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!

dont get too excited, the money network card is a pain if thats how ur getting paid. took me another week to actually get the card after payments were issued
Thankfully I set up direct deposit when I first applied. At least that's one thing I did right!
Just a reminder - after you file tomorrow, give the system 24-48 hours to process and show payment dates. Don't panic if they don't show up immediately after you certify. The system usually updates overnight Sunday into Monday, but sometimes it takes until Tuesday morning.
Thank you for the reminder. I'll try to be patient (though it's really hard after waiting 8 weeks already!

Just a heads up - I just checked the PA UC Facebook page and they posted that they're aware of the website issues and are working on them. They said to try again after midnight tonight when they complete the system maintenance.
typical!!! why do they ALWAYS do maintence during filing days?? makes no sense!
UPDATE: I was finally able to get through at 11:30pm last night! The site was still slow but at least it didn't freeze completely. Thanks everyone for your help and suggestions. For anyone else having this problem, definitely try late at night when there's less traffic.
Great to hear! For future reference, Sunday nights are always the highest volume for PA UC weekly filings. If possible, try filing on Monday or Tuesday morning instead - much less traffic and fewer technical issues.

My cousin had this happen and it turned out his employer somehow contested his claim months after it was approved and they tried to claw back the money which caused the NSF. Check your dashboard to see if any new issues appeared on your claim!
Just checked my portal and there's nothing showing any issues or employer appeals. Everything still shows as active and approved. This is so confusing and stressful!
Update us once you get this resolved! I think a lot of people would benefit from knowing how you fixed it since this seems to be happening more frequently lately.
Will do! I managed to get through to Treasury this morning using the Claimyr service someone suggested above. They confirmed it was a system error during batch processing and said they'll reissue the payment within 2-3 business days. The agent also suggested switching to the Money Network card temporarily until they resolve all the direct deposit glitches. Thanks everyone for your help!

you should probably report amazon to the EEOC too!!!! what they did is basically discrimination if they knew he had disabilities and didnt help him when it was getting too much. my friend's brother got a settlement from his employer for something similar
This!!! The unemployment appeal is just one part of it. Amazon's behavior sounds like it violated multiple laws. Document everything!
Since he has a new job now, one thing to keep in mind: Pennsylvania UC benefits are calculated based on your highest quarterly earnings during the base year. So even though he's employed now, those past earnings at Amazon still matter for his benefit eligibility and amount. That $8,800 is likely based on his earnings there, and he's entitled to those benefits if he was wrongfully terminated. For the appeal to the Board of Review, be very specific about the timeline: when he was hired, when Amazon became aware of his disabilities, when incidents occurred, when accommodation was requested, etc. Timeline clarity helps demonstrate the causal relationship between his disability, Amazon's failure to accommodate, and the incidents that led to termination.
That's a great point about being specific with the timeline. I'm going to put together a detailed chronology tonight. The referee seemed to get confused about the sequence of events, which probably didn't help our case. And you're right about the benefit calculation - his Amazon wages were higher than his current job, which is why the benefit amount is so significant.

I remember this tax thing... my neighbor was telling me about it last summer when we were talking about my daughter's college financial aid forms... she got a check for like $1,200 from it but that was way back in 2021 I think? She said it just showed up in her mail one day without her doing anything special. Hope that helps!

•Thanks for sharing that. It's so frustrating how inconsistent the process was. Some people got checks automatically while others of us got nothing despite being in the same situation!

To follow up on my earlier comment - I did eventually get my refund, but only after filing an amended return with help from a tax preparer. I had to provide my 1099-G from unemployment and specifically reference the American Rescue Plan Act exclusion. It took about 4 months to process after that. The annoying part was paying for tax help for something that should have been automatic!

•That's good to hear you finally got it. Unfortunately, as others have mentioned, the OP might be past the deadline now since we're in 2025 and the exclusion was for 2020 tax returns. The window for amendments is typically 3 years from the original filing deadline.
