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!

Based on everything you've shared, I think you're in a pretty good position. You've submitted strong documentation (doctor's notes, school emergency logs) that directly addresses the reason for disqualification. The fact that they're proceeding without a hearing suggests your documentation was clear and comprehensive. Keep in mind that your decision will come in the mail first, before the online system updates. Watch your mailbox carefully over the next week or two. And if you do need to call for a status update, try early morning (7:58am, right before they open) for the best chance of getting through.

That's really helpful, thank you! I'll keep an eye on my mail and try calling at opening time tomorrow. I've been checking my portal obsessively but sounds like that won't update first. Fingers crossed the decision comes soon - this waiting and uncertainty is so stressful when bills are piling up.

UPDATE: I finally got through to someone at UC Overpayment Services! I used the Claimyr service that someone mentioned above and it actually worked - got through in about 30 minutes. The agent confirmed that since I've been on my payment plan for over 8 months with consistent payments, I HAVE been removed from the Treasury Offset Program. She said it might take up to 2 weeks to show up when I call the offset line, but my refund should be safe. Such a relief! She's also sending me an email confirmation, which I'll be saving forever as suggested. Thanks everyone for your help!

Great update! This is exactly why it's so important to get official confirmation directly from UC. Glad you got it resolved and have peace of mind for tax season.

To address your question about work search: Yes, you need to keep records of your work search activities for at least two years. PA UC can audit your work search at any time during that period.\n\nWhen you file your weekly certification, there will be questions asking if you completed your work search requirements. You'll need to answer \

This is super helpful, thank you! I'll start tracking everything in a spreadsheet right away. Really appreciate everyone's help explaining all this!

my sister had part time job when she filed and it wasnt a big deal. just be honest on ur application and weekly claims and ull be fine

0 coins

To summarize what everyone's saying: 1) File now based on your full-time job layoff, 2) Report your part-time bartending job and its earnings both on your initial application and weekly claims, 3) Start doing and documenting your work search activities immediately (even while still bartending), 4) Have documentation ready from your employer about the layoff reason, and 5) If you have trouble reaching someone at UC, consider using a service to help you get through. Once both jobs end, you should receive your full weekly benefit amount as long as you continue meeting all eligibility requirements.

Thank you so much everyone! This is exactly what I needed to know. I'm going to file my initial claim today and make sure I report everything correctly. Fingers crossed it all goes smoothly!

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.
