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!

Based on your follow-up responses, since your UC payment history shows "paid" but the Money Network card still shows pending, this is definitely a card issue rather than a UC issue. Call Money Network's direct customer service line at 888-233-5916 (not the automated system) and specifically ask for a representative. Tell them you need them to check for any holds or verification requirements on your account. Sometimes they place security holds if there's been any change in your login patterns or if the system flags anything unusual.
Thank you! I'll call that direct number first thing tomorrow. Hoping they can resolve it quickly since rent is coming up fast.
UPDATE??? Did you get your money yet? The suspense is killing me lol. I'm going through something similar and want to know if you found a solution!
YES! Finally got it resolved this morning. Called Money Network using the direct customer service number someone suggested. Turns out they had placed a security hold because I had logged in from a different device last week (my sister's computer when mine was being repaired). They released the hold while I was on the phone and said funds should be available within 24 hours. Just checked and the money is there now! Such a relief.
OMG that's so stupid that they did that without telling you!!! But I'm glad you got it fixed!! 🙌

I had a somewhat similar situation happen with my claim back in February. I ended up using the message center in my dashboard instead of calling. I sent a detailed message explaining exactly what happened and asking them to fix the issue. Surprisingly, they responded within 2 days and fixed it! My payment was processed the next day. Worth a try if you can't get through on the phone.
I'll try the message center right now! Did you use any specific wording that seemed to help get a faster response?
I made sure to put "URGENT PAYMENT ISSUE" in the subject line, and then I was very specific about what happened and included my last 4 SSN digits and claim confirmation number in the message. I think being super clear about the problem helped.
UPDATE: I finally got through to someone! I tried that Claimyr service that someone suggested above and it actually worked. Got connected to a PA UC rep in about 30 minutes. They explained that I accidentally started a Break in Claim when the ID verification popped up. The rep was able to fix it and release my payment! It should be on my Money Network card by tomorrow. Thank you all for the help and suggestions!
That's great news! Glad you got it sorted out. For future reference, whenever you see anything unusual during your weekly certification, it's best to slow down and read everything carefully. The system doesn't always make it clear what you're actually doing.
sweet!! good to hear u got ur money

Just want to add - since you were let go on February 18th, 2025, make sure you file for the benefit week that includes that date. You can backdate your claim to the week you became unemployed, but only for a limited time. Also, start documenting your job search activities immediately, even before you're approved. PA requires verification of 6 work search activities per week (applying for jobs, attending job fairs, creating profiles on job sites, etc.). One more tip: after you file, check your dashboard daily for any "open issues" on your claim. Sometimes they need additional information and won't tell you except through the portal.
the job search requirement is such a pain! but def do it because they actually check sometimes. my cousin got denied 3 weeks of benefits because she couldn't prove her searches
UPDATE: I filed my claim yesterday following your advice (listed the agency as employer, reason as "lack of work"). My dashboard already shows an "open issue" related to "employer separation" - I'm guessing they're checking with the agency. I also started applying for jobs right away and have documented 4 applications so far this week. Thanks everyone for the help! I'll update again when I hear something.
That's exactly the right approach. The "open issue" is normal - they verify all claims with the last employer. It might take 2-3 weeks to resolve, but keep filing your weekly claims during this time! Even if benefits are delayed, you'll receive backpay for all eligible weeks once approved.

im confused why ur focusing on the termination so much. just say u were laid off due to budget cuts. thats what i always say and nobody questions it. unemployment is unemployment whether u were fired or laid off, the benefits are the same either way
This is factually incorrect. In Pennsylvania, if you're laid off due to budget cuts, that's considered a lack of work situation and you qualify for UC benefits without issues. If you're fired for cause (like a mistake that costs the company money), you might be initially denied benefits and have to appeal. Also, lying in interviews is grounds for termination if discovered later. Background checks often reveal termination reasons.
Update: I had an interview yesterday and tried the advice about framing it as a learning experience. It went SO much better! Instead of getting stuck defending myself, I talked about the mistake briefly, then spent more time explaining the triple-check system I developed afterward. The interviewer actually seemed impressed and we moved on to talk about my qualifications instead of dwelling on the termination. I have a second interview scheduled for next week! Thank you all for the helpful advice - it really made a difference in how I approached this.
That's fantastic news! Good luck with the second interview. Remember to maintain that same confident, growth-minded approach. They're clearly seeing your value beyond that single incident.
YESSS!!! So happy for you!! Keep us updated on how the second interview goes!!

•This is an important warning. PA UC overpayment notices should never be ignored, even if you believe they're in error. If you miss the appeal deadline, Pennsylvania can and will: • Garnish your wages (up to 25%) • Intercept your state tax refunds • Place liens against your property • Add significant interest and penalties to the original amount • Report the debt to credit bureaus In some cases, they can even pursue criminal charges for unemployment fraud if they believe the overpayment was intentional, though this is rare for system errors like these 2021 notices appear to be.

Just wanted to update everyone. I had my appeal hearing yesterday for my similar overpayment notice. The examiner immediately saw the error when I showed my employment records. She said their system flagged a bunch of 2021 claims incorrectly during a recent audit. My case was dismissed on the spot! For anyone else dealing with this, definitely appeal and bring documentation of your employment during those weeks they claim you were paid.

•That's such a relief to hear! I have my appeal phone interview scheduled for next Tuesday. I've gathered all my documentation showing I started work in August 2021 and never claimed benefits after that. This gives me hope it'll be resolved quickly. Thanks for updating us!
