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!

Update! You guys aren't going to believe this but I just checked my PA UC dashboard and my claim status changed from "pending" to "approved" - less than 48 hours after the state rep called me! Money should hit my account by Tuesday. I'm honestly shocked at how fast this worked after weeks of nothing happening. If anyone is stuck, DEFINITELY contact your state representative!
Congrats! Thats amazing it worked so fast for u! Wish id known this trick when i was waiting for mine!
I had a similar situation last year - was let go during a reduction in force but they coded it as termination, which triggered a lengthy review. After waiting over a month with no progress, I found that another effective option besides contacting your state rep is requesting a callback through the PA UC system. You can schedule these through your dashboard, and while they're often booked weeks out, having that scheduled callback puts your claim on someone's radar. When I finally got my callback, the examiner resolved my issue that same day. Worth considering as another approach if the state rep route doesn't work for whatever reason.
The callback system is USELESS!!! I scheduled one in JANUARY and they never called! Scheduled another in FEBRUARY and they called while I was in the bathroom and refused to call back! These people don't care about us at all!!!

The ENTIRE UC payment system is a complete JOKE!!! I got my Money Network card AFTER my payment was supposed to be on it and had to wait an EXTRA WEEK to get my money!!! They don't care that people have bills and children to feed! I'd call them ASAP and document EVERYTHING. Don't trust what they say online because it's NEVER accurate!!!
same thing happend to my cousin. UC is always messing up payments smh
this is my first time on unemployment do i need to do anything special for the new card or does it just come automatically?
The Money Network card should be sent to you automatically if you're currently receiving UC benefits. If you just recently filed your initial claim, you might receive the card before you receive any payments. Once you get the card, make sure to activate it right away using the instructions that come with it.

One important thing to note - if your claim is under review for a voluntary quit, make sure you CONTINUE filing your weekly claims by your filing day each week, even if payments are temporarily stopped. If they determine in your favor, they'll release all held payments. If you stop filing during the investigation, you won't receive those back weeks even if you win your case.

I went through something similar last year. The key for me was documenting the inconsistencies in what my employer said. If they told your husband they were restructuring but then claimed a policy violation to UC, that's a huge red flag the referee will notice. In my case, I had my denial overturned and received backpay for all the weeks I was eligible. Make sure your husband keeps filing his weekly claims even while waiting for the appeal hearing - that way if you win, he'll get paid for all those weeks.
Oh! I didn't realize he should keep filing weekly claims. He stopped after getting the denial letter. Should he start again right away? Will he miss out on the weeks he didn't file for?
Yes, he should absolutely resume filing weekly claims immediately! This is one of the most common mistakes people make. Even when denied, you should continue filing your weekly claims while appealing. If you win your appeal, you can only be paid for weeks you properly filed for. He may have already lost some weeks of potential benefits, but he should start filing again right away to prevent losing more. In some cases, you can request to file for past weeks by calling UC and explaining that you didn't understand you needed to keep filing, but it's not guaranteed they'll allow it.
Thank you so much! He's going to start filing again today. This forum has been incredibly helpful - I feel so much more prepared for the hearing now. I'll update after it happens to let everyone know how it went!

Just wanted to add - save a copy of any email correspondence between you and your employer about your sick days. Also, make sure you understand the difference between being fired for cause (misconduct) versus being fired for performance issues. In PA, you generally qualify for UC if you were fired for performance reasons, but not for willful misconduct. Since you had doctor's notes for your absences, that strongly supports your case.

Thank you all so much for the advice! I just submitted all my evidence (doctor's notes, text messages showing I notified my boss about being sick, and a written statement). Feeling much more confident now. I'll update after the hearing!
