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 direct deposit transaction numbers - do 115 prefixes indicate DD or paper check?

I'm really confused about my payment method. My PA UC payment was released on Thursday (says 'payment issued' on the portal), but it still hasn't hit my bank account today (Monday). When I check the transaction details, the number starts with '115'. Does anyone know if transaction numbers starting with 115 mean it's going through direct deposit or if they sent a paper check instead? I've always had direct deposit set up but I'm wondering if something got messed up with my last claim. Don't want to wait around for DD if they actually mailed a check!

THE WHOLE SYSTEM IS A MESS!!! I've had payments that said they were direct deposit but then got a check in the mail TWO WEEKS LATER. And other times they say check but it comes as direct deposit! The PA UC system is completely BROKEN and nobody there knows what they're doing. I wouldn't trust ANY information from their website or the transaction numbers. CALL THEM OVER AND OVER until you get through!!!

Yikes, that's concerning! I really hope I don't have to wait two weeks. I specifically set up direct deposit to avoid mail delays.

While there can definitely be frustrating glitches with the system, I've generally found the transaction numbers to be reliable indicators. If your portal shows direct deposit is set up and the transaction number starts with 115, it's almost certainly just a timing issue with the banks or a brief hold because of the new benefit year.

UPDATE: My payment just hit my bank account this morning! Looks like it was just a delay because of the new benefit year like some of you suggested. The transaction number starting with 115 was indeed for direct deposit. Thanks everyone for your help!

Great news! Thanks for updating us. This is helpful confirmation about the 115 prefix being for direct deposit payments.

PA UC 1099-G tax forms missing from Dashboard - where are they actually located?

Hey everyone, I've been waiting for my 1099-G unemployment tax forms to arrive in the mail for weeks now. Getting a bit anxious since it's almost time to file taxes and still nothing! Someone at the tax prep office told me they should be available on my UC Dashboard, but I've looked everywhere and can't find them. I've checked under 'My Benefits Plan' and 'Documents' tabs but no luck. Am I missing something obvious? Does anyone know exactly which tab they're under or how to access them? Really don't want to have to call the UC office since that's always a nightmare. Thanks in advance!

I had the EXACT same problem last week! Couldn't find it anywhere on dashboard. Turns out they moved it from where it was last year. The PA unemployment website is such a mess, they keep changing it and nothing is ever where you expect it to be.

0 coins

UPDATE: I found it! For anyone else looking, it's exactly where @profile2 said - under 'More Services' at the very bottom of the main account page (you have to scroll all the way down), then click on '1099-G Tax Form'. Not intuitive at all. Thanks everyone for your help!

3 weeks since PA UC appeal hearing with no decision - should I call or wait?

I had my UC appeal hearing exactly 3 weeks ago (Jan 22nd) and still haven't received ANY decision. The referee said I should hear something within 7-10 days but that window is long gone. Should I call the appeals office to check if my case fell through the cracks? I'm getting really worried because my landlord is pressuring me about rent and I've been stretching my savings to the absolute limit. Has anyone else experienced such a long wait time after their hearing? I've read that most people get their decisions within 1-2 weeks, so I'm scared this delay means they're going to deny me. Will calling the office somehow hurt my case or mark me as a "problem claimant"? I'm desperate for any advice!

i had my hearing on webcam and the decision came like 4 weeks later so dont worry

Just wanted to check in - did you ever get your decision? I'm curious what happened with your case.

congrats!! so happy for you!!

Great news! Make sure you continue filing your weekly claims on time while waiting for the payment to process. The back pay should arrive within 2-3 business days.

PA UC Dashboard Attachments Not Opening - Tried Multiple Devices

I'm having a super frustrating issue with my PA unemployment account. None of the attachments in my dashboard will open when I click on them. I've tried downloading my determination letters, the job search form, and even the overpayment notice I supposedly received (which is making me panic). I've tried using my laptop, my phone, and even my husband's computer but nothing works. Just spinning wheels then error messages. Has anyone else run into this problem? I'm worried I'm missing important deadlines because I can't see what these documents say!

Another thing to check - go to your PA UC inbox settings and make sure your email address is correctly entered. Sometimes the system glitches when sending notification emails about attachments, which can affect how they open in your dashboard. Also, if you're using a smartphone, download the official Adobe Reader app instead of trying to open PDFs in your browser. The mobile browser compatibility with the UC portal is notoriously bad.

UPDATE: I finally got it working! For anyone having the same problem, here's what worked for me: 1. Cleared all browser cache and cookies 2. Disabled my ad blocker completely 3. Downloaded Adobe Reader DC (not Adobe Acrobat) 4. Restarted my computer 5. Logged in through an incognito window Thank you everyone for your help! I can finally see my documents. Turns out I did have an overpayment notice but it's just for $87 from when I reported my part-time hours incorrectly. Much less scary than I imagined!

0 coins

Glad you got it working! And yes, overpayment notices always sound scarier than they sometimes are. Make sure to respond to that notice within the timeframe if you want to contest it. Even small overpayments can be appealed if you think the calculation is incorrect.

$87 isn't bad at all! Mine was $4,300!!! Still fighting it because it was THEIR mistake not mine!

Can I continue PA UC benefits after quitting new job due to misrepresented position and workplace smoking?

I started collecting PA unemployment in January after being laid off from my warehouse job. Last week I finally got hired somewhere and went to orientation on Monday. Tuesday was my first actual workday, but I couldn't go back because there was heavy smoking throughout the building (I have asthma) and they stuck me in shipping instead of customer service like they promised during the interview. I never would've accepted if I knew about either issue!\n\nMy question is - can I keep filing my weekly UC claims honestly (reporting the 1 day I worked) and still collect benefits? Or does accepting a job automatically end my claim even if I had good cause to quit after 1 day? I'm actively applying other places but worried about making rent next month if my benefits stop. Anyone deal with something similar?

One important thing to note - if your claim is under review for a voluntary quit, make sure you CONTINUE filing your weekly claims by your filing day each week, even if payments are temporarily stopped. If they determine in your favor, they'll release all held payments. If you stop filing during the investigation, you won't receive those back weeks even if you win your case.

0 coins

Thank you for the reminder! I'll definitely keep filing every week. My regular filing day is Thursday, so I'll make sure to keep doing that no matter what.
