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!

Just got my card yesterday after waiting almost 4 weeks! The system is so slow right now but at least the money is already there when the card finally arrives. Hang in there!
Thanks for sharing! Glad yours finally came. Hoping mine comes soon too!
UPDATE: My card finally arrived today! Exactly 17 days after my first payment was approved. The envelope really is plain white with just a return address from Tennessee - I almost missed it! Thanks everyone for your help and reassurance.
Great news! Glad it arrived without you having to make any calls. Make sure to activate it right away and set up your account preferences for how you want to manage your benefits going forward.
told ya it would come! 👍

i would just keep claiming weeks and wait it will probly fix itself thats what happened with my brothers claim the system is just slow sometimes
This is unfortunately incorrect advice for this specific situation. When weeks are in this "limbo" status after refiling, they will NOT automatically fix themselves in the system. They require manual intervention by a claims examiner. Continuing to file for current weeks is good advice, but without contacting UC about the missing weeks, they could potentially be lost.
UPDATE: Finally got through to someone at UC! The agent confirmed what @helpfulUCexpert said - those weeks were stuck in a review status because of the transition between claim years. They weren't showing on my summary page because they were flagged for manual review. The agent was able to see them in their system and has now pushed them through for payment! For anyone with a similar issue - don't assume the weeks are gone just because they don't show up on your summary page. They might be in the system but not visible to you. And definitely keep trying to reach someone because these weeks won't process automatically.
great news! how did u finally get thru to them? i'm dealing with same problem now

my friend works at UC and says there were TONS of fraud cases after covid. ppl using random ssn's to file claims. make sure u check ur daughters credit report too!
Just wanted to add one more important point - make sure to secure a copy of the fraudulent claim details from PA UC during your fraud report. This will show exactly when the claim was filed, what information was used, and any contact details the fraudster provided. This can help with the police report and potentially help catch whoever is doing this. Ask specifically for the "claim filing details" as they sometimes don't provide this automatically during fraud reports.
Thank you for this additional advice. I'll specifically ask for the claim filing details when I call. I'm really hoping they can trace who did this.

One more thing worth mentioning - while you're waiting for your card to arrive, you can log into your PA UC dashboard and verify that payments are actually being processed. Look for the "Payment History" section. If you see payments listed as "sent" or "processed," that's a good sign that the card is on its way with funds already loaded. If nothing shows there, you might have another issue that needs addressing.
Just checked and I do see two payments listed as "processed" - one from last week and one from yesterday! So I guess that means the money is approved and should be on the card when it arrives? That makes me feel better!
I waited 9 days for my card then realized it got delivered to my neighbor's mailbox by mistake! Maybe check with your neighbors if it's been longer than 10 business days. The envelope is pretty plain looking and doesn't obviously say it's your benefits card.
That's good to know about the envelope! I'll keep an eye out for something plain that might not look important at first glance.

•The timing varies by office, but you can actually check your appeal status by calling 1-888-313-7284 and selecting the appeals option. They should be able to tell you if your hearing has been scheduled even if you haven't received the notice yet. Sometimes the mail is delayed, but they can give you the info over the phone. Also, for the original poster - continue filing your weekly claims while waiting for the appeal hearing! If you win, you'll only get paid for weeks you properly certified.

Yes, those "pending appeal decision" weeks will automatically process if you win your appeal. Keep filing! To answer your earlier question about written statements - while not required, it can be helpful to prepare a brief (1 paragraph) written statement explaining: 1. What happened with the error 2. Your actual availability for work 3. Why this was clearly a mistake You can reference this during your hearing to make sure you don't forget important points when nervous. The referee may also allow you to read it, though they'll still ask follow-up questions. Hearings for availability issues are almost always conducted by phone now. You'll call into a conference line at the appointed time, and the referee will manage the call. Be in a quiet place with good reception.

•Thank you! That makes me feel a lot better about the whole process. I'll definitely prepare a short statement so I don't fumble my words during the hearing. Really appreciate all the helpful advice from everyone!
