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!

lol everybody acting like 5 days is some huge wait time. i waited 6 WEEKS last year when they flagged my account for "out of state ip address" just cuz i was using my sisters wifi. pa uc is completly broken, dont expect anything to be fast
That's a bit extreme though. Most payments go through in 2-3 days if there are no issues. Just because you had a terrible experience doesn't mean everyone should expect that. Still, always good to be prepared for delays with PA UC - they're definitely not known for their efficiency.
Quick update on timing expectations: According to the PA UC processing schedules for 2025, they're processing new gig/part-time income reports within 5-7 business days right now due to staffing issues. So if you reported that $65 income, you're still within the normal processing window. If nothing changes by next Tuesday, then I'd definitely reach out.
Thank you! That's really helpful to know. I'll wait until Tuesday, and if there's still no change I'll try to contact them. Really appreciate everyone's advice and sharing your experiences.

my brother had this happen and he just waited and didnt file anything and his benefits just stopped forever lol. dont do that
UPDATE: I filed my new claim last night and was able to speak with someone at UC this morning using that Claimyr service (it actually worked!). The agent confirmed I should file my weekly claim too. She said my new claim should be processed within 7-10 days and payments might only be delayed by 1-2 weeks max. She also noted this in my account to help speed things up. Thanks everyone for the advice!
Great news! Make sure to keep filing weekly claims during this transition period as mentioned above. Also, you might need to complete ID.me verification again for the new claim, so watch for emails about that.
So glad you got through! Keep us updated on how long it actually takes to get paid!

Last time I filed UC they kept saying new card was coming but nothing ever came and then a month later I got a letter saying they were using my old card. The whole system is just confusing af.
Just to clarify for anyone else with this issue in the future: 1. PA UC will always default to using an existing, unexpired Money Network card first 2. Even if the system mentions "issuing a new card," check your existing card first 3. You can verify which card is linked to your claim by calling UC directly 4. Money Network customer service can also tell you if a new card has been issued 5. New cards are typically only issued if you specifically request one or your old one is expired/reported lost Glad you got your money and everything worked out!
This is excellent information that should be pinned somewhere! Thanks so much for the clear explanation. Hopefully it helps others avoid the confusion I experienced.

btw has anyone had issues with the Money Network card after getting through the cash office review? they finally approved my payments but then the card never showed up and i had to wait ANOTHER two weeks!!
You can check the status of your Money Network card by calling 888-233-5916. Sometimes they get returned to sender if your address has any issues. Also, when you get the card, I recommend immediately transferring the funds to your personal bank account to avoid any potential card issues.
UPDATE: I called again this morning (took forever to get through) and finally got more info. They said the Cash Office review was triggered because I had a previous claim from 2023 and they needed to verify I wasn't getting double payments or something. The rep said it should be processed by Friday! Fingers crossed she's right. Thanks everyone for your help!
Great news! Thanks for updating us. That Friday timeline sounds right based on my experience. The previous claim connection makes sense too - they're very careful about overlapping benefit years.
hope it comes through on time!! let us know what happens

Update: I FINALLY got it working! For anyone else with this problem, here's what fixed it for me: 1. Called Money Network at exactly 7:00am to avoid the wait 2. Asked them to completely reset my online access 3. Waited the full 24 hours they recommended 4. Used Microsoft Edge browser in private browsing mode 5. Made sure to use ALL CAPS for my name exactly as it appears on the card Now I can see that I actually did get both my payments but they were less than I expected because of the tax withholding I selected. Thanks everyone for your help!

•Excellent! Glad you got it resolved. The ALL CAPS name format is a strange requirement they don't mention anywhere in their instructions. I've seen this trip up many claimants. For future reference, you can also adjust your tax withholding preferences on your PA UC dashboard if you want to change how much is taken out.
