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!

PA UC payment date shows 8/15 - will deposit arrive Wednesday or Thursday?

Just checked my UC account and it shows my payment date as 8/15. Anyone know if this means the money will hit my Money Network card on Wednesday or Thursday? This is my 3rd payment but the previous ones got delayed so i'm not sure what the actual timeframe is. Really need it by Thursday for rent payment!!

Quick update follow-up: If you're really in a bind with timing, remember that Money Network cards let you get cash advances from certain ATMs and bank tellers as soon as the money is on your card. Some landlords might accept a money order which you can purchase with the card at places like Walmart or grocery stores. Just trying to give you some options!

That's actually really helpful, thank you! My landlord might accept a money order if I explain the situation. Appreciate the suggestion!

UPDATE: Payment just hit my card this morning (Friday)! Thanks everyone for the help and advice. Going to get a money order for my landlord right now.

Strange 'Processing/Missing Wages' Message When Filing PA UC Weekly Claim - Anyone Else?

I've been on seasonal UC for about 4 months without any problems filing my weekly claims. Today when I tried to file, instead of the usual confirmation, I got this weird message saying my claim is 'processing' and that I'd hear from a representative about 'missing wages'? This makes zero sense since I haven't had ANY wages to report since I started collecting UC. The only recent change is that my company is slowly bringing people back (out of about 25 employees, they've called back like 3-4 people so far). I've worked at the same place for 7+ years and always collect unemployment during our slow season without issues. Should I just wait for them to call me? Or should I try to get ahead of this by using email/chat? Really worried this is going to delay my payment when I need it for bills next week!

Just wanted to follow up - were you able to get through to anyone? I'm curious what caused your issue since I might be facing the same thing soon as my company is also starting to bring people back.

After three days of trying, I finally got through! Turns out my employer submitted a form saying they were

PA UC claim stuck in review since 12/6/23 - Worth contacting state rep?

Hey everyone, I submitted my first PA unemployment claim on December 6th and it's been sitting in 'review' status ever since. I've checked my dashboard repeatedly and there's no indication of any outstanding issues according to UC. What's frustrating is I've been reading through so many posts where people filed at the beginning of 2023 and are STILL waiting for resolution! I'm getting worried that I'm headed down the same path. I've noticed several people mentioning they contacted their state representative or other officials to help push their claims forward. Did anyone actually see results after reaching out to a state rep? Was it worth the effort? And if so, does anyone have a reliable phone number or email address I should use to contact them? I'm getting anxious about bills piling up while this drags on.

ANOTHER TIP: When you contact your state rep, be super specific about your financial hardship. I mentioned I was 2 weeks away from eviction (which was true) and that seemed to light a fire under them. Not saying to lie but definitely make it clear if you're facing serious consequences from the delay.

yep this works they prioritize hardship cases for sure my buddy got his claim fixed in like 3 days when he mentioned his utilities were about to be shut off

Update: I tried calling PA UC all morning and just got busy signals. I found my state rep's contact info and filled out their unemployment assistance form online. The confirmation email said they typically respond within 2 business days, so I'll update here if anything changes with my claim. Thanks everyone for the advice!

Good move! Be prepared to provide your state rep with your claim confirmation number, the last 4 digits of your SSN, and the date you filed when they reach out. The more information you can provide upfront, the faster they can assist you.

Keep us posted!! Hope it works out quickly for you!

Locked out of PA UC account with pending appeal deadline - need help ASAP!

I'm in a serious bind and panicking a bit. Got locked out of my PA unemployment account after too many failed login attempts (my fault, I know). The problem is I have an appeal I need to submit by THIS FRIDAY for a determination that denied my benefits over a quit that was actually a layoff. The employer reported it wrong! Each time I try to reset my PIN it says my information doesn't match their records. I've called the PA UC number at least 30 times today and either get a busy signal or the automated message saying they're too busy. Has anyone dealt with being locked out while facing an appeal deadline? Is there some way to submit an appeal without accessing my online account? My bills are stacking up and I REALLY need to get this appeal filed before the deadline passes!

I just went through all this last month! My account got locked and I had an appeal to file for being denied benefits when I was actually laid off. I ended up just driving to the CareerLink office in [city] and they helped me submit the appeal right there. Took like 45 minutes total including wait time. Way easier than trying to call. Just bring your ID and determination letter.

0 coins

UPDATE: I got my appeal submitted! Used Claimyr this morning after trying to call for hours with no luck. Got through to an agent in about 30 minutes who unlocked my account AND helped me file the appeal electronically. They also noted in my file that I had been trying to submit before the deadline but was locked out. Such a relief! Now just have to wait for the actual appeal hearing I guess. Thanks everyone for your help!

Great news! For the appeal hearing, make sure you gather any evidence showing it was actually a layoff (emails, texts, termination notice, etc.). If you have any coworkers who were laid off at the same time, their statements could help too. Good luck!

PA UC appeal hearing for driver termination - can 'unsafe to drive due to fatigue' win my case?

I've got my UC appeal hearing coming up next week and I'm super nervous about it. I worked as a limo driver for almost 2 years and was fired over what they're calling "unauthorized use of company vehicle" but that's totally not what happened.\n\nHere's the situation: I normally took the company car home between shifts (this was standard practice). After a late night run, I didn't get home until 3:30am. My boss suddenly texted saying I needed to return the vehicle by 11am that morning, even though my next shift wasn't starting until 3pm that day. I texted back explaining I was exhausted after the long night and didn't feel SAFE driving in that condition, but would bring it back a few hours before my shift after getting some rest.\n\nHe responded saying I'd "regret not bringing it back now" and then sent someone to my house to collect the car! They also canceled all my scheduled rides for that day, and I never got another assignment again. Complete termination over prioritizing SAFETY.\n\nDuring my initial UC interview, I explained all this but was denied benefits because they claimed I violated company policy. But there was NOTHING in our employee handbook saying we couldn't take reasonable safety precautions!\n\nDoes anyone have experience with similar PA UC appeals? Will my argument about being too fatigued to safely drive help my case? Do I need any specific documentation to bring to the hearing? This is my first time going through an appeal and I'm totally stressed out about it.

One more thing to consider: if your employer doesn't attend the hearing (which happens fairly often), your chances of winning increase significantly. The referee will still review the employer's submitted statements, but without them there to cross-examine you or provide additional testimony, your account will carry more weight.\n\nAlso, don't forget that even if you lose the appeal, you can request a Board Review, which is essentially a second appeal. You'd want to do this within 15 days of receiving the referee's decision if it goes against you.

That's good to know! Do you know if the company is required to tell me beforehand whether they'll attend? Also, if I win the appeal, will I get all the back benefits from when I first applied?
