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!

Welcome to the UC system! For first-time filers with Chime, payments typically process within 2-3 business days after your weekly certification is approved. Since you filed on Sunday, you might see it by Wednesday or Thursday. Chime usually processes deposits faster than traditional banks, often in the early morning hours. Keep in mind that your first payment might take a bit longer as they verify your information. If you don't see anything by Thursday, I'd recommend checking your UC dashboard to make sure your claim was properly processed and calling the UC office if needed. Hang in there!

Glad to hear your payments came through! For future reference, there's a PA Treasury payment calendar on the UC website that shows processing dates. End-of-month delays are common because of the high volume of payments being processed. It's always good to check that calendar if you notice your payment is taking longer than usual.
I had no idea about that calendar. Is it easy to find on the site? I'll definitely check it out next time instead of panicking.
It's under the 'Payment Information' section of the UC website. Look for 'Payment Calendar' or 'Treasury Schedule'. It shows processing times for direct deposits, paper checks, and debit card transfers. Very helpful for planning!
I've been having the same issue with Chime and PA UC payments lately. Mine usually hits by 6am but this week it's been coming around noon or later. I think there might be some backend processing changes at the state level because other people I know with different banks are also seeing delays. At least yours came through today though! I'm still waiting on mine from yesterday's "issued" status. The stress is real when you're counting on that money.

Update: My payment status just changed to 'paid' this morning and now shows a transaction number! Thanks everyone for the reassurance. Now I'll just keep an eye out for the card in the mail. Hopefully it comes before rent is due, but at least I know the money is on its way.
Great news! Now that your payment shows 'paid' with a transaction number, you should receive your Money Network card within 7-10 business days. Remember to activate it immediately when it arrives. For future reference, once you have your card and online account set up, you can also choose direct deposit to your personal bank account for future payments if you prefer that over the card.
Congrats on getting your payment to "paid" status! That's always such a relief. Just wanted to add that when your Money Network card does arrive, make sure to keep the envelope it comes in - it has important activation instructions and the customer service number printed on it. Also, if you're still worried about timing for rent, some landlords will accept a screenshot of your "paid" status with transaction number as proof that payment is coming, especially if you explain the card delivery situation. Worth asking if you're cutting it close!

UPDATE: Just wanted to let everyone know that my direct deposit switch went through! Took 8 business days for the status to change to active in the system. My payment from last week went to the Money Network card as expected, but today's payment hit my bank account directly! Thanks everyone for the helpful information and suggestions. Such a relief to be done with that card!
Great to hear! Thanks for updating us. I'd still recommend keeping that Money Network card in a safe place until your claim ends, just in case there are any issues or adjustments that might get sent there.
Good tip! I'll definitely hang onto it just in case. Hoping I find a job soon anyway, but at least the payments will be easier to manage now.
Congrats on getting it switched over! I'm going through the same process right now - submitted my direct deposit info 3 days ago and the waiting is killing me. Those Money Network fees are absolutely ridiculous, especially when you're already struggling financially. Good to know it typically takes about a week to process. Did you get any kind of confirmation email when the status changed, or did you just have to keep checking the portal?

UPDATE: I finally got through to someone at UC this morning! The rep said I can request an official benefit payment history letter through my dashboard (under the Documents section), and this should satisfy what my SSDI caseworker needs. She also said since I reported both my disability status and SSDI income when I applied for UC, and was approved anyway, I shouldn't have to repay anything. Apparently there's a note in my file from the initial UC interviewer acknowledging my situation. Such a relief! Will post again if anything changes, but wanted to thank everyone for their help and advice!

•That's excellent news! Make sure you download and save that payment history letter immediately. Also request that they email you a copy of the note acknowledging your situation - that could be crucial if any questions come up in the future. Glad it worked out for you!

So happy to hear you got it resolved! This gives me hope for others in similar situations. Your experience really highlights how important it is to be completely transparent when applying for benefits - the fact that you disclosed everything upfront and have documentation of that conversation saved you from a potential nightmare. For anyone else reading this thread who might be in a similar spot: Amina's case shows that if you're honest about your circumstances and the agencies approve you anyway, you're likely protected from having to repay benefits later. The key is keeping records of ALL communications and being proactive about getting official documentation when questions arise. Thanks for updating us with the positive outcome - these success stories are so valuable for the community!

•This is such a great point about transparency being key! I'm dealing with a somewhat similar situation right now (disability benefits + part-time work complications) and was terrified about potential overpayments. Seeing that honesty and good documentation actually protected you gives me so much hope. Going to make sure I have copies of everything and follow your example of being completely upfront about my situation. Thank you for sharing the positive update - these threads can get pretty doom-and-gloom sometimes, so it's refreshing to see someone actually navigate the system successfully!
