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!

UPDATE: Finally got my issue fixed! Called the Treasury Dept (took 3 attempts to get through) and they said my new card wasn't properly linked to my claim. They fixed it on their end and said my next payment will go to the new card, but I'd need to call Money Network directly to transfer any pending payments. Called them and after 45 mins on hold they were able to transfer my funds. Money showed up on my new card about 4 hours later! Thanks everyone for your help!
Great news! Glad you got it sorted out. For future reference, whenever you get a replacement card, always call both PA Treasury and Money Network to make sure everything is properly linked. The system doesn't handle transitions between cards well at all.
Just a heads up for anyone else with this issue - I've heard that starting in August 2025, PA UC is finally updating their system to automatically transfer balances to replacement cards. Too late for many of us, but at least they're fixing it eventually!
ill believe it when i see it lol. theyve been promising updates to the system for years

my cousin waited 8 weeks for his first payment and they never even told him why... PA unemployment is the WORST!!
tell ur cousin to check if theres a problem with his payment method - my money was sitting in limbo for weeks because I had entered my routing number wrong on the direct deposit form!!! UC never notified me, I had to figure it out myself
FINAL UPDATE: Payment hit my account this morning!!!! Exactly 4 business days after talking to the agent. They even included all the back weeks I was owed. So glad I didn't just wait for the system to figure itself out. For anyone reading this later - if you have an open issue, definitely call them or use one of the methods suggested here to talk to someone directly. Don't just wait and hope!
That's fantastic! Thanks for coming back to update. This will definitely help others who find this thread later. And great job being proactive about resolving your issue instead of just waiting.

I went through something similar and PA unemployment is a JOKE. They sided with my employer initially even though I had proof. The whole system is rigged against workers. I spent MONTHS fighting for my benefits and had to get legal help. Just be prepared for a battle because employers almost always contest claims and UC often believes them first.
While it can certainly be frustrating, I've found that having clear documentation and following the process carefully makes a big difference in outcomes. The system isn't perfect, but many appeals are successful when claimants present evidence properly. Did you ultimately win your appeal?
Yes but only after 3 MONTHS of fighting and having to get help from the legal aid society! I was almost evicted waiting for the benefits I deserved. The system works eventually but it shouldn't be this hard when you're already dealing with losing your job.
Thanks everyone for all this advice. I contacted HR today and they confirmed they're processing my termination for "job abandonment" despite all my documentation showing I followed procedure. I'm going to file for UC tomorrow morning. I'm really nervous about the whole process but feeling better equipped with all your advice.
You're doing the right thing. Make sure to create an account on the PA UC website and have all your employment information ready (dates, wage information, etc.). When you explain the separation reason, be factual and concise - state that you provided proper notice for medical leave, were ready to return with doctor's clearance, but the employer refused to allow you back and claimed job abandonment despite your documentation proving otherwise. Good luck with your claim!

Did you activate the card? I know it sounds obvious but my husband didnt activate his and was wondering why no money was showing up lol
Haha yes, I called and activated it right away! That was actually the one part of this process that worked smoothly 😂
UPDATE: Just wanted to check back - did your funds appear on the card yet? Friday would be the typical timeframe for a Tuesday payment processing.
YES! The money just showed up this morning! You were exactly right about the timing. Such a relief to finally have access to the benefits. Thanks everyone for your help and reassurance!
Glad it worked out! Make sure you keep filing your weekly claims on time or they'll stop sending payments.

Just to follow up on my earlier comment - make sure you keep all documentation of your work hours (pay stubs, timesheets, etc.) in case there are any discrepancies. If your employer reports different hours than what you've claimed, that can significantly delay the resolution process. Also, when you receive the determination after review, check it carefully. Sometimes they'll adjust previous payments if they find your calculated partial benefit amount was incorrect. This could result in an overpayment notice if they determine you received more than you should have, or additional payments if you received less.

•I've been keeping all my pay stubs just in case! So if there's an overpayment, will they take it all from future payments or set up some kind of payment plan? Really hoping it doesn't come to that, but want to be prepared.

If you're concerned about the timeline, you can also check your PA UC dashboard for any updates. Sometimes they'll post messages about the review status there before you receive anything by mail. Regarding potential future reviews - they typically don't repeat this process unless there's a significant change in your reporting pattern or you have a new employer. The system is designed to verify once, then trust the established pattern unless something changes.
