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!

def agree with everyone saying JUST APPLY!! let them tell u no instead of assuming. and when you call make sure to ask specifically about any special programs for self-employed ppl. sometimes the first person u talk to doesnt know everything
Tell ur friend to look into CareerLink services too if he's in PA. When I got denied UC they referred me there and I got help with job training and resume stuff. Not cash benefits but at least something.

•Thanks for the suggestion! I'll definitely pass that along. He's been in this business for almost 15 years so his resume probably needs some serious updating. Any help with job hunting would be useful for him right now.

my friend works at the unemployment office and she said they're super backed up right now because of seasonal construction layoffs. they get thousands of new claims in march when projects don't start back up on schedule and it slows everything down. but she said if u got your confirmation number ur fine
Amina Diallo
•And you BELIEVE that??? They ALWAYS have excuses!!! The system has been "backed up" for FIVE YEARS!!! They need to FIX IT already!!! I'm so sick of their incompetence!!!
UPDATE: My status just changed to 'payment in process' this morning! Should hit my Money Network card tomorrow according to the portal. Thanks everyone for the reassurance (and the panic lol). I'll definitely try to be more patient next time, but also not wait too long if there seems to be a real problem.
glad it worked out! mine just changed too actually

this happened to me too!! i freaked out thinking i wasnt going to get paid!! turns out it was just showing that i had 1 week during my last claim where i didnt qualify cause i made too much at my part time job that week. as long as ur current weeks dont say 'disqualified' ur probably ok!
yep same. pa uc system is so old and weird with how it shows things

Just to add onto what others have said - it might be worth checking your 'Claim Summary' page to see if there are any outstanding issues listed for your current benefit year. That's different from the dashboard status and would show any actual problems with your current claim. The Previous Claim message is just historical info.
I checked my Claim Summary and there aren't any outstanding issues listed for my current benefit year! And my payment actually came through today, just a day late compared to usual. So it looks like everything is fine after all. Thanks for the help everyone!

i had a tax agent review my claim last month. called that claimyr service someone mention earlier cuz i was desperate. the pa uc agent told me that the TAX agent only works certain days of the week on certain claims!!!! they dont even work on our claims everyday! thats why it takes so long. such BS but at least i finally knew why it was taking 4ever
Ana ErdoÄŸan
•That's insane but explains a lot! So tax agents might only look at my type of claim like one day a week? No wonder this is dragging on for so long. Thanks for sharing that insight.
Quick update based on your responses: Since you confirmed it's officially a legislative claim, make sure to use that reference number every time you call. Also, the financial hardship request is your best option right now. Since you're at 2.5 weeks, you're almost at the point where supervisors start reviewing stuck claims. Tax agents typically have 21 business days to complete reviews before it flags for supervisor attention. Keep documenting all your call attempts too - this can be useful if you need to file a formal complaint later.

•Thank you so much for all this information! I didn't know about the 21 business day threshold. I'm going to call first thing tomorrow morning with my legislative reference number AND mention the financial hardship. Will definitely keep track of all calls from now on too. Really appreciate everyone's help!

make sure you check your payment method on your dashboard! my friend won her appeal but her payments were going to an old debit card she didn't have anymore and she had to call to update it which took forever

•Good point! Just checked and my payment method is set to direct deposit to my current bank account, so at least that's ready to go.

Quick update - I just received all my back payments today! Exactly 9 business days after my hearing. My claim status updated to "Active" on day 7, and the money hit my account 2 days later. All 18 weeks paid at once. Such a relief!

•That's excellent news! This timeline aligns with what we typically expect for straightforward cases where everything is properly documented. Make sure to print or save digital copies of your payment history just in case there are any questions in the future.

•Congrats!! Now just pray they don't come back a year later saying it was all a mistake and demand everything back with penalties like they did to my cousin 🙄
