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 on my previous comment - if your claim shows as approved but payments aren't processing, it could be what's called a "secondary review flag." These aren't visible to claimants in the portal but require a supervisor to manually release. Two specific things to try: 1. Ask specifically if there's a "payment authorization hold" or "secondary review flag" on your account when you call 2. Request an "escalation for hardship" due to potential eviction - this can move you up in the supervisor callback queue Also, continue filing your weekly claims WITHOUT FAIL during this waiting period. Missing even one week can create additional delays.
Thank you!! I'll specifically ask about those flags next time I call. And I've been religious about filing every single week even though it feels pointless. I'll definitely mention the hardship escalation too since I really am facing eviction.
Just an update - I contacted both my state rep AND used Claimyr to get through to an agent. The combination worked - got my backpay last week. OP, don't give up - just keep pushing from multiple angles. The system is designed to be difficult but not impossible.
I'm definitely going to try both approaches. At this point I have nothing to lose. Thanks for sharing what worked for you!

just had this happen!!! mine said issued tuesday and didnt hit my card til thursday afternoon. system is so broken anymore its ridiculous
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.

@commenter7 - Yes, Claimyr worked great for me! I was able to talk to an actual UC agent within about 25 minutes instead of calling for days and getting busy signals. It was worth it just to get my questions answered before my hearing. They just connect you directly to the PA UC phone queue without you having to redial a million times.

I had a somewhat similar situation where I was receiving WC benefits and tried to claim UC from a previous employer. Be extremely careful here - there are specific rules about what you need to report. If your WC is for total disability, then PA UC will likely deny benefits because you're not able to work. You mentioned you got hurt at your first job - are you still technically employed there but just collecting WC? If so, you'll need to explain that you're collecting WC from an employer you still work for (but are on leave from), while claiming UC from a different employer you no longer work for. I strongly recommend getting a formal determination from UC rather than guessing. Be 100% honest about your WC status when you apply. In my case, I was initially denied but was able to appeal and eventually received benefits.
Quick question - when u appealed, did u have to attend a hearing? I'm going thru something similar and just got a hearing notice in the mail and im freaking out about it.
Didnt u have to be lookin for work to get UC? How does that work with workers comp?
Good question. If you're on partial disability through Workers' Comp and are medically cleared for specific types of work, you can limit your work search to jobs within your medical restrictions. You'd still need to complete and document your work search activities each week (applying to jobs, attending interviews, etc.) but only for positions you're physically capable of performing. The PA UC system allows for this type of limitation as long as it's medically documented.

Based on what you've shared, you have a strong case for approval. "Position elimination due to departmental restructuring" is a clear non-fault reason. The fact that there were performance discussions in the past isn't disqualifying unless they can show you were fired specifically for misconduct or rule violations. Here's what to expect: 1. Initial "pending" status with "open issue" is normal 2. Your employer has 7 days to respond to your claim 3. If they don't contest, you could be approved in 2-3 weeks 4. If they do contest, you'll get a notice for a fact-finding interview 5. After the severance period, make sure you complete all weekly certifications 6. Document your job search activities (PA requires at least one per week) Stay positive - based on what you've shared, you'll likely be approved!
