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 PA UC SYSTEM IS DESIGNED TO MAKE YOU GIVE UP!!!! I got laid off last year and they made everything so complicated I almost gave up too. They'll probably try to deny you because it's been so long but DON'T GIVE UP if they do. The appeal process actually works sometimes but they count on people not appealing when denied. The whole system is rigged against us regular people!!
While the system can certainly be frustrating, appeals exist for a reason and many people do win their appeals when they have legitimate reasons for filing late or other issues. The key is documentation and persistence. Medical reasons like postpartum depression are specifically mentioned in PA UC regulations as potential good cause for late filing.
Update: I filed my claim online yesterday and did my best to explain the postpartum depression situation in the comments. They have scheduled a phone interview for next week to discuss the late filing. I'm gathering all my medical documentation now. Thank you everyone for the advice and support! Fingers crossed this works out.
That's great news! For the phone interview, make sure you have all your documents ready and be very clear about the timeline of events. Write down important dates beforehand so you don't get flustered. Be honest about how your condition prevented you from filing earlier. Good luck, and please let us know how it goes!

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.

This happens every holiday. My brother works for a bank and says all the ACH transfers get backed up after federal holidays. Its not just unemployment its everything. One time my paycheck was 3 days late after 4th of July weekend and I about had a heart attack lol
For future reference, always give payments 2-3 business days after holidays to process. Also, if you're cutting it close with bills, remember you can request your payment method be changed from direct deposit to paper check or vice versa through your dashboard. Some people find one method faster than the other depending on their bank. Glad your payment arrived!
That's good advice about the payment methods! I didn't know you could switch between them. Might try paper check next time to see if it's any faster. Thanks again everyone!

omg u guys r making me nervous lol i have a hearing next week for my claim i hope my boss doesnt show up!!
One last tip I forgot to mention: KEEP FILING YOUR WEEKLY CLAIMS during the entire appeal process! If you win your appeal, they'll only pay you for weeks you properly certified. I've seen people win appeals but miss out on thousands because they stopped filing during the appeal process. Don't make that mistake!
Thank you for this reminder! I'll definitely keep filing. I'm going to start gathering all my documentation today and submit my appeal. Fingers crossed it goes smoothly!

For what it's worth, I filed in February 2025 and it took about 3 weeks from application to first payment. That was with no issues on my claim though. If you have any "open issues" it could take longer. Make sure you answer all the questions accurately to avoid delays!

Current processing times are typically 2-3 weeks for clean claims, though it varies. Here's what affects the timeline: 1. If your employer contests your unemployment reason 2. If there are eligibility questions or "open issues" 3. If you worked in multiple states during your base year 4. If the system flags anything unusual about your work history Keep filing your biweekly claims even while waiting for approval. If approved, you'll receive all eligible back weeks at once. You'll receive your payments on a Money Network debit card unless you set up direct deposit.
