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 had a somewhat similar situation where I was receiving WC benefits and tried to claim UC from a previous employer. Be extremely careful here - there are specific rules about what you need to report. If your WC is for total disability, then PA UC will likely deny benefits because you're not able to work. You mentioned you got hurt at your first job - are you still technically employed there but just collecting WC? If so, you'll need to explain that you're collecting WC from an employer you still work for (but are on leave from), while claiming UC from a different employer you no longer work for. I strongly recommend getting a formal determination from UC rather than guessing. Be 100% honest about your WC status when you apply. In my case, I was initially denied but was able to appeal and eventually received benefits.
Quick question - when u appealed, did u have to attend a hearing? I'm going thru something similar and just got a hearing notice in the mail and im freaking out about it.
Didnt u have to be lookin for work to get UC? How does that work with workers comp?
Good question. If you're on partial disability through Workers' Comp and are medically cleared for specific types of work, you can limit your work search to jobs within your medical restrictions. You'd still need to complete and document your work search activities each week (applying to jobs, attending interviews, etc.) but only for positions you're physically capable of performing. The PA UC system allows for this type of limitation as long as it's medically documented.

To summarize the correct information: 1. The payment date shown in your portal (5/22) is when the payment is processed by PA UC 2. For Money Network cards, funds typically appear 1 business day after the payment date 3. Most users report seeing deposits in the morning hours 4. You can track deposits by using the Money Network mobile app 5. If your payment doesn't appear within 2 business days of the payment date, you should contact PA UC Hope this helps clarify things!
Thank you for this clear summary! This community has been so helpful. I feel much better now knowing what to expect.

So I actually did win my appeal! What worked for me was I had some text messages with my supervisor about my last day and a coworker who testified for me. Also I wrote down a timeline of everything that happened with as many specific dates as I could remember. The judge said my testimony was more consistent than my employers. They kept changing their story about why I was fired and it made them look bad. Just tell your friend to be super prepared and answer questions honestly and directly.
This is so helpful! She does have some text messages about shifts, so we'll definitely organize those. Did you have a lawyer or did you represent yourself?
did it myself! they make the process pretty simple and the judge asked me questions directly. just be organized and you'll be fine!
my uncle works at the unemployment office lol and he says most employers don't even show up to these hearings. if they don't show up ur friend automaticly wins
This isn't accurate. If the employer doesn't show up, it doesn't guarantee an automatic win. The referee will still review the case file and make a determination based on available evidence. While it certainly helps if the employer isn't there to present their side, your friend still needs to be prepared to explain why she was eligible for benefits.

Also remember you'll need to complete your work search activities every week once you start filing weekly claims. PA requires you to apply to at least 2 jobs and do 1 other work search activity (like updating your resume or attending a workshop) each week. Document everything carefully!
I've already applied to 5 jobs since yesterday so I should be good on that requirement! I'll make sure to keep track of all the applications. Thanks for the reminder.

One additional tip: whenever you're dealing with backpay, make sure you have very clear documentation of your original claim dates, confirmation numbers, and any correspondence. I had success getting my backpay by creating a simple timeline document that showed exactly when I filed, when I was eligible, and why I was owed the money. Having this ready when I finally got through to a UC agent made the process much smoother since they could immediately understand my case.

•That's really smart. I'm going to create a document like that tonight so I'm prepared whenever I do get through to someone. I have screenshots of everything, thankfully.
