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!

Just to give you some peace of mind - PA UC has a financial determination timeline they have to follow even if there are mail delays. If your payment is shown as processed in the system, the money is allocated to you. Mail delays don't affect your eligibility or payment amount. If you haven't received it by Monday, I'd recommend calling the UC service center at 1-888-313-7284, but be prepared for long wait times. Monday mornings are especially busy, so Tuesday might be better if you can wait. When you do call, have your claim number and the last 4 digits of your SSN ready.
Thank you! My check actually arrived today (Saturday), which is weird because I don't normally get mail on weekends. But I'm relieved it came. I'm definitely going to set up direct deposit to avoid this stress in the future. Thanks everyone for your help!

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.

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.

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

One more thing - if you just changed your direct deposit last week, there's a chance this payment might still go to your old account or be issued as a paper check. When my wife updated her bank info, PA UC told her the change would take effect for the NEXT payment cycle, not the current one. Worth checking your old account just in case.

•UPDATE: You were right! I just checked my old account and the payment is there! I thought it would go to my new account since the rep said the change would process immediately. Guess I'll need to transfer it out. Thanks everyone for your help! At least I know future payments should go to Mid Penn now.
