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!

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!!!
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.
not for me its been a week now and still nothing

ALSO dont forget that they might have changed the banking info for the direct deposits!!! You need to specifically ask the UC office WHERE the fraudulent payments were sent so you can include that in your police report!!!
That's a really good point! I'll definitely ask about that. I hadn't even thought to check if the payment information was changed.
Any update?? Did you get through to someone? My brothers case took almost 2 months to resolve but at least they stopped the payments right away when he reported it
We used that Claimyr service someone mentioned above and actually got through yesterday! They've flagged the account for fraud investigation and locked it from further claims. Now we're gathering all the employment documentation to prove he was working during those weeks. They said it could take 6-8 weeks to fully resolve but at least the bleeding has stopped. Thanks everyone for all your help!

my cousin works for the treasury departmen and he said they just got behind on processing this week, everything shud be back to normal next week
while we're waiting for these late payments has anyone else noticed the job search requirements are getting stricter?? my case worker said I need 5 work search activities now instead of 3? anyone else???
Standard PA UC requirements are still 3 work search activities per week. If you've been told you need 5, that might be specific to your claim situation or perhaps a miscommunication. I'd recommend calling to verify this information.

That's great news! Most issues that people worry about end up resolving themselves. Glad it worked out smoothly for you.

•Contact PA UC immediately to explain the situation. The sooner you correct this, the better. Bring documentation of all the work you've done and when you did it. If you self-report the error before they catch it, they're usually more understanding about honest mistakes. But don't delay - the longer this continues, the more serious any potential penalties could be.

Thanks everyone for the advice! I'm going to start reporting my 1099 work based on when I perform it, not when I get paid. I'll keep detailed records of hours, dates, and expected earnings so I can provide documentation if needed. Seems like the consensus is clear that PA wants work reported when performed, regardless of payment timing. I really appreciate all the help and personal experiences shared here!

•Good decision! Just remember that partial employment may still qualify you for partial UC benefits depending on how much you earn each week. As long as you report accurately, the system will calculate if you're eligible for a partial payment.
