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!

I had almost the same situation in April. After trying for weeks to get through i managed to talk to someone who told me there was a "wage investigation" happening because I had worked in both PA and Delaware last year. Nobody told me this was happening! Once I knew what was going on I was able to upload my W2s and within a week it was resolved. You HAVE to talk to someone to find out what's happening.

Thanks for sharing your experience. I worked for the same company the whole time so I doubt it's a wage investigation for me, but you're right that I need to actually talk to someone to figure it out. Going to try calling again tomorrow morning when they first open.

@OP - were you able to get through? Any updates on your claim?

I finally got through yesterday! Turns out there was an issue with my identity verification (even though I did the IDme verification when I first applied). The agent was able to clear it right away. She said my payments should start processing within 3-5 business days and I'll get all the back weeks. Such a relief! Thanks everyone for your help and suggestions.

Also be prepared to wait FOREVER even after you get the card to access your money!!! When I finally got mine, the website made me wait 24 MORE HOURS after activating before I could transfer the money to my bank!!! Why?? Just another way they make it IMPOSSIBLE to get OUR MONEY that WE PAID INTO THE SYSTEM!!!

Just following up - did you ever get your Money Network card? Did calling them help resolve the issue?

0 coins

Yes! Finally got it yesterday actually. Turns out it was sent to my old address even though my current address was correctly listed in the UC portal. The Money Network rep explained that sometimes there's a delay in address updates between systems. They're sending a replacement to my correct address and waived the expedite fee since it was their error. Thanks everyone for the advice - especially the tip about checking through the automated system!

Hey, I work for an accounting firm and we see this issue frequently with clients. The most effective approach is a two-pronged attack: 1. With the IRS: File Form 14039 (Identity Theft Affidavit) AND write a detailed letter of explanation with your tax return. Include copies (never originals) of the PA UC fraud confirmation letters. Even without a corrected 1099-G, the IRS can place an identity theft marker on your account. 2. With PA UC: Request to speak specifically with the 1099-G Correction Unit or Fraud Investigation Department. Regular agents aren't trained or authorized to handle these corrections. Be extremely specific that you need a CORRECTED 1099-G showing zero benefits received. Also, check if your employer received any false unemployment claims in your name during that period - they sometimes have additional documentation that can help your case.

Thank you for this detailed advice! I did file the Form 14039 back in 2021 when this first happened, but I haven't been including copies of the fraud confirmation letters with my tax returns. I'll definitely do that this year. And I'll ask my employer if they have any documentation - that's a great idea I hadn't considered.

Any updates on your situation? Were you able to reach the right department using the information people shared?

I finally got through yesterday using that Claimyr service someone mentioned! The agent connected me with the Fraud Investigation Unit and they confirmed they can issue a corrected 1099-G. They said it should take 4-6 weeks, but at least it's finally in process. I also contacted my state rep's office as a backup in case it doesn't come through. Thank you all for the help - I was ready to give up!

i had this exact problem when i tried to appeal my overpayment notice last month! ended up faxing it from a UPS store and it went through fine. got my appeal hearing date in the mail about 10 days later

0 coins

One more thing to try - the PA UC website works better during off-hours. Try submitting your appeal online between 7-8am or after 8pm when fewer people are using the system. That's when I've had the most success with uploads working properly.

That's a great tip, thanks! I'll try early tomorrow morning. I appreciate everyone's help with this!

my check came today but informed delivery didnt show it. sometimes the system just misses stuff. i bet it will be in your mailbox today anyway.

0 coins

UPDATE: Check just arrived!!! Mail carrier came late today (around 4pm instead of noon). So seems like USPS just didn't scan it for Informed Delivery and also delivered later than usual. Thanks everyone for calming me down!!

nice!! told ya not to worry lol

Glad to hear it arrived! For future reference, you might want to look into the direct deposit option again. It really does eliminate all these mail-related anxieties. If your bank account was flagged before, try contacting your bank first to let them know you're setting up a government direct deposit, then try the UC system again.
