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!

One additional tip: whenever you're dealing with backpay, make sure you have very clear documentation of your original claim dates, confirmation numbers, and any correspondence. I had success getting my backpay by creating a simple timeline document that showed exactly when I filed, when I was eligible, and why I was owed the money. Having this ready when I finally got through to a UC agent made the process much smoother since they could immediately understand my case.
That's really smart. I'm going to create a document like that tonight so I'm prepared whenever I do get through to someone. I have screenshots of everything, thankfully.

So I actually did win my appeal! What worked for me was I had some text messages with my supervisor about my last day and a coworker who testified for me. Also I wrote down a timeline of everything that happened with as many specific dates as I could remember. The judge said my testimony was more consistent than my employers. They kept changing their story about why I was fired and it made them look bad. Just tell your friend to be super prepared and answer questions honestly and directly.
This is so helpful! She does have some text messages about shifts, so we'll definitely organize those. Did you have a lawyer or did you represent yourself?
did it myself! they make the process pretty simple and the judge asked me questions directly. just be organized and you'll be fine!
my uncle works at the unemployment office lol and he says most employers don't even show up to these hearings. if they don't show up ur friend automaticly wins
This isn't accurate. If the employer doesn't show up, it doesn't guarantee an automatic win. The referee will still review the case file and make a determination based on available evidence. While it certainly helps if the employer isn't there to present their side, your friend still needs to be prepared to explain why she was eligible for benefits.

mines still not there wtf this is so unfair
If your payment doesn't appear by tomorrow morning, there might be an issue specific to your claim. Check if there are any new messages in your UC inbox or any action items you need to complete. If everything looks normal, you should try contacting UC directly to inquire about the status.
UPDATE: For anyone else checking this thread with the same issue - my payment hit my Money Network card this morning, only one day later than usual. So it was just a processing delay like everyone suggested!
Thanks for updating! Always good to know when things resolve themselves. The UC system gets overloaded sometimes but usually corrects within a day or two. I always get nervous too when my payments are late.

I had a similar situation last year where my base period was missing an entire quarter of wages (about $12,000 worth). I filed the wage protest and kept receiving my original benefit amount while they reviewed everything. When they approved it about 5 weeks later, they increased my weekly benefit AND paid me the difference for all the weeks I'd already claimed at the lower amount. Make sure you have documentation for EVERYTHING. I included: - All paystubs - W2 forms - Letter from my employer confirming dates and wages - Copy of my work schedule showing regular hours Be super thorough with your evidence and it should go smoothly without interrupting your current payments.
this is NOT always true!! my cousins benefits got stopped for 2 months when she did a wage protest!! depends on if they flag ur account for review. the system is total garbage sometimes things work right sometimes they dont
UPDATE: I was able to get through to a UC rep using that Claimyr service someone recommended. The agent confirmed that filing a wage protest using form UC-1921W will NOT stop my current benefits while they review my missing wages. She also said I should expect it to take 4-6 weeks for processing. I'm gathering all my paystubs now and will submit everything tomorrow. Thank you everyone for your help! What a relief to know I won't lose my current payments while waiting for the correction.
Great to hear! Just make sure you keep filing your weekly claims while the protest is being processed. Also, take pictures or make copies of EVERYTHING you send them. The UC office has been known to lose documents. If you're mailing anything, send it certified mail with tracking and delivery confirmation.

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.

•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

•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.
