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!

Did you activate the card? I know it sounds obvious but my husband didnt activate his and was wondering why no money was showing up lol
Haha yes, I called and activated it right away! That was actually the one part of this process that worked smoothly 😂
UPDATE: Just wanted to check back - did your funds appear on the card yet? Friday would be the typical timeframe for a Tuesday payment processing.
YES! The money just showed up this morning! You were exactly right about the timing. Such a relief to finally have access to the benefits. Thanks everyone for your help and reassurance!
Glad it worked out! Make sure you keep filing your weekly claims on time or they'll stop sending payments.

Actually, I think there IS a minimum weekly benefit amount in PA - isn't it like $68 or something? So maybe you won't get that $11 after all? The system is probably just showing your remaining balance.
That's not quite right. The minimum weekly benefit amount of $68 applies to how your claim is initially calculated, not to your final payment. Your final payment can be for any amount less than your weekly benefit rate. The system will pay whatever remaining balance you have, even if it's just $1.
By the way, make sure you're using your reference number when filing that final claim. I know it sounds obvious, but I accidentally used my old reference number from a previous benefit year when filing my last claim and it caused a huge mess. Double-check all your info before submitting!
Good point - I'll double check everything. With my luck, one wrong entry would probably delay things by weeks!

My first payment took exactly 5 business days after the payment date showed up in my portal. And I didn't even change any banking info. The PA UC system is just ridiculously slow! But the good news is once you get that first payment, the rest come like clockwork. Every week on the same day for me.
UPDATE: I was able to speak with a UC rep this morning (used Claimyr and got through in about 30 mins). They confirmed my payment is scheduled to be deposited tomorrow! The rep said changing the direct deposit info did cause a short verification hold, but since it's been processed now, I should see the funds by tomorrow afternoon. Such a relief - just in time to pay my landlord.
Awesome! Glad it worked out!

Just to update with some additional clarification: The approval with a pending appeal period is standard procedure. If your former employer doesn't respond by 6/20, the system should automatically release your payment within 3-5 business days after that date. On rare occasions, employers will appeal old claims if they think there's a mistake. However, since you only claimed 4 weeks and it's been 3 years, it's unlikely your former employer will bother. They'd have to demonstrate you weren't eligible at that time, which would require them to dig up old records and attend a hearing. If you want peace of mind, check both your payment status and your message center regularly after 6/20.
This is very helpful, thank you. I'll check back after the 20th and hope for the best!
Just make sure your banking info is updated in the system if it's changed since 2022! I had a similar situation and my payment went to a closed account, which caused another whole month of delays to get it straightened out.
Oh! I haven't even thought about that. I definitely need to update my direct deposit info. Thank you!

•tell ur cousin to check if theres a problem with his payment method - my money was sitting in limbo for weeks because I had entered my routing number wrong on the direct deposit form!!! UC never notified me, I had to figure it out myself

FINAL UPDATE: Payment hit my account this morning!!!! Exactly 4 business days after talking to the agent. They even included all the back weeks I was owed. So glad I didn't just wait for the system to figure itself out. For anyone reading this later - if you have an open issue, definitely call them or use one of the methods suggested here to talk to someone directly. Don't just wait and hope!
