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!

Not to confuse things but don't u need to look for full time work while ur on UC anyway? So u should probably be applying for jobs regardless. The 1099 might help u in meantime. Just report any $ u make each week. That's what I do with my side gig.
You're right - I am still applying for jobs every week and documenting my work search activities. The 1099 work would definitely help with income while I'm looking. I'm just paranoid about anything that might mess up that new claim in June since I really might need it.
I think you have enough information now to make a decision. Based on what you've shared about your work history: 1. You have sufficient W-2 earnings in your base period (Jan-Dec 2024) 2. You were laid off from W-2 employment in February 2025 3. The 1099 work is flexible and you can still search for full-time work Taking the 1099 position shouldn't negatively impact your ability to file a new claim in June. Just make sure you: - Report all earnings accurately each week - Continue your work search activities and documentation - Keep records of everything related to both your W-2 layoff and 1099 work - When filing your new claim, clearly indicate you're filing based on your February 2025 W-2 job separation If you run into problems with the new claim, request a determination interview where you can explain your situation in detail.
Thank you so much for this detailed advice! I think I'm going to accept the 1099 position and make sure I document EVERYTHING carefully. I'll definitely make it clear when filing my new claim that it's based on that February W-2 layoff. This makes me feel much more confident about moving forward.

UPDATE: I just got out of my meeting and was able to submit my appeal online!!! The portal gave me a confirmation number and everything. I uploaded the email from my boss that clearly mentions the department layoffs. Thank you all SO MUCH for your help today. I was seriously panicking. Now I'm just hoping they schedule the hearing soon because I really need these benefits.
Great job getting it submitted in time! Make sure to watch your mail AND email closely over the next few weeks. Hearing notices can come either way, and they typically give about 7-10 days notice before the hearing date. Start gathering any additional evidence now - things like official termination paperwork, communications about the layoff, or contact information for witnesses who can verify you were laid off rather than quit. Good luck with your hearing!
congrats! one more tip - when they schedule ur hearing make sure ur phone accepts calls from unknown/blocked numbers. missed my first hearing cuz i have spam filter on my phone and had to reschedule :
Ohhh I never would have thought of that. I do have spam filtering on my phone. I'll make sure to turn that off when I get the hearing date. Thanks for the heads up!

so did u get ur money yet?
Not yet - my regular payment day is tomorrow. Fingers crossed it shows up! I'll update when I know.

btw did u have to do the waiting week? or was this ur first payment?
This includes my waiting week. I filed 5 weeks ago, and they finally processed everything. So I'll be getting 4 weeks of payments since the first week is the waiting week where you don't get paid.
Just to give you an update: I checked the PA UC processing schedule and if your payment date is 3/1, that means the file was sent to Money Network today (2/29). Money Network typically processes their files overnight, so there's a small chance you could see it tomorrow afternoon, but Monday is more realistic due to their internal processing times.
UPDATE: You were right!! Just checked my Money Network card and the money is there!!! It posted this morning (Monday). Thanks everyone for the help and information. Such a relief to finally have some funds!

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!
