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!

The provisional determination is technically subject to revision if the federal employer eventually responds with substantially different wage information. However, in practice, most federal wage reports end up confirming what employees submit (paystubs, W-2s). The main issue is usually just the delay. Once you receive payments, it's rare that they would later determine an overpayment unless there's a major discrepancy in the wage reports.
This happened 2 my friend and they DID try to claim overpayment 3 months later!!! She had to appeal and it was a HUGE mess. make sure u keep ALL ur paystubs and w2 even after u get paid just in case!!!
Update us when you hear something! Federal wages are definitely one of the most common delays in the PA UC system right now. And while you're waiting, double-check your dashboard to make sure you don't have any other issues or tasks that need completing. Sometimes there are hidden issues that can cause additional delays even after the wage verification is complete.
Will do! I just checked my dashboard again and everything looks clean except for the wage verification issue. No other tasks or messages showing up. Fingers crossed this gets resolved soon!

i was on leave without pay last yr and when i went to applie in person they told me i needed to bring my ss card not just know the number but i had lost mine so i had to order a new one took 3 weeks just to be able to apply!!!! so dumb
This information is incorrect. While you do need to provide your Social Security Number when filing for unemployment in PA, you don't need to physically present your Social Security card when filing online. You only need the number itself. Please be careful about sharing misinformation, as it could cause unnecessary delays for others.
When I was on LWOP I had to wait forever to get benefits because they kept saying my "claim had an open issue" or something like that. Make sure to check your dashboard regularly after filing to see if there are any issues they need you to address! Don't just assume it's processing normally.
That's good to know - I'll make sure to check the dashboard every day after filing. Did they email you about the issue or did you just have to notice it on the dashboard yourself?

Wait so if PA took money from ur benefits to pay Virginia why are u even dealing with this? Isnt this PAs problem to fix since they took ur money?
Unfortunately not. PA is just acting as a collection agent for Virginia in this case. They deduct and transfer the funds, but it's Virginia's responsibility to properly credit those payments. This happens because each state has sovereign authority over their own UI program, and there's no federal oversight of interstate payment reconciliation.
hey did u ever get thru to virginia? im dealing with something similar now with new jersey and im pulling my hair out!!!
After trying for two more days with no luck, I ended up requesting a formal payment reconciliation as suggested above. Still waiting to hear back. I'll update here if I get it resolved!

this happened to my brother and he did end up having a hearing. the system just updated weird. dont trust the online status its almost never right. keep checking your mail and email everyday!!
UPDATE: I finally got through to someone at the appeals office! The representative confirmed they're reviewing my documentation before deciding if a hearing is needed. She said my employer didn't contest the appeal and my documentation was very clear, so they might just overturn the denial without a hearing. She said I should keep an eye on my mail for either a hearing notice or a decision letter in the next 7-10 days. Thank you all for your help and advice!
That's great news! If your employer isn't contesting it and you have clear documentation, there's a very good chance they'll rule in your favor without needing a hearing. This is actually the best-case scenario as it typically means a faster resolution. Keep us updated on the final outcome!
Fingers crossed for you! Sounds promising!!

i had unresolved issue for 6 weeks last year. ended up being something super simple - they needed to verify my identity again even tho i already did the id.me thing. once i got thru to someone they fixed it right away and i got all my back payments in 3 days. dont give up!!

That's actually really encouraging to hear! I'm hoping once I actually reach someone, it'll be something simple like that. Did you get interest on your back payments or just the regular benefit amount?
