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!

btw did u set up direct deposit when u filled out your initial claim? sometimes people miss that part and then they automatically send u a debit card which takes way longer
Yes I definitely set up direct deposit. The treasury guy confirmed they sent it to my checking account, not to a card. That's why I'm confused about the delay.
my buddy just went thru this whole process and his first payment showed up wednesday but got approved on a friday so maybe its always like 3 business days?
The timing really varies based on several factors. PA Treasury typically processes payments in batches, and your bank's processing time adds another variable. Generally, you can expect 2-3 business days from when Treasury sends it, but there's no exact guaranteed day.

my cousin works at the UC office and she says they get this question all the time! lots of people think benefit year = time receiving benefits but its actually from application date no matter what. she said just make sure to file right away when september hits and you should be fine if you worked those months
Jamal Wilson
A final note: Be prepared to provide income verification for that October-March period when you file your new claim. Having pay stubs or W-2 information ready will speed up the process. Also, even though your benefit year ends in September, continue filing your weekly certifications until then to receive all benefits you're entitled to from your current claim.
Andre Dupont
•Thank you! I've kept all my pay stubs fortunately. I'll keep filing my weekly claims right up until September and then immediately file the new claim. Really appreciate everyone's help explaining this!

btw make sure u answer NO to the question about if u were able 2 work and available 4 work if u were sick or on vacation during any days. my friend messed that up and got in trouble later
Glad you got it sorted out! One last tip: set a reminder on your phone for your bi-weekly filing. The PA UC system follows a Sunday-Saturday calendar, and you file for two weeks at a time. Your filing day depends on the last digit of your Social Security Number. Missing filing windows can create even more headaches.
Ryan Kim
•This! I missed my filing window once and it was such a pain. Also, when you're answering those weekly questions, make sure you understand what they're asking. Sometimes the wording is confusing - like they ask "Did you refuse any work?" and if you DID refuse work, you answer YES, not NO. Sounds obvious but easy to get backwards when rushing through.

For everyone worried about overpayments - while they do happen, split payments themselves are not a sign of an error. But it's always good practice to verify your benefit payment history matches your records of weeks claimed. Keep all your weekly filing confirmations and payment transaction records just in case. The UC system does process multiple weeks in batches sometimes, especially after resolving an issue that held up multiple payments.
Thanks for the reassurance. I've been taking screenshots of everything just to be safe. The payments do match exactly what I was expecting for the weeks they owed me.
i got paid three different days last time they owed me back pay. first payment came on tuesday, second on thursday, third the next monday. made no sense but i got all my money eventually. the lady at careerlink told me its just how there system processes sometimes and not to worry but keep records of everything

I'm in the same boat. Been trying to change my direct deposit info for weeks. This system is so broken 😫

Pro tip: if you can't get through on the main line, try calling right when they open. I got through in like 5 minutes last week!
