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!

Hey Nick! Generally speaking, if you're just holding investments and reinvesting dividends without actually withdrawing any cash, it typically shouldn't affect your UC payments since you're not receiving actual income that you can use for living expenses. However, I'd recommend double-checking with the PA UC office directly since investment rules can be tricky and they might have specific guidelines about how they handle dividend income, even if it's reinvested. Better to get the official word to avoid any potential issues down the line. Hope this helps!
@Nick Patel @Ana Erdoğan I haven t personally'dealt with this exact situation, but I ve been'through the UC system in PA and they re pretty'thorough about income reporting. From what I understand, they typically care more about liquid income you can actually access rather than paper gains or reinvested dividends. But Ana s right'- definitely get it in writing from UC because they can change their interpretation of rules. You might also want to keep detailed records of your account statements showing the reinvestment activity just in case they ask for documentation later.
@Nick Patel @Ana Erdoğan @Omar Farouk Just wanted to add that I went through something similar last year. PA UC specifically asks about earnings rather than "investment" gains on their weekly certification. Since you re not selling'anything or taking distributions, you shouldn t have any'reportable earnings from your brokerage account. The key thing is that reinvested dividends don t count as'income you receive - they re automatically put'back into purchasing more shares. I kept detailed screenshots of my account showing the reinvestment activity and never had any issues. But definitely still worth calling them to be 100% sure since every situation can be a bit different.

Hi Alexandra! Memorial Day is a federal holiday, so you should still receive your full unemployment benefits for that week. In Pennsylvania, unemployment benefits are not deducted for federal holidays. You'll typically still certify for the week as normal and receive your regular benefit amount. The holiday shouldn't affect your payment at all. Hope this helps!

UPDATE: You guys were right! Just checked my account and the money hit my Money Network card this morning! Just wanted to update in case anyone else has the same confusion I did. Took exactly 14 days from initial filing to payment. Thanks for all the help and explaining the different statuses!
YAAAAAY!!!! 🎉🎉🎉 so happy for you!!!
Great news! Just remember to continue filing your weekly certifications on time, and make sure you're completing the required work search activities (applying to at least two jobs and completing one work search activity per week). Document everything in case you're selected for a random audit.
Congratulations Carmen! This is such a relief to see a success story. Your timeline of 14 days from filing to payment is really helpful for others to know what to expect. I'm currently in a similar situation - filed 8 days ago and seeing "in review" with "in progress" for payments. Your update gives me hope that I'm on the right track. Thanks for coming back to share the good news with everyone!
@Carmen Ortiz Thanks for sharing your timeline! I m'also in construction and got laid off recently, so this is really encouraging to see. Did you have to do anything special during those 14 days or just wait it out? I m'at day 6 with the same status combo and getting anxious about my rent payment coming up.

Your pregnancy complication situation is absolutely a legitimate medical reason that should work strongly in your favor! Severe morning sickness and high-risk pregnancy appointments are completely beyond your control and are exactly the kinds of circumstances PA UC should consider when evaluating misconduct claims. The fact that your "rule violation" status disappeared follows the exact same encouraging pattern we've all been seeing here - it really seems like a consistent indicator that UC has determined your attendance issues don't constitute willful misconduct, especially when there's no progressive discipline involved. Your case has all the same positive elements everyone else has shared: no formal warnings, legitimate medical circumstances you communicated about, and now that promising status change. I can only imagine how stressful this must be when you're trying to prepare for a baby! But honestly, based on all the success stories shared in this thread, pregnancy-related attendance issues with no formal discipline process should definitely work in your favor. The timing is scary but unemployment benefits are designed exactly for situations like this where legitimate life circumstances affect your ability to work. Keep filing those weekly claims because when that approval and backpay come through, it's going to provide some much-needed financial relief during this important time. This whole community has been such a source of support for all of us going through similar situations - we're all rooting for positive outcomes! Wishing you the best with both your claim and your pregnancy! 💙🤞
Thank you so much for the encouragement! It's really reassuring to hear that pregnancy complications should be viewed as legitimate medical circumstances. I've been so worried that they'd just see it as a policy violation and deny me automatically, but reading everyone's experiences here is giving me so much hope that PA UC actually looks at the bigger picture and considers the circumstances behind attendance issues. The timing is definitely scary - trying to prepare financially for a baby while having no income is terrifying - but you're absolutely right that unemployment benefits are designed for exactly these kinds of life situations. I'm definitely going to keep filing those weekly claims and try to stay positive based on all the success stories everyone has shared. This community has been such a blessing during this stressful time! 🙏
I'm going through the exact same situation right now and this thread has been such a huge relief to find! Got terminated about 4 weeks ago for attendance issues - I was dealing with some pretty severe migraines that would hit randomly and make it impossible for me to work, plus I was having to take my elderly mom to dialysis appointments twice a week. Like everyone else here, I initially had both "discharge other" and "rule violation" showing on my claim, and just yesterday I noticed the "rule violation" status completely disappeared from my dashboard! I've been refreshing the page constantly trying to figure out if it's good news or bad news, and reading all these similar experiences with positive outcomes is honestly the first time I've felt hopeful in weeks. My situation follows the exact same pattern as everyone - absolutely no formal write-ups or progressive discipline, just me calling my supervisor each time to explain when I couldn't make it due to my migraines or mom's medical needs. They knew about both situations but never gave me any official warnings or tried to work out accommodations before just letting me go. The financial stress has been eating me alive - I'm supporting both myself and helping with my mom's medical expenses, and the bills don't stop coming just because I lost my job. But seeing so many people get approved after this same status change is keeping me from completely falling apart. I've been filing my weekly claims even though I was convinced I'd be denied for breaking their attendance policy. Thank you all for sharing your stories so openly - this community has been more helpful than anything else during this nightmare. It's incredible how much better it feels knowing we're all going through similar situations and supporting each other! Fingers crossed we all get the good news we're hoping for! 🤞
Your situation with chronic migraines and caring for your mom's dialysis appointments sounds incredibly challenging, and both of those are absolutely legitimate circumstances that should work in your favor! Migraines are a recognized medical condition that can be completely debilitating, and providing care for a family member's essential medical treatments like dialysis is exactly the kind of responsibility PA UC should consider as beyond your reasonable control. The fact that your "rule violation" status just disappeared yesterday is such an encouraging sign based on all the consistent patterns everyone has shared in this thread! It really seems like when that status vanishes, it means UC has determined that the attendance issues don't qualify as willful misconduct, especially when there are legitimate health and caregiving circumstances involved and no formal progressive discipline was followed. I totally understand the crushing financial pressure of supporting yourself while helping with medical expenses - that's such an overwhelming burden on top of losing your income. But honestly, your case has all the same positive factors that have led to approvals for everyone else here: no formal warnings, legitimate medical/caregiving circumstances you communicated about, and now that promising status change that keeps predicting good outcomes. Keep filing those weekly claims because when that approval and backpay come through, it's going to provide some much-needed relief during this stressful time. This whole community has been such an amazing source of support - we're all in this together and rooting for each other! Based on everything shared here, I really believe you're going to get positive news soon! 💙

Sorry to hear you're dealing with this frustrating situation with Chime and your UC deposits. This seems to be a recurring issue that many people have experienced. Have you tried contacting UC directly to see if they can switch your payment method to a different bank account or prepaid card? Sometimes they can update the payment info on their end, though it might take a few days to process. Also, if you're expecting that paper check, keep an eye on your mail since they don't always send tracking notifications. Hope you get this sorted out soon!
