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!

To clarify what was mentioned above: when your benefit year ends in June 2025, you could potentially qualify for a new UC claim if you've worked enough during your current benefit year to meet the financial eligibility requirements. But there's no automatic extension of your current 26 weeks. You would need enough qualifying wages in the base year for a new claim. Sounds like you'll exhaust your 26 weeks in February, and then would need to find work until you potentially qualify for a new claim after June. The key is whether you've worked enough during this current benefit year to establish financial eligibility for a new claim.
Oh I see. Since I haven't worked much since last June when I lost my job, I probably won't qualify for a new claim. That's really depressing. Guess I need to take any job I can find before February. Thanks for explaining.
My brother just went thru this too! Ended up taking a job at half his previous salary just to keep the lights on. PA used to have State Extended Benefits but they haven't been triggered in years. It really is just the 26 weeks now.
And they wonder why so many people are falling behind on their mortgages and drowning in credit card debt! The system is working EXACTLY as intended - keeping workers desperate and willing to accept anything!

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?
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!

my cousin waited 8 weeks for his first payment and they never even told him why... PA unemployment is the WORST!!
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!
That's fantastic! Thanks for coming back to update. This will definitely help others who find this thread later. And great job being proactive about resolving your issue instead of just waiting.

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.
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.

While we're waiting for the system to let us file, does anyone know if holiday pay counts against unemployment? My company paid us for Christmas day even though we were laid off that week.

•Yes, holiday pay does count as earnings for unemployment purposes in PA. When you file your weekly certification, you'll need to report any holiday pay received for days within that claim week. The system will calculate partial benefits if your holiday pay doesn't exceed your weekly benefit amount.

Update: I waited until 01/07 as everyone suggested, and you were all right! The system let me file for both weeks I was off work. Everything went smoothly and I just got my first payment deposited to my Money Network card today. Thanks everyone for the help and preventing me from panicking and potentially messing up my claim by trying to "fix" something that wasn't broken!
