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: Mine just hit my account at 3:45pm! Much later than usual but at least it came through. Thanks everyone for the reassurance!

Glad to hear it came through! Just for future reference - PA UC processes payments in batches and sometimes banking holidays (even ones you wouldn't think of) can cause delays. As long as it shows \

Good luck! The waiting game is the worst part of unemployment :

UPDATE: I called Money Network directly using the number someone posted here. Turns out my card was sent to an old address even though I updated my address with UC! They're sending me a new one with expedited shipping that should arrive by Monday. Thanks everyone for your help!

Great news! Glad you got it sorted out. This is a really common problem - the ReliaCard system and PA UC don't always sync up their address databases properly.

my sister in law told me they sometimes hold payments if u've been claiming for a while to make sure ur still eligible... how long have u been on unemployment?

0 coins

I've only been claiming for about 5 weeks so I don't think that's my issue. It sounds like the filing day is what messed me up. Thanks though!

Just wanted to update everyone that my payment from Monday's filing just hit my Money Network card this morning around 6:30am. So it was exactly one day later than my usual timeline. Thanks for all the helpful info!

this happened to my cousin and she got her new hearing date in like 10 days so maybe it wont be that bad good luck!

To update everyone on this thread - I just checked with a colleague who works with the appeals office, and there's currently a situation at the Reading office where they had a referee go on extended medical leave, causing them to redistribute cases to other offices. This is likely why your case is being moved to Wilkes-Barre. The good news is that they are prioritizing these transferred cases, so you might get a new date faster than normal. The bad news is that Wilkes-Barre is also handling their regular caseload plus these transfers, so there could still be some delay. Definitely follow the advice to call and emphasize your financial hardship situation. Also, ask specifically if they can offer you a phone hearing as those can sometimes be scheduled more quickly.

Wow, thank you so much for this insider information! That makes a lot more sense now. I'll definitely request a phone hearing if it means getting it resolved faster.

hey i kno this is completely off topic but did anyone have to do the ID.me verification? they sent me a link but when i try to do the video call verification thing it keeps saying no agents available and i'm worried my claim will be disqualified if i don't complete it soon

0 coins

Yes, ID.me verification is required for many PA UC claims now. Try doing the verification early in the morning (6-8am) or late evening (10pm-midnight) when fewer people are trying to connect with agents. Those times typically have much shorter waits for the video verification step.

UPDATE: I finally got through to someone at UC this morning! The rep explained that because my claim was backdated for 13 weeks, the total amount was too large for a single payment, so they're sending the first portion as a paper check. She said it was mailed on Monday and should arrive by the end of this week. The remaining payments will come via direct deposit once the check portion is processed. She also mentioned that the system sometimes defaults to paper checks for first-time claimants as a security measure. For anyone else dealing with this issue - keep checking your mail and be patient! Will update when my check arrives.

thats good news!! glad ur finally getting paid!

Thanks for updating! This confirms what I mentioned earlier about large backdated payments. Hope your check arrives soon and the rest of your payments come through without issues.
