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!

check ur dashboard agin tomorrow. mine didnt have transaction # this one time but money still came on thursday like normal. system is glitchy
This is the most common outcome - the system updates overnight and the transaction number appears. About 90% of these cases resolve themselves within 48 hours with no action needed.
UPDATE: The transaction number finally appeared this morning! Status changed to "paid" too. Looks like it was just a delay in the system. Thanks everyone for your help and for calming my anxiety!
awesome! glad it worked out
Great news! This is exactly what happened in my case. The PA UC system has these quirks sometimes, but as long as you've been following all the rules and requirements, the payments usually come through. Make sure you keep doing your work search activities every week - that's the most common reason for payment delays.

Last year I had this problem and it took TWO WEEKS to get my money becuz they flagged my account for "suspicious activity" after the holiday. Make sure u log into ur account on Wednesday to check if theres any issues!!!
This is not a common occurrence. What likely happened in your case was coincidental timing with a routine review that happened after a holiday. Regular payment delays due to banking holidays don't trigger additional reviews. I wouldn't worry other claimants unnecessarily.
Just saying what happened to ME ok?? Maybe it was a coincidence but it still happened right after Presidents Day so I think its related
Just to add some clarification: The regular UC payment schedule is: 1. File your weekly claim on Sunday 2. PA UC processes claims on Monday (normal business day) 3. Payments hit accounts on Tuesday With Presidents Day: 1. File your weekly claim on Sunday 2. Monday is a holiday, so processing moves to Tuesday 3. Payments hit accounts on Wednesday The one-day delay is consistent across all benefit programs including regular UC, PEUC (when it was active), and TRA benefits. The processing schedule returns to normal the following week.
Thanks for breaking it down so clearly! This makes perfect sense. I'll adjust my budget planning for next week.

This is a classic case of miscommunication during a PA UC call. I've been through this exact situation and have helped several others navigate it too. Here's what you need to know: 1. File those appeals immediately as others have said - there's a 15-day deadline from each determination letter 2. In your appeals, be very specific about what was actually said in the conversation - if you mentioned anything about job prospects, interviews, or potential opportunities, the agent may have misinterpreted this as job acceptance 3. When you do reach someone by phone, ask them to review the call notes and clarify that you are still unemployed and conducting active work search 4. Request that they send an urgent correction to the claims examiner 5. Most importantly, keep certifying every week as if nothing happened The good news is that these administrative errors can absolutely be corrected, and when they are, you'll receive all back payments for the weeks incorrectly disqualified. The bad news is that it does take time - typically 2-3 weeks if you're persistent.
Thank you for the detailed breakdown. I'm working on the appeals now. I think I know what happened - I mentioned I had a promising interview scheduled for next week, but I definitely never said I accepted any job! I guess the agent just heard what she wanted to hear. So frustrating.
UPDATE: I finally managed to speak with someone at PA UC this afternoon! I used that Claimyr service someone mentioned and got through in about 30 minutes instead of endless busy signals. The representative was actually helpful and could see exactly what happened. The previous agent had coded my account with status code 'JA' (Job Acceptance) instead of 'JS' (Job Search) after I mentioned an upcoming interview. She's submitted an urgent correction request to have my claim reviewed and the disqualifications removed. She said it should be fixed within 3-5 business days and all my weeks will be reprocessed. I still submitted the formal appeals just in case, but she said this might resolve before the appeals even get processed. Thanks everyone for your help! What a nightmare this system is.
That's excellent news! The 'JA' vs 'JS' code mix-up happens more often than you'd think. Smart move to file the appeals anyway - always better to have multiple solutions in progress. Keep an eye on your dashboard over the next week, and if you don't see changes by day 6, call back. Glad you got through!

ok so i read all this advice and here's what I think you should do: 1. Apply for new claim about a week before current one ends 2. Keep doing weekly claims without missing any 3. Have your job offer letter ready to upload 4. Try to get thru on phone using that service someone mentioned 5. Maybe ask new job for ANY hours they can give before official start That's what I'd do anyway. good luck!
Thanks for summarizing! This is actually really helpful. I think this is exactly the plan I'm going to follow.
Just wanted to thank everyone for the advice. I'm going to file a new claim about a week before my current benefits end, keep all my documentation ready, try to get some partial hours from my new employer if possible, and use Claimyr to actually talk to someone if I hit any roadblocks. Will update if I run into any issues others might benefit from knowing about!

Update: The PA UC website appears to be coming back online. I just checked and was able to log in, though it's running very slowly. They've also posted an update saying that anyone whose filing day was today will have until tomorrow at 11:59 PM to complete their weekly certification without penalty. If you're still having trouble, try clearing your browser cache or using a different browser.

For future reference, does anyone know if theres a status page or somewhere that shows if the UC website is working or not? Would save me a lot of time instead of just trying over and over again when its down

•PA UC doesn't have an official system status page, unfortunately. The best places to check are their social media accounts (particularly Facebook and Twitter) where they usually post announcements about outages. You can also sign up for email/text alerts on their website once it's back up, which occasionally include maintenance notifications.
