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!

To answer your earlier question - yes, they did backpay me for all the waiting weeks once my claim was approved. So at least you'll get that money eventually, though I know that doesn't help with immediate bills. And I forgot to mention - make sure you set up your direct deposit info in the system right away if you haven't already!
Thank you! That's a relief to hear. I did set up direct deposit right away, so hopefully that's all set. Just playing the waiting game now.
anyone else notice how they always seem to approve right AFTER you call them??? like they see ur number and suddenly approve ur claim lol
There's actually a logical explanation for this. When you call, the agent typically reviews your claim while you're on the phone. If they see it's ready for processing but just hasn't been reviewed yet, they can often complete that review during your call. It's not that they're withholding approval until you call; it's that your call prompts the review that would have happened eventually.

have u tried checking ur email spam folder? they sent me a special verification link that went to my spam and i almost missed it. might be worth checking
Just checked all my folders including spam - nothing from them unfortunately. But good suggestion!
UPDATE: It finally worked! I followed the advice to try early morning (5:30am) using Safari instead of Chrome, and turned off my ad blocker. The verification went through in seconds! Thanks everyone for your help. For anyone else having this issue - try different times of day and different browsers!
Awesome! Glad it worked for you!

my brother got his money like 2 days after calling his state rep last month so maybe ur rep just sucks?? try calling a different rep maybe?
THIS!!! Some state reps have better connections at UC than others. My first rep did NOTHING but when I called a rep from a neighboring district they fixed it in DAYS!!!
Just coming back to check - any updates on your situation? Did contacting your rep again with the hardship language help?
YES! Finally got a breakthrough! I called my rep again yesterday using the exact "financial hardship" language suggested here, and uploaded my late rent notice. Got a call this morning from an actual examiner who went through my 1099 info with me. She said my claim should be processed within 48 hours. I'm not celebrating until I see the money, but this is the first real progress in 7 weeks. Will update when/if the payment hits my account!

This is a good reminder for everyone that when your claim status changes unexpectedly, reaching an actual representative should be your top priority. System glitches happen fairly regularly with PA UC, especially with multiple separation situations. For anyone else in a similar situation, keep these points in mind: 1. Always document any changes to your employment status immediately 2. Continue filing weekly claims without interruption 3. If your status says "under review" for more than 2 weeks, be proactive about reaching a representative 4. Keep copies of all communications with employers regarding scheduling, hiring agreements, or separation 5. If possible, get something in writing from the employer about your separation reason Glad to hear you're making progress with your claim!
Thank you for all this information! One question - should I call my former restaurant manager and ask for something in writing about why I'm no longer working there? Or would that potentially make things worse?
I wouldn't recommend contacting the restaurant manager directly at this point. Since you already have text messages documenting your availability conflicts, focus on those. Additional contact might just complicate things or even antagonize the employer. Let the UC process work now that you've completed the information request form. The texts you have should be sufficient evidence for your case.
That makes sense. I'll hold off on contacting them and just focus on the UC process now that it's moving forward. Really appreciate everyone's help and advice!

Just a heads up, when you finally get your backpay, they'll withhold taxes if you elected for that when you filed. Make sure you're prepared for that - the amount might be less than you're expecting if you chose to have taxes withheld.

Good point. I did elect to have taxes withheld when I applied, so I'm expecting about 10% less than the full amount. I just hope something happens soon.
