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: My card finally arrived today! For anyone else waiting, it came in a very plain white envelope that almost looked like junk mail, so check your mail carefully. The activation process wasn't too bad - took about 10 minutes on the phone. All my pending payments were already loaded on the card, which was a relief.
congrats! still waiting on mine... did u have to do anything special to get ur payments to transfer? or did they just show up automatically?
They were just there automatically! I didn't have to do anything special. The balance from my old card didn't transfer though - I had to do that separately through the Money Network app.
My nephew got his last week but I'm still waiting on mine. Does anybody know if we can still use the old cards until the new ones arrive? I have about $340 on my old card I need to access.
Yes, your old card remains active until you activate the new one. After that, you'll need to transfer any remaining balance from the old card to the new one using either the Money Network mobile app or by calling the number on the back of your new card.

Has anyone tried using the UC Connect app? I had similar issues last year but found the mobile app was sometimes more reliable than the website for recovering login information. Also, for partial benefits, you need to make sure you're using the right claim type. Regular UC works for most reduced hours situations, but if your employer is using a Work Share program, there's a different process.
The app is garbage it crashes half the time when u try to login lol better off using the website on ur phone browser
UPDATE: I managed to get through to PA UC! Here's what worked: 1. Used the PIN reset line (888-313-7284) first thing Monday morning at 7:58am 2. Got my PIN reset 3. Used the chat function on the website to recover my username 4. Was able to login and file my partial benefit claims for the past 3 weeks The agent told me that with partial benefits, I need to file every week even if my hours fluctuate. As long as I earn less than my weekly benefit rate plus the partial benefit credit (about 30% extra), I'll receive something. Thanks everyone for your help!
glad it worked out! make sure u keep filing every week even if ur hours go up a little

i tried both lol. called my rep first, they were nice but nothing happened for like a week. then i used that phone service thing someone mentioned and actually got through to UC. turns out there was just a dumb issue with my work history dates that took the lady like 3 mins to fix. my claim was processed 2 days later. so yeah id try the rep but dont just wait around for them to fix it
THIS!! So many claims are stuck because of tiny issues that would take minutes to fix if you could just TALK TO SOMEONE!
One important thing to understand about PA UC claims under review: there are different types of issues that cause reviews, and some can be resolved more quickly than others. Identity verification issues, employer disputes, and work search compliance reviews all fall under the generic 'under review' status but have different resolution processes. When contacting your representative, be sure to explain any specific communications you've received from UC that might indicate the nature of the review. This helps them direct your case to the appropriate department.
That makes sense. I haven't received any specific communications about why I'm under review - that's part of what's so frustrating. I'll definitely be contacting my rep tomorrow and will try that Claimyr service too if I don't see movement soon. Thanks everyone for the advice!

I got so tired of waiting that I emailed my state representative's office and explained my situation. They have liaisons that work directly with the UC office and can sometimes expedite claims. Within a week of contacting my rep, I suddenly got a call from UC and my claim was processed the next day. HIGHLY recommend trying this!!!
thank u for this tip!! im gonna email my rep today
UPDATE: So I finally got through to UC yesterday after trying that Claimyr service someone mentioned below (it actually worked!). The agent told me my claim had an "open issue" related to my separation reason that wasn't showing up on my dashboard for some reason. My employer had coded me as a voluntary quit when I was actually laid off! The agent sent a fact-finding form to both me and my former employer, and said once they get both responses, they can make a determination. At least now I know what's happening instead of being completely in the dark. Thank you all for your help and suggestions!
This is very common and explains the delay. Make sure you complete and return that fact-finding form ASAP and include any documentation that proves you were laid off (like a layoff notice, emails, etc.). The employer has 7 days to respond, then UC will make a determination. Since there's a conflict about your separation reason, be prepared for the possibility of an appeal hearing if your employer maintains you quit voluntarily.
THIS is exactly why the system is broken! They let claims sit there for WEEKS without even telling people what the problem is! So glad you finally got answers!

I had same problem last year when I got laid off my job at the warehouse. Couldn't get nobody to pick up the phone for 3 weeks!!! My cousin told me to just go to the CareerLink office in person. They can't help directly with claims but the lady there helped me write an email to some special address they have for urgent cases. Got a call back the next day from UC.

•Update: I ended up using that Claimyr service someone mentioned, and it worked! Got through to an agent after about 45 minutes. Turns out my open issue was just that they needed to verify my identity again because I logged in from a new device. So simple, but impossible to know without talking to someone. My claim should be processed this week! Thanks everyone for all your suggestions!
