safe, but you'll likely see it faster than that most of the time.

This is so reassuring! Thanks for the detailed breakdown. The mobile app notification feature sounds really useful - I'll make sure to enable those. Good to know about the holiday delays too, I'll keep that in mind for future planning.

I've been with Huntington for my PA UC payments for about a year now and wanted to share my experience! Generally it's 1 business day after the payment release date, but I've noticed it can vary slightly depending on what time UC releases the payment. If they release it before noon, I sometimes get it same day. If it's released later in the afternoon, it's usually the next business day. One helpful tip - set up account alerts in the Huntington app so you get notified immediately when the deposit hits. Also keep in mind that if there's a federal holiday, it can delay by an additional day. Overall though, Huntington has been pretty consistent for me compared to some horror stories I've heard about other banks!

This is really helpful info! I just made the switch from PNC so I'm still learning Huntington's timing. The tip about setting up account alerts is great - I'll definitely do that. It sounds like most people are having pretty consistent experiences with the 1 business day timeline, which is reassuring. Thanks for sharing your experience!

That's great news! Just remember to keep filing your weekly certifications every Sunday for continued payments. And make sure you're keeping track of your work search activities - you need to complete at least 2 per week and document them in your UC account. They do random audits and if they ask for proof and you don't have it, you could end up with an overpayment issue.

Thanks for the reminder about the work search! I've been applying to jobs but didn't realize I need to log them in the UC system too. Will start doing that right away.

0 coins

Glad to see this worked out! For future reference for anyone else reading this thread, I'd also recommend taking a screenshot of your payment status page when it shows the pending deposits. Sometimes the system glitches and payments get delayed or reversed, and having that screenshot as proof can save you hours on the phone with customer service trying to explain what happened. Also, if you're still job searching, consider setting up job alerts on Indeed and LinkedIn - makes it easier to find those 2 required work search activities each week!

UPDATE: Success! I tried the early morning trick and called exactly at 7:58am. Got through after only 12 attempts and waited on hold for about 35 minutes. The rep was actually really helpful and fixed my issue - turns out they needed additional employment verification because my employer had reported different quarterly wages than what I put on my application. Issue resolved and payments should start processing tomorrow! Thanks everyone for the advice. For anyone else struggling, the early morning really does seem to be the key. Have your info ready and be prepared to wait on hold, but it's worth it to get your issue resolved.

Great news! Glad you got your issue resolved. And thanks for coming back to update - helps others know what works.

CONGRATS!!! It's like winning the lottery when you actually get through to someone helpful! Make sure you check your dashboard tomorrow to confirm the payments are actually processing.

Wow, congratulations on finally getting through! Your success story gives me hope. I'm dealing with a similar situation - been trying to reach PA UC for weeks about a payment issue. The early morning strategy sounds like it's worth trying. Quick question though - when you called at 7:58am, did you keep redialing immediately if you got a busy signal, or did you wait between attempts? Also, did you use the main UC number or a specific department line? Thanks for sharing your experience and coming back to update us!

0 coins

Hey Eduardo! When I called at 7:58am, I kept redialing immediately if I got busy signals - no waiting between attempts because those spots fill up FAST. I used the main UC customer service number (1-888-313-7284) and just kept hitting redial on my phone. The key is being ready to dial the exact second it hits 7:58 because by 8:05am the queue is usually full for the day. Have your claim confirmation number and SSN ready before you even start dialing. Good luck - you got this!

UPDATE: Finally got through to someone on the phone! They told me my claim had multiple issues - not just the CareerLink thing but also an employer separation issue. Apparently my employer initially reported I quit (which is absolutely false). The rep helped clear up both issues and said my payments should be processed within 7-10 days including backdated weeks! For those asking how I got through - I ended up using that Claimyr service someone mentioned above and got connected in about 25 minutes. Would have NEVER gotten through otherwise, been trying for weeks.

This gives me hope! I've been dealing with a similar situation for weeks now. Congrats on finally making progress!

Nice! Make sure to keep filing your weekly claims even while waiting for the backdated payments to process. The system is notorious for creating new problems just when you think everything is fixed.

0 coins

So glad you finally got through and got it sorted out! That employer separation issue is a huge red flag - definitely keep documentation of your layoff notice and any communication with your employer in case that comes up again. For anyone else reading this thread, this is exactly why it's so important to check what your employer reports to UC. Sometimes there are honest mistakes in their reporting, but sometimes employers try to avoid paying into the UC fund by claiming you quit or were fired for cause. Always contest these if they're wrong! @ad4e60893f83 - curious, did the rep mention anything about interest or penalties for the delayed payments? PA is supposed to pay interest on backdated benefits in some cases.
