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!

My cousin works in IT and she says clearing cache only works like 10% of the time when websites have problems. It's just what they tell people to get them off the phone. I had something similar happen last year but it was the blue payment history section that disappeared. They fixed it eventually but took like 2 weeks.

EXACTLY!! It's the standard "turn it off and on again" answer when they don't know how to fix something or don't want to deal with it. Classic PA UC - make us wait weeks for something that should work properly in the first place!

Update: PA UC just posted on their official Twitter that they're aware of the dashboard display issues affecting the progress bars. They expect it to be resolved by next Tuesday's maintenance. In the meantime, all claim information can be accessed through the individual menu options rather than the dashboard.

Thanks for the update! At least they acknowledged the problem. Good to know it should be fixed by next week.

ya she won! took like 3 weeks to get the decision letter but they ruled in her favor and she got all her backpay at once. she said the hearing was only like 20 mins too.

That's really encouraging to hear! I hope mine goes as smoothly. Did she have to wait long for her payments after the decision? I'm really getting worried about bills piling up while I wait for this to be resolved.

Based on everything you've shared, especially finding that policy in your handbook about excused medical absences, I think you have a strong case. Make sure to address these key points at your hearing: 1. Present your medical documentation and positive flu test 2. Show evidence that you followed the proper call-off procedures 3. Highlight the handbook policy that medical absences should be coded differently 4. Calmly explain the timeline of events 5. Bring evidence of any communication with your employer about your illness Stay focused on the facts and don't let emotions take over, even if the employer representative says things you disagree with. The referee is looking at whether your final absences meet the legal definition of willful misconduct, and documented illness with proper notification generally does not. Good luck, and please update us after your hearing!

Thank you so much for this clear checklist! I'm feeling much more prepared now. I will definitely update after my hearing on May 12th. Fingers crossed everything goes well!

UPDATE: My payment finally hit my card this morning! Looks like it was just a delay in the system. Thanks everyone for your help and reassurance - saved me from a total meltdown yesterday!

Great news! Glad it worked out. For future reference, if you ever do need to speak with a representative, try calling right when they open at 8:00 AM. The wait times are usually shortest first thing in the morning.

Great to hear you got through! For the employer dispute interview, make sure you have any documentation ready that proves you were laid off - termination letter, emails, texts, anything. And be ready to explain exactly what happened during your separation. These fact-finding interviews are really important for disputed claims.

0 coins

That's really helpful, thank you. I do have an email from my manager mentioning the layoff, so I'll have that ready. Fingers crossed this gets resolved after the interview!

0 coins

Good luck with the interview! They'll probably make you wait another month after that before approving anything. Make sure you record the call so they can't twist your words later!!

Just a heads up - Pennsylvania is a two-party consent state for recording, so you'd need to inform the interviewer you're recording and get their permission. Instead, I'd recommend taking detailed notes during the interview and requesting the interviewer's name and ID number. After the interview, send a follow-up message through your dashboard summarizing what was discussed.

Just a follow-up about legislative claims since there's some confusion in this thread - they DO move faster, but they don't change the eligibility rules. I got my determination in 8 days after my rep flagged my claim. Also, if you're sending in medical documentation, call your state rep's office again and let them know you've submitted everything so they can flag your file again. Sometimes files get "unstuck" but then sit in another queue unless the rep keeps checking on it.

Called my rep's office today and they confirmed they'll keep checking on it. The aide said they're following up on all their legislative claims weekly, which is reassuring. Medical docs went in yesterday via fax and certified mail (wasn't taking any chances).

Quick update on my earlier comment - regarding the text messages with your supervisor, YES these can absolutely count as evidence. Print them out, organize them by date, and highlight the parts where you requested accommodation and were denied. Note that if your case goes to a referee hearing (appeal), these would be admissible evidence. Also, if any coworkers witnessed your conversations about accommodation, get their statements in writing if possible. The more documentation you have, the stronger your case will be for showing you had necessitous and compelling reason to leave that job.
