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!

whats this tour company if u dont mind me asking? my cousin is looking for work like that
It's a small company called Heritage Walking Tours that does specialized history tours. They're only hiring 3 new guides right now and the positions are filled, but they said they'll be expanding in summer 2025 if your cousin is still looking then!
One other important thing to remember - if your training pay is significant, it might put you over the partial benefit threshold for that week. For example, if your weekly benefit amount is $400 and your partial benefit credit is $100, then earning more than $500 in a week would make you ineligible for benefits that specific week. But you would still be eligible for the following weeks when you have no earnings until your job officially starts in March. Just make sure to answer all weekly claim questions honestly. Better to have one week without benefits than to risk an overpayment issue later on.
Thank you for explaining this! My weekly benefit is $320, and the training only pays $150, so I should still get partial benefits that week. I'll definitely report everything accurately - not worth the risk of dealing with overpayment issues down the road.

Update: I took everyone's advice and checked everything again. Found out my IDme verification wasn't properly linked to my claim! Fixed that issue, and THEN discovered there was an open issue about my last employer that never showed up in notifications. Finally got through to someone (thanks for the Claimyr tip - it actually worked!) and they said my claim should be processed within 5-7 business days now that everything's sorted. So relieved!
Great to hear you got it resolved! For anyone else reading this thread, this is a common issue. Always double-check your IDme verification AND check for open issues even if you don't receive notifications about them. The PA UC system often fails to send alerts about problems with claims. Document everything and note the name of any rep you speak with along with the date/time.
My claim was stuck for almost a month last fall because of an employer response issue. If your former employer contests anything or even just doesn't respond quickly, your claim sits in limbo. The annoying part is PA UC doesn't tell you this is happening! You have to call and specifically ask about employer responses. The system is designed to be frustrating I swear.
You're absolutely right. The PA UC system doesn't proactively communicate enough information to claimants. A staggering 37% of claims experience delays due to employer response issues, according to PA Labor & Industry data from last quarter. Always request specific information about employer responses when checking on delayed claims.

my wifes claim took exactly 26 days in february when she got laid off. they never contacted her once during the entire time, just suddenly got an email saying she was approved. make sure ur checking the portal everyday because sometimes they dont even notify you when things change
Thanks everyone for all the advice! I'm on day 22 now, so it sounds like I'm still within the normal timeframe (even though it feels like forever!). I'm going to keep filing my weekly claims and if nothing changes by next week, I'll try using that Claimyr service to get through to someone at UC. Really appreciate all your help and suggestions - this waiting game is so stressful when bills are due!
That sounds like a good plan. Just make sure you're completing and documenting your required work search activities each week (applying to jobs, attending workshops, etc.). The last thing you want is to finally get approved and then discover you're missing some of those requirements. Good luck!

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
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!

•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.
