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!

One more important point: While your Board appeal is pending, make sure you continue filing your weekly claims! If you win your appeal, you'll only get paid for weeks you properly certified. Many people stop filing during appeals and then can't get those weeks paid even if they ultimately win.
Eli Butler
•Oh! I didn't know this. I actually stopped filing after getting the disqualification. Should I go back and try to file for those missed weeks now? Or just start filing again going forward?
Mateo Warren
•You should file for the current week right away and contact UC about the missed weeks. In some cases, they'll allow you to backdate certifications if you can show good cause for missing them (like being confused after a disqualification). But regardless, definitely start filing weekly claims again immediately.
Welcome to PA UC where the rules are made up and your evidence doesn't matter! Seriously though, make sure you use the exact magic words "necessitous and compelling" in your Board appeal. The whole system runs on these specific legal terms. I got denied TWICE before I figured this out, then won my third appeal using those exact words even though I was saying the same thing all along. RIDICULOUS system.

my brother had the same thing last month and he got a job and they paid him all back pay like 2 weeks after he started working it was weird timing lol
To summarize what everyone is saying: 1. KEEP filing your weekly claims even after you start working 2. Report your work and earnings accurately (what you EARNED that week, not what you got paid) 3. Continue filing until your issues are resolved and you get your back pay 4. Try to reach PA UC either through normal channels, Claimyr, or contacting your state representative if needed You're absolutely entitled to benefits for the weeks you were eligible and properly filed claims. Finding a job doesn't erase that eligibility. Good luck with your interview!

anyone notice that we cant use the site during tax season too? happens every year right when everyone needs their 1099s
YES!!! It's like they deliberately make it harder during peak times! My theory is they're hoping people give up so they save money.
Ella Lewis
For anyone still having trouble: Per the PA UC Twitter account (@PaUCSupport), they're experiencing some technical difficulties with the login system today. They recommend using the UC Connect mobile app as an alternative method for filing weekly claims until the website issues are resolved. The estimated fix time is 5pm today.
Caleb Stark
•Update: I got in using the cache clearing suggestion, but now I'm getting errors when submitting my weekly certification. Going to try the UC Connect app as suggested. Thanks everyone for your help!

UPDATE: I finally got through to someone at UC after using that Claimyr service. The agent was actually really helpful and filed an emergency hardship petition for me. They said I should hear back within 7-10 days on whether I can get any of the recouped money returned. They also connected me with a local housing assistance program that might be able to help with temporary housing until this gets sorted out. Will update again when I hear something. Thank you all for your advice!
Ravi Sharma
•That's excellent news! Make sure to keep following up if you don't hear back within the timeframe they promised. The housing assistance program should definitely be able to help with temporary accommodations - they often have funds specifically for situations like yours. Wishing you the best of luck!
NebulaNomad
keep fighting!!! the system wants us to give up but we deserve our money!!!! 💪💪
Thanks for the encouragement! I'm definitely not giving up until I get this resolved. Every day in my car is motivation to keep pushing.
Mateo Gonzalez
UPDATE: I finally got in! Followed the detailed steps from @profile2 and waited until 2:30pm. System is working now. For anyone else having this issue - definitely do a full computer restart and try a different browser. Thanks everyone for your help!

•Glad it worked for you! Make sure to save your work search information somewhere separate before submitting in case it happens again. The PA UC system tends to have these hiccups every few months, especially around the beginning of a new quarter.

Well the site's still not working for me and now I'm completely locked out until tomorrow. My claim is due TOMORROW. This is going to delay my payment, isn't it? I hate this system so much. Every time I think things are going smoothly something like this happens!!!

•If you're completely locked out due to too many attempts, you might need to call for a PIN reset. Since your claim is due tomorrow, I'd suggest calling first thing in the morning. Ask specifically for them to both reset your PIN AND put a note in your file about the system issues so your payment won't be delayed. They can make exceptions for technical problems on their end.
