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!

Regarding the double waiting week issue - that's definitely not normal. Even with a new benefit year, there should only be one waiting week per benefit year. I suspect there might be a system error where your claim status wasn't properly updated. For the overpayment, you really need to speak with a representative to get the details. It could be a retroactive determination based on wage verification, an employer protest, or even an identity verification issue. Without knowing what weeks they're claiming were overpaid, it's hard to determine the cause.
Thanks for confirming the waiting week shouldn't be like this. I'm going to keep trying to reach someone and maybe try that service someone mentioned if I can't get through by the end of the week.
My cousin works at the unemployment office (not in PA though) and she says their computers are super outdated and sometimes just generate errors like this. But you definitely need to address it either way because they won't just make it go away. Good luck!
That actually makes me feel a little better - hoping it's just a system error. Thanks!

THE PA UC SYSTEM IS LITERALLY DESIGNED TO CONFUSE PEOPLE!!! They WANT you to make mistakes so they can deny benefits!! I bet they're hoping you'll get frustrated and give up. This happened to me and they ended up putting an "open issue" on my claim for 6 WEEKS before finally paying me. The system is BROKEN by design!!!
While the system definitely has problems, this particular question is actually standard procedure when your last day of work falls within a claim week. It's not a trick - they just need to know about any work/earnings during each week you're claiming benefits.
UPDATE: Just wanted to let everyone know my payment went through fine! It was slightly reduced from what I expected (they deducted the Saturday I worked), but otherwise everything processed correctly. For anyone with the same issue - if your last day of work falls in your first claim week, just explain that in the box and you should be good.
Glad it worked out! Future weeks should be smooth sailing now.

Anyone know if theres a way to file weekly claims by phone when website isnt working? My cousin said she did this once when her internet was down
Yes, you can file by phone using PAT (Pennsylvania Automated Teleclaims) at 888-255-4728. However, you'll still need your PIN, and if your account has a security lock, this might not work either. Worth trying though!
Thank you! I didn't know about the phone option. I'll try that too if I still can't get online in the morning.
UPDATE: I got in! I tried at 6:30am and the error was gone. Looks like a combination of trying early morning + waiting 24 hours since my last login attempt did the trick. Weekly claim is now filed! Thanks everyone for your help and suggestions.
awesome!! glad it worked out
Great news! For anyone else reading this thread in the future - this confirms that E4532 is likely a temporary security timeout that self-resolves after a waiting period.

Update: The PA UC website appears to be coming back online. I just checked and was able to log in, though it's running very slowly. They've also posted an update saying that anyone whose filing day was today will have until tomorrow at 11:59 PM to complete their weekly certification without penalty. If you're still having trouble, try clearing your browser cache or using a different browser.
It's working for me now too! Just completed my weekly claim. Thanks everyone for your help. I was really starting to panic.
For future reference, does anyone know if theres a status page or somewhere that shows if the UC website is working or not? Would save me a lot of time instead of just trying over and over again when its down
PA UC doesn't have an official system status page, unfortunately. The best places to check are their social media accounts (particularly Facebook and Twitter) where they usually post announcements about outages. You can also sign up for email/text alerts on their website once it's back up, which occasionally include maintenance notifications.

•That's why I finally tried that Claimyr service. I was skeptical but desperate after weeks of trying. Finally getting through to someone was worth it because they fixed my issue in literally 5 minutes once I explained what was happening.

When your payments do resume, they should include all the back weeks at once. Make sure you keep filing your weekly claims even while payments are delayed - if you stop filing, you'll have to reopen your claim which creates even more delays. Also, double-check that your payment method hasn't changed in the system. Sometimes the system randomly switches from direct deposit back to debit card or vice versa.

•That's a relief to hear they'll pay the back weeks all at once. I've definitely kept filing every week even though nothing's being paid. I'll check my payment method right now to make sure it hasn't changed. Thanks!
