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!

congrats on the new job! one thing nobody mentioned is u might need to report ur first day of work on ur last weekly certification. there's a question that asks if u refused work or returned to work. make sure u answer that correctly or they could hit u with an overpayment later
Thank you! And thanks for the tip - I definitely don't want to deal with an overpayment on top of everything else. I'll be sure to report my return to work date on my final certification.
Just wanted to follow up - since your claim has been pending for 6 weeks, you might qualify for a hardship acceleration. Call the UC service center and specifically mention financial hardship (risk of eviction, utility shutoff, etc.). This sometimes gets them to expedite the determination. And keep documenting everything in case you need to appeal or request a backdated determination.
This! My cousin got her claim expedited when she mentioned hardship. They processed her determination in like 3 days after weeks of waiting!

just wondering won't u have waiting week anyway if u reopen on 12/22? so maybe not even get paid for that one week?
Pennsylvania eliminated the waiting week requirement permanently after the pandemic. As long as the claim is already established, reopening doesn't trigger a waiting week anymore. So the OP should be eligible for payment for that partial week as long as they meet all other eligibility requirements.
Thanks everyone for the advice! I'm definitely going to reopen on 12/22 exactly, and file as quickly as possible after the week ends. Really hope the system handles it correctly because that week of benefits would really help with bills. Seems like timing is everything with PA UC!
One more tip - take screenshots of everything when you reopen and file that week. If there's any issue, you'll want documentation of what the system showed you and any confirmation numbers. Also, note that since you're returning to work on 1/3, make sure to report that correctly when you file for that partial week. Good luck!

UPDATE: I just checked my dashboard and the overpayment is STILL showing. It's been 5 days since I got the dismissal letter. Should I be worried? Has anyone had the system take longer than this to update after a dismissal?
Don't panic yet. Their system updates can take 7-14 business days sometimes. If it's still showing after two full weeks, then you should try contacting them. Bring your dismissal letter if you need to visit an in-person UC office.
UPDATE 2: Good news everyone! The overpayment finally disappeared from my account today (two weeks after getting the dismissal letter). What a relief! Thanks to everyone who helped calm me down and explained what was happening. This system is so confusing and stressful to navigate.
awesome! told u it would work out 👍

UPDATE: Money just hit my card this morning (Monday)! So it ended up taking 5 business days rather than the 1-2 they promised. Thanks everyone for the reassurance - you were right that I just needed to be patient. For anyone else in this situation, definitely trust that the process is working but expect delays beyond what they tell you.

Just wanted to give you a heads up that when the card DOES arrive, you have to activate it immediately!! I made the mistake of waiting a couple days to activate mine because I was busy, and it triggered some kind of security protocol where I had to verify my identity AGAIN. Such a headache! Also make sure to create your Money Network online account right away so you can track your balance and payments.

UPDATE: I decided to try that Claimyr service someone mentioned and actually got through to a UC agent! The agent confirmed my card was mailed on January 7th (not the 4th when I was approved). She said there was a backlog of card requests and that's why it took a few extra days to actually send it. According to her, I should receive it by tomorrow or Friday at the latest. She also helped me set up direct deposit for future payments so I won't have to deal with this card stress again! Thanks everyone for your help!

•Great news! Setting up direct deposit is definitely the way to go for future payments. Much more reliable than waiting for mail.
