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!

Just to follow up on your original question - you mentioned you were collecting "until benefits exhausted" - just to clarify, did you use up all your benefit amount before reaching your BYE date? Or do you mean you were collecting right up until now when your BYE is happening? The reason I ask is because if you exhausted your benefits weeks/months ago and haven't been filing weekly claims since then, you'll want to make sure you're eligible for a new benefit year beyond just having enough wages. There are some requirements about continued filing that could affect your new claim.

Good question - I used up all available benefits about 3 weeks ago, so I've had a small gap where I couldn't claim anything. The system wouldn't let me file weekly claims after I exhausted the balance, even though my BYE hadn't hit yet. Will that cause any problems with the new application?

0 coins

That's normal. Once you exhaust benefits, you can't file weekly claims even if your benefit year is still active. Since you're filing a new application after your BYE, that gap won't affect your eligibility as long as you have sufficient qualifying wages in your base period. When you file tomorrow, the system will ask if you've worked since your last UC application. Make sure to include ALL employment since your original claim in December 2022, with accurate start/end dates and employer information. Any missing employment information can delay your claim processing.

did u check if ur payment has a pay date yet? theres always a pay date listed before the money actually hits ur card

0 coins

Just checked - yes! The pay date shows as tomorrow! So hopefully that means the money will be on my card by Friday? This is my first time dealing with unemployment so still learning how it all works.

0 coins

If your pay date is listed as tomorrow, you should see funds on your ReliaCard within 1-2 business days after that date. ReliaCard deposits usually happen very early in the morning, so check first thing. One last tip - make sure you've downloaded the ReliaCard mobile app if you haven't already. It will give you instant notifications when deposits hit your card, which is much more reliable than just checking your balance periodically. The app also lets you transfer funds to your regular bank account if needed.

That's super helpful! I didn't know there was an app - going to download it right now. Appreciate everyone's help explaining all this!

One more thing to be aware of - once you get your card, you'll need to activate it before you can access your funds. And if you want to transfer the money to your bank account instead of using the card, you can do that through the Money Network mobile app or website. There's usually no fee for ACH transfers to your bank, but it takes 2-3 business days. If you need the money faster, you can withdraw cash at an ATM (there may be fees depending on which ATM you use) or use the card for purchases.

Thank you! That's super helpful. I'll definitely set up the transfer to my bank once I get the card. What a mess this has been. I can't believe they just switch your payment method without any notification.

I just checked and mine finally came through too! That was stressful. I wish they'd put a notice on the website or something when these delays happen instead of leaving everyone panicking and jamming up the phone lines.

0 coins

They'll NEVER do that because they don't care about us. If they actually communicated about delays, they might have to ADMIT there are problems with their precious system. I've been dealing with these random delays for almost 2 years and not ONCE have they ever posted any kind of notice. We're just supposed to sit here and stress while they take their sweet time with OUR MONEY.

this happened to me back in january too, always seems to happen when theres bad weather wonder if thats related?? my brother works at a bank and he says sometimes the ACH system gets backed up

0 coins

Your brother is correct. The ACH (Automated Clearing House) system that processes direct deposits operates in batches. Weather events, high volume processing days, and technical issues can all cause delays. The PA Treasury processes the payments once your UC claim is approved, then it goes through the ACH system before hitting your bank. Delays can happen at any stage, but as long as your payment shows 'issued' in the portal, it's usually just a matter of waiting.

btw make sure u certified for ur benefits on time every week or they can delay ur payments

0 coins

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!
