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!

make sure u check ur payment status on the uc website! sometimes it says "paid" on there for days b4 the money actually shows up in ur account
One more tip - if your backdated payments don't show up within 2 weeks of filing those weeks, there might be an issue that needs addressing. The payment status section should show each week as either "pending," "in progress," or "paid." If any week shows a different status or has been pending for more than 10 days, you should definitely call to check what's happening. Sometimes backdated weeks can trigger automatic reviews even after initial approval.
That's good to know! I'll keep an eye on the status. Right now they all say "pending" after I filed them today. Fingers crossed they change to "paid" soon!
Sounds like you're on the right track! Most people see their first payments within a week, so I bet you'll have good news soon.

my sister had her baby last year and missed some UC thing too and she just wrote a letter explaining about the birth and sent it with a copy of the birth certificate and they reversed the disqualification. childbirth is definitely considered a valid reason especially with NICU time! dont stress too much about it

just checked my card and my payment FINALLY posted!! check yours now maybe?
OMG JUST CHECKED AND MINE CAME THROUGH TOO!! Such a relief! Thanks everyone for your help and suggestions. Hopefully this was just a one-time glitch.
this happens like every 3 months tbh... the PA UC system is always breaking down in some way... get used to it lol
While there are occasional delays, I've been on UC for 7 months and this is only the second time I've experienced a payment issue. If you're having frequent problems, it might be worth checking if there's something specific with your claim that's causing recurring issues.

UPDATE: I finally got through to UC this morning after calling 22 times! The agent confirmed my payment was switched to a Money Network card that was mailed yesterday. She said it takes 7-10 business days but there's no tracking available. She also confirmed my bank is on their restricted list because of 'fraud prevention measures' implemented in 2024. She added that once I get the card, I can call UC again to update my bank information to a different account, but they recommend traditional banks or credit unions, not online-only banks. Thanks everyone for your help! I'll update when the card arrives.
Glad you got through! Make sure to activate the card immediately when it arrives. Also check if there are any ATM fees - I think you get 1-2 free withdrawals per month but after that they charge you.

This happened to me! I think I know what might be wrong. Check if your claim spans a benefit year ending date - claims that start in one benefit year and continue into a new one often get stuck. They require manual processing but nobody tells you this. You just have to wait in limbo until they do it.

•That could definitely be part of it! My claim did start in December which would be near the end of a quarter. Now that I've spoken to someone, they said there was an employer protest plus some quarterly review issues. Such a relief to finally know instead of being completely in the dark.

•Yes, they said once the determination is made (assuming it's in my favor), all backpay would be processed at once. I made sure to get the rep's name and ID number just in case I need to reference this conversation later. I've learned my lesson about documentation through this whole ordeal!
