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!

my experience with TD Bank and PA UC deposits is that they usually hit around 3am the day after they show as processed in the system. so if it says 7/21 payment date you'll prob see it 7/22 early morning. good luck!

NOT TRUE FOR EVERYONE!!! my credit union takes 3 days MINIMUM!! Stop giving false hope!!

Whoa, I specifically said 'TD Bank' because OP mentioned that's their bank. Obviously different financial institutions process ACH transfers differently.

UPDATE: The funds hit my account this morning at 2:37am! So for anyone searching this in the future - for TD Bank it took about 26 hours from when the portal showed 'partial check' to when the money actually appeared in my account. Such a relief after the long wait for approval. Thank you everyone for your help and information!

Great news! Thanks for coming back to update - it really helps others who might be in the same situation. Glad it worked out for you!

Good news - the fact that you never received any disciplinary actions before will work strongly in your favor. In PA, UC generally requires a pattern of misconduct or a very serious single incident to justify denial of benefits. Getting a shift covered with manager approval doesn't meet that standard. I recommend preparing a timeline document with: 1. Date you requested the shift coverage 2. Name of manager who approved it 3. Date of termination 4. Any relevant company policies 5. Names of witnesses Once you get through to a examiner, this will help them process your case faster.

This is extremely helpful. I'm going to put this document together today. Thank you!

Just wanted to add - while waiting for your claim to resolve, make sure you're still filing your weekly certifications every week. Even with the separation issue pending, you need to keep certifying to receive backpay once approved.

0 coins

Yes, I've been filing every week! That's the one thing I made sure to do religiously.

I was a seasonal worker for years and would file during our annual 2-week shutdown. Here's what I learned: - If u already have a PIN from before, use that same login - Answer YES when it asks if you're still employed but temporarily without work - Be prepared to upload or fax proof from employer about the closure - They might want a return-to-work date - You DO have to do the work searches unless you get an exemption Honestly for just 1 week it might not be worth the hassle but if you're tight on money it's your right to claim it!

0 coins

u can also get work search waived if ur employer gives u a letter saying u def have a job to go back to after the 1 week. thats what I did

After reading through this thread, I think speaking with a UC representative is your best bet. They can verify if your previous claim is still accessible, whether you'd need to serve a waiting week, and if you qualify for a work search exemption given your situation. For just one week, it might be cutting it close timing-wise, but it doesn't hurt to check.

I agree. I'm going to try to reach a rep tomorrow and see what they say. Really appreciate everyone's advice here - this was super helpful! I'll update once I figure out what I'm doing.

Did you have to do a hearing for your appeal??? I had to do a PHONE HEARING and was so nervous I could barely speak!!!

0 coins

Yes, I had a phone hearing too! I was super nervous but had prepared some notes ahead of time which helped. The referee was actually pretty nice and just wanted to hear the facts. My former employer didn't even show up to the call which probably helped my case.

Quick update for anyone reading this thread in the future: After an overturn decision, most direct deposits are hitting accounts within 2-3 business days in 2025. The PA UC system has improved somewhat compared to previous years. Just make sure your direct deposit information is correct in the portal, as this is the most common reason for delays after a successful appeal.

Sorry about your job! When you get your Money Network card make sure you activate it immediately and set up the mobile app. I missed my first payment because I didn't realize I needed to activate the card before they would load funds on it. Also don't throw away the envelope it comes in - there's an activation code you need inside.

0 coins

That's good to know! I would have assumed the funds would just load automatically. I'll watch for the envelope and activate it right away. Thanks!

One more important thing - since your unemployment is due to a disaster (the fire), make sure you upload any documentation your employer provides about the incident. This helps prevent delays with your claim. If your employer filed a "Notice of Disaster" with PA UC, your weekly requirements might be different than standard claims. And don't forget that PA UC benefits are taxable. You can elect to have 10% federal tax withheld from each payment by selecting that option in your payment preferences.

0 coins

I didn't know about the tax withholding option - I'll definitely set that up to avoid a surprise tax bill next year. Our manager said they filed all the necessary paperwork about the fire, but I'll double-check and ask if there's anything specific I should upload to my claim. Really appreciate all this help!
