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!

UPDATE: mine just switched to PAID about 10 minutes ago!! Check your accounts everyone!! Hopefully yours all updated too!
Just checked and mine changed to paid too! What a relief. Thanks everyone for the help and info.
Mine too finally! Still annoyed about the delay with ZERO communication from them though.
Just wanted to chime in as someone who's been through this before - glad to see everyone's payments finally went through! For future reference, PA UC actually does have a system status page at unemployment.pa.gov/status that shows known issues, though they don't always update it quickly. I learned about it after dealing with a similar delay last year. Also, if this happens again, try checking your payment status around 11 PM - that's when their overnight batch processing usually runs. Hope this helps anyone who might face this issue in the future!

That's really helpful advice - I never think to check there. I'll bookmark that page for the future. Thanks for all your help explaining what happened!
This exact same thing happened to my sister last month! She panicked so hard when the money vanished, but it turned out to be exactly what Miguel explained - some kind of pre-authorization glitch in their system. Her regular payment came through the next day right on schedule. It's definitely scary when you're counting on that money for bills, but from what I've seen in this community, the weird Monday deposits that disappear are almost always just technical hiccups and don't affect your actual Tuesday payment.

does anyone know if we're getting that extra $300 this month? i heard something about it on the news but my payment was just the regular amount
There is no additional $300 supplement for PA unemployment currently. You might be thinking of a news story about a different state or a legislative proposal that hasn't been implemented. Regular UC in Pennsylvania is just your weekly benefit amount without any federal supplements since those pandemic programs ended years ago.
Still waiting here too - nothing on my direct deposit yet. This is really stressful because I have rent due tomorrow and was counting on getting paid today like usual. Has anyone tried calling the UC office to see if there's an official explanation for the delays? I'm wondering if I should wait it out or try to get through to someone today.

I had a similar problem back in November. They mixed up my identity with someone else! It's crazy how many errors happen in their system. Glad you got it sorted out. Just remember if you don't see that correction within the 10 days they promised, call back immediately. They told me 10 days and it actually took 4 weeks and another call before my determination was fixed.
Thanks for the warning. I'm marking my calendar and will definitely follow up if I don't see the correction by then. This whole experience has been so stressful!
Wow, what a nightmare but so glad you got it resolved! Identity mix-ups seem to happen more often than they should with PA UC. For anyone else reading this with similar issues, here's what I learned from my own experience: 1. Don't panic if your benefit amount seems way off - it's often a data error 2. Keep detailed records of ALL your employers during the base period, even part-time work 3. If you can't get through by phone, try early morning (7-8 AM) when call volume is lower 4. Screenshot everything in your UC dashboard before and after any changes The fact that they confused you with someone else with a similar name/SSN is pretty concerning from a data security standpoint, but at least they caught it. Hopefully your corrected determination comes through quickly!

UPDATE: My state rep's office called today (just 3 days after I contacted them) to let me know that UC reviewed my claim! Apparently there was an issue with my job separation reason that needed clarification. The UC examiner is calling me tomorrow morning to get the final details, but my rep's staff said payments should start processing by next week. I'm so relieved! Definitely recommend this route to anyone stuck in UC limbo!

This is such valuable information! I've been struggling with my PA UC claim for 4 weeks now - stuck in "pending review" status with no communication whatsoever. I had no idea that state representatives could help with this kind of thing. I always thought they just dealt with like... voting issues or something. Going to look up my rep right now and give their office a call first thing tomorrow morning. Really appreciate you sharing this tip - it gives me hope that there's actually a way to get human help instead of just calling into the void every day!
