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!

Quick update: The PA UC office just posted on their official Twitter account that they're aware of some minor glitches with the work search reporting section of the new website. They recommend taking screenshots of your work search activities before submitting just in case. They expect to have these issues resolved by next week. Your benefits shouldn't be delayed as long as you completed the claim and received any type of confirmation.
Thanks for keeping us updated! I'll definitely take screenshots next week. Has anyone heard if they're planning more changes or is this update finished?
According to their modernization roadmap, this is phase 1 of 3. The next update is scheduled for August 2025 and will focus on the appeals process and document management system. The final phase will update the employer portal side of things in November. But the weekly claims process should remain stable after these current adjustments are ironed out.

Just to add to my earlier comment - if your husband filed online, he should verify that his ID.me verification went through properly. Many claims get stuck because of ID verification issues. Also, having him continue to file weekly will ensure he gets all back pay once approved, and it keeps his claim active in the system.
yeah the ID.me thing caused my claim to get stuck cuz i did it wrong the first time. had to redo it
After seeing all these responses, I highly recommend your husband try to speak directly with an agent. That's the fastest way to find out if there's a specific issue or if it's just in the normal queue. When I finally got through, they found a simple issue that was holding everything up. It's worth the effort to make contact rather than just waiting and hoping.
You're right, I think he needs to be more proactive about this. He's tried calling a few times but gives up after being on hold. I'll let him know about the Claimyr option you mentioned. At this point, we just need some answers.

One more thing - document EVERYTHING. Each time you call, who you speak with, confirmation numbers, etc. If your appeal is delayed beyond 6 months, you can actually file a complaint with the Department of Labor and Industry Office of Integrity. Also, when you finally do get your hearing notice, make sure you're fully prepared with all documentation proving you were laid off rather than quit. The referee will need specific evidence.
I've started keeping a log today. Already have all my documentation ready to go - termination letter from my employer, emails discussing the layoff, everything. Just need them to actually look at it!
Update for anyone following this thread - I used Claimyr this morning and finally got through to someone at PA UC! Turns out my appeal WAS stuck in the system. The agent put a priority flag on it and said I should receive my hearing notice within 10 business days. Such a relief to finally have answers. Will update again when I get my hearing date.
That's great news! Thanks for updating us. Hope your hearing goes well and you get your benefits sorted out quickly.
nice!! glad u got through finally!!

Just checking back - any updates on your situation? Were you able to get through to anyone who could help?
Small progress! I called my state rep yesterday and their office took all my info. They said they've been handling dozens of similar cases and have a direct contact at UC who can expedite these issues. They promised to call me back by Friday with an update. I also mailed my withdrawal letter via certified mail yesterday. Fingers crossed!
One more thing I forgot to mention - make sure to continue filing your weekly claims even while this is being sorted out. Once your appeal issue is resolved, they'll release all back payments, but only for weeks you properly certified. Many people forget this step and lose out on backdated payments.
Thank you for this reminder! Yes, I've been religiously filing every Sunday even though no money is coming in. At least when this nightmare is over, I should get a lump sum of all the back payments. That's the only thing keeping me going at this point.

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.
