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 additional point that might help ease your mind: PA UC regulations (specifically Chapter 65.63) state that when a claimant has earned six times their weekly benefit rate at a new job following a voluntary quit, the voluntary quit is no longer disqualifying. Since you worked at the tech job for 7 months, you've almost certainly met this requirement, which means your resignation from the accounting position shouldn't affect your eligibility. Keep certifying for benefits weekly while waiting for the determination. If approved, you'll receive all back payments for properly certified weeks.
Thank you for citing the specific regulation! I just looked it up and that definitely helps me understand the process better. I've been filing my weekly claims, so hopefully once they resolve the open issue, I'll get all the back payments. Really appreciate everyone's help here!
my cousin works for UC (not saying this to brag lol) and she says they have a HUGE backlog right now because they updated their computer system in March and it's causing all kinds of problems. so prob nothing to do with your specific situation just general incompetence
OMG that makes so much sense!! My claim was stuck for 3 weeks and then suddenly approved with no explanation. The whole system is a MESS.
Thanks for the insider info! That's actually comforting to know it might just be system issues rather than something wrong with my particular claim. I'll try to be more patient.

For anyone still having issues, here's what I've learned from past payment delays: 1. PA UC typically processes claims in batches. If there's a delay with one batch, it affects everyone in that batch. 2. System maintenance often happens early in the month and can cause 1-3 day delays. 3. If your payment history shows "paid" but you haven't received funds after 3 business days, that's when you should definitely contact UC. 4. Always keep screenshots of your payment history page showing the payment was processed as evidence if there's a dispute. 5. Banking holidays can affect deposit timing (this week had none though). Glad to hear most people's payments are starting to come through now!

just an update i checked my money network transaction history from last time and it says "ACH deposit" for UC payments if that helps u know what to look for
UPDATE: The money just hit my account this morning (Monday)! So that was about 4 business days after the pay date. Thanks everyone for your help and suggestions. Definitely took longer than I expected but at least it's here now.
Great news! Thanks for updating the thread. This is helpful information for others wondering about backpay timing.
awesome!! glad u got ur $$

Just thought I'd update you - I called the PA Treasury (not UC) about my compromised card last time, and they were actually more helpful than UC. The number should be on the back of your Money Network card. They can sometimes tell you exactly what happened and expedite a replacement.
That's a great tip! I still have my old card so I'll try calling the Treasury number on the back. Maybe they can at least tell me why it was flagged as compromised.
Just to give you some peace of mind while you work on this: when payments have nowhere to go because of a closed Money Network account, they typically get held in the system for up to 45 days. So your money won't be lost - it's just a matter of establishing a new payment method before you can access it. The fastest solution is usually to get through to a live person at UC who can update your payment preferences immediately.
That 45-day timeframe is really helpful to know, thank you! I managed to get through to someone using that Claimyr service another person mentioned. They're sending me a paper check for this week's payment and helped me fix the direct deposit issue for future payments. Turns out I had my account number typed wrong last time!

Anyone know if the UC office is closed on Monday too? I was planning to call about my work search requirement question since I have a potential job interview coming up.

•Yes, the UC service centers will be closed on Monday for the holiday. But good news - job interviews definitely count toward your work search activities! Make sure to document the employer name, date, and contact information for your records. Good luck with the interview!

my friend said early deposits happen when they're doing system upgrades too

•That's actually not correct. Early deposits only happen for banking holidays. System upgrades might cause delays, but never early payments. The PA Treasury follows a strict payment schedule except for holidays. Just wanted to clarify so nobody gets confused about their payment patterns!
