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!

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 happened back in January too. I remember because my car payment was due and I had to call and explain the delay. PA Treasury does these maintenance periods every few months. My roommate got her deposit already though - she has the Money Network card instead of direct deposit.
Thanks for sharing that. Maybe I should switch to the Money Network card if this is going to be a regular thing. Do you know if there's a way to see when these maintenance periods are scheduled in advance?
Just got off the phone with UC (finally!). They confirmed it's a Treasury processing delay affecting all direct deposits that would normally go out Tuesday. Everything should be deposited by Thursday morning. The rep also mentioned that there will be a similar maintenance period in July, so mark your calendars. Hope this helps!
thx for the update!! good to know about july too
This is super helpful, thank you! I'll plan ahead for the July maintenance too.

My neighbor went thru something similar and what really helped was having written statements from coworkers who witnessed the harassment. Do you have anyone who would be willing to write a statement for you?
That's a great idea! I have two coworkers who witnessed a lot of the bad behavior and I think they'd be willing to write something. I'll reach out to them today.
Just to clarify something important: if the examiner determines you quit without good cause, they will NOT make you repay the benefits you received while on reduced hours before quitting. Those benefits were properly paid based on your eligibility at that time. The quit determination only affects benefits going forward from your last day of work.
Thank you SO much for clarifying that. I was having nightmares about having to pay back thousands I don't have. At least that's one less thing to worry about.

WHY does PA make EVERYTHING so complicated?? I swear they do this on purpose to stop people from getting their money. I had to call 47 TIMES before someone picked up to help with my card issue. The whole system is broken and nobody cares!!
agreed its pretty bad. my brother in ohio got his unemployment on a regular direct deposit to his bank account. why cant PA do that??? the cards are just another way for them to make it complicated
Did you ever get this resolved? I'm having the exact same issue right now with my Money Network card saying my account is unregistered. Been trying to figure it out all morning.
Yes! Finally got it working yesterday. The trick of pressing 0 twice worked to get me to a human. Turns out there was a typo in my date of birth in their system that was causing the verification to fail. The rep fixed it and walked me through the registration process. Now I can access everything online too. Definitely keep trying to reach someone directly!

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!
