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!

For anyone dealing with CareerLink frustrations, here's what worked for me: I attended one of their virtual workshops (counts as a work search activity!) and asked the presenter directly about the expired job listings. She explained that they're required to keep listings up for a certain period even after the position is filled, but gave us tips on identifying the most current ones. She also shared her email and said we could contact her directly for current listings - way more helpful than the website!
how do u find the virtual workshops? i looked on the website but couldnt find any scheduled
To answer the question about virtual job fairs: According to current PA UC guidelines, a virtual job fair counts as ONE work search activity, regardless of how many employers you speak with. However, if you follow up with specific employers after the fair with formal applications, each of those can count as separate activities in subsequent weeks. Also, attending a CareerLink workshop counts as one activity, posting your resume on an employment website counts as one, and creating a profile on a job search site counts as one. You need a minimum of two per week, but it's always good to do more.
Thank you for the clear explanation! I've got a virtual workshop scheduled for tomorrow, and I'll make sure to do at least one more activity this week to hit the minimum requirement. Really appreciate everyone's help with navigating this confusing system.

wait so is this regular UC or PUA? cuz those r different payment systems i think
PUA ended in 2021. All current claims would be regular UC, Extended Benefits, or UCFE (for federal employees). The payment timeline is the same for all current programs though - typically 2-3 business days after approval.

Just to clarify for everyone in this thread - there are several common reasons claims get stuck in pending status for weeks: 1. Identity verification issues (IDme) 2. Employer response discrepancies 3. Missing work search documentation 4. Prior overpayment flags on your account 5. Wage investigation needed If you can get through to PA UC (either directly or via Claimyr), ask specifically which of these issues is affecting your claim. Different problems require different documentation to resolve. Also, while waiting for resolution, remember to keep filing your weekly claims even though you're not receiving payments yet. Once your claim is approved, you'll receive all eligible back weeks in a lump sum payment to your Money Network card or direct deposit.
This is really helpful - thank you! I have been continuing to file my weekly claims but wasn't sure if that was the right thing to do. I'm hoping it's not an identity verification issue since I completed the IDme process right after applying. When I do speak with someone (either through my rep or directly), I'll specifically ask which of these issues is holding things up.
Last winter I was waiting forever too and tried everything. Funny enough what ended up working was reaching out on the PA UC Facebook page. I sent them a direct message explaining my situation (without any personal info) and they got back to me asking for my claim number through private message. Within 48 hours someone from UC called me! Might be worth trying alongside the state rep approach.
omg i never thought about trying facebook!! thats actually pretty smart cuz they probably dont want bad publicity on social media lol. wish id known that trick when i was waiting

UPDATE: I FINALLY got through to someone! Turns out it was a system glitch because my claim had hit exactly 26 weeks total (counting the weeks I didn't claim when I briefly had a job in February). The rep said sometimes when claims hit certain milestones, the system automatically does a review and can incorrectly apply a waiting week during that process. She removed the waiting week designation and said my payment should process normally within 2-3 business days. She also mentioned they're seeing this happen more frequently lately and are working on a fix. So if this happens to anyone else, keep calling until you get through - it's definitely an error they can fix! Thanks everyone for your help!

•THIS is why I tell everyone to DOCUMENT EVERYTHING with PA UC! Take screenshots of every confirmation page, write down what questions you answered and how. The system makes so many mistakes and then YOU have to prove what happened!
