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!

mine randomly showed up at like 10pm on a thursday lol. the money network system is weird about when it posts
That's good to know! I'll keep checking throughout the day instead of just in the morning.
I work for a nonprofit that helps people navigate UC issues, and what you're experiencing is unfortunately very common with PA backpay right now. The system is backed up and large backpay amounts (especially 7+ weeks) are getting flagged for additional review even after showing "paid" status. A few things to try: 1) Call Money Network tomorrow to verify your card details are correct 2) Check your UC dashboard for any new messages or requirements 3) If nothing by day 10, try calling PA UC early morning (7:30am) for better chance of getting through. The good news is I've never seen a legitimate "paid" status not eventually result in payment - it's just taking longer than usual. Hang in there!
This is really helpful info! I had no idea about the flagging for additional review - that explains a lot. I'll definitely call Money Network first thing tomorrow morning to double-check everything on their end. It's reassuring to hear from someone who works with UC issues that legitimate "paid" statuses do eventually come through. The waiting is just nerve-wracking when you have bills due! Thank you for taking the time to explain what's happening behind the scenes.

One more thing to try - check your PA Treasury account (not your UC account). Sometimes benefits get released but don't show up in the UC portal right away. It happened to my brother-in-law. His UC account showed open issues for weeks but the money was actually sitting in his Treasury account the whole time.
This is excellent advice. The UC portal and the Treasury payment systems don't always sync properly. You access the Treasury account through a different website than the regular UC portal.
I'm going through something similar right now - 7 weeks waiting after my appeal hearing. The frustrating part is how they act like these delays are normal when people are literally running out of money to survive. I've found that keeping detailed records of every call helps a lot. Write down the date, time, who you spoke with, and exactly what they told you. When you call back and get someone different (which always happens), you can reference the previous conversation and it seems to get better results. Also, don't let them rush you off the phone - ask questions until you understand exactly what the next step is and when it should happen. Hang in there, it does eventually get resolved but the system is definitely broken.

My roommate had his payment date on a Thursday once but didn't get it until Monday because they don't process on weekends. So if your date is Friday it might be Tuesday before you see it.
That's a good point. The payment date is when PA UC processes it, but then the actual transfer to the Money Network card follows normal banking timeframes, which excludes weekends and holidays. Always plan for these potential delays.
Hey Dmitri! I totally understand your anxiety - I was in the exact same boat when I first started collecting. The good news is that since your payment shows 10/7 and today is 10/8, you should definitely see it hit your Money Network card tomorrow (10/9) morning. I've been collecting for about 6 months now and it's always been exactly 2 business days after the date shown in the portal. The system is actually pretty reliable once you understand the timing - just wish they'd explain it better upfront! Hang in there, your money is coming.

IMPORTANT FOR EVERYONE: Always take screenshots of your payments page showing the pay date!!!! I had a payment disappear from my portal once and they tried to tell me it never existed until I showed them the screenshot!!!!
This is excellent advice. Documentation is key when dealing with any government system, especially unemployment. I recommend taking screenshots of everything and keeping a log of all phone calls (date, time, who you spoke with) as well.
So glad to see your update that the money finally came through! I'm dealing with a similar situation right now - my portal shows a pay date from last Tuesday but still nothing on my card. Reading through all these responses is really helpful, especially knowing about the extra fraud review for larger amounts. I had no idea that was a thing! Going to give it a few more days before I start panicking, but it's reassuring to know this seems pretty normal with the PA system. Thanks everyone for sharing your experiences!

I had the same issue this morning but just tried again (it's 11:24am now) and was able to get in and file my weekly claim. The site seems to be working again, though it's running a bit slow. Hope this helps!

•@Oliver Alexander Try clearing your browser cache and cookies, then restart your browser completely. I had the same invalid "PIN error" last month even though I knew my PIN was correct. After clearing everything and restarting, it worked fine. If that doesn t'help, you might need to call and have them reset your PIN - sometimes the system locks you out after the maintenance windows.

•@Oliver Alexander Same thing happened to me a few weeks ago after maintenance. The system sometimes gets confused and thinks your PIN changed even though it didn t.'I had to call the customer service line took (forever to get through but) they were able to unlock my account and confirm my PIN was still the same. Really annoying but at least it got sorted out. You might also try waiting an hour or two and trying again - sometimes it fixes itself.

I've been dealing with PA UC website issues for months now and here's what I've learned: always try to file on Sunday or Monday if possible because the system gets overwhelmed later in the week. If you're having trouble, don't panic about missing your deadline - as long as you file within your weekly filing period (which runs Sunday through Friday), you should be fine. I keep a screenshot of any error messages I get just in case I need to prove the system was down if there are any issues with my claim later. Also, if you use a password manager, sometimes that can cause problems with the PA UC site - try typing your info manually if you're getting login errors.
