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 swear the PA UC website is designed to lock people out on purpose to reduce claims!!! Been dealing with this system for 2 years and its ALWAYS something!! Account lockouts PIN problems website crashes!!! Then you cant reach anyone to help fix it!!! The whole system is designed to make people give up!!!
While the system certainly has its flaws, these issues are typically due to outdated infrastructure rather than intentional obstacles. The UC system was built decades ago and struggles with the volume of claims it processes. They are currently working on a modernization project scheduled to be completed by mid-2025 that should address many of these technical issues.
I've been using PA UC for about 6 months now and I've noticed the payment timing is pretty consistent - Sunday filers get paid Wednesday, Monday filers get paid Thursday. The only exception I've seen is during holiday weeks when everything shifts by a day. As for the lockouts, I had this happen twice and both times it was after I tried logging in from my phone after usually using my computer. Seems like the system flags "unusual" login patterns. Now I always use the same device and haven't had issues since. Hope your payment comes through on time!

To follow up on the process: After you gather your documentation, you should file an appeal through the PA UC portal and request a hearing. At the hearing, you'll need to clearly explain: 1. Your base period (typically the first 4 of the last 5 completed calendar quarters before filing) 2. When you earned your pension (showing it's from employment outside that base period) 3. The specific employers who contributed to your pension Bring multiple copies of all documentation so the hearing officer and any employer representatives can have copies. Make your case calmly and stick to the facts about when and where the pension was earned.
do you still need to do the work search stuff every week while waiting for the appeal? my friend didn't and they denied her benefits completely!
I went through something very similar last year with my PSERS pension from teaching in multiple districts. The key thing that finally got mine resolved was getting a detailed letter from PSERS that specifically stated: 1. The exact dates of all my teaching employment that contributed to the pension 2. A clear statement that the pension was based on employment from [specific years] 3. Confirmation that my most recent employer (the one I filed UC against) was NOT a contributing employer to this pension Once I had that documentation, I also called and spoke to a supervisor (took multiple attempts) and explained that this was a "non-base period pension" under PA UC guidelines. The supervisor was able to see that their system had incorrectly flagged it as being from my most recent employer. It took about 5 weeks total from when I first got the documentation to when they corrected it and released my back pay. Don't give up - you have the law on your side if the pension truly isn't from your base period employer!

This is such a relief to read! I was about to post almost the exact same question because I started getting these ReliaCard texts last week too after not collecting UC since early 2022. Mine also show $0 balance but I was worried someone might be trying to access my account. Reading through all the responses here, especially Mateo's update that it was just a system glitch from an update, makes me feel so much better. I'm definitely going to call ReliaCard tomorrow to get removed from their text notifications too. Thanks for posting this - you probably helped a lot of people who are dealing with the same thing!
You're so welcome! I was really worried when it first started happening, but this community is amazing for helping each other figure out these confusing PA UC issues. Definitely call ReliaCard - their customer service was actually pretty helpful and quick about removing the notifications. It's such a relief knowing it's just a system glitch and not something more serious!

Same thing happened to me last month! Mine was delayed by 3 days and I was panicking about bills. Turned out there was a processing backlog they didn't announce until people started complaining on social media. The good news is that once it shows "issued" on your dashboard, the money is definitely coming - it's just stuck somewhere in the system. I know it's stressful when you're counting on it, but try not to worry too much. Have you tried calling the Money Network customer service line? Sometimes they can see pending deposits before they actually hit your account.

If it's chime for cash app and you just set it up they might have flagged your account like mine was and you won't be able to get it they might have mailed you a check like me

•Wait, they can just randomly flag your account and mail a check instead? That's terrifying! How long did it take for the check to arrive? I'm using the Money Network card that came with my UC setup, not Chime or Cash App, so hopefully that's different. But now I'm worried they might have done something similar to my account since the payment shows issued but nothing's there.
