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!

im confused why ur focusing on the termination so much. just say u were laid off due to budget cuts. thats what i always say and nobody questions it. unemployment is unemployment whether u were fired or laid off, the benefits are the same either way

This is factually incorrect. In Pennsylvania, if you're laid off due to budget cuts, that's considered a lack of work situation and you qualify for UC benefits without issues. If you're fired for cause (like a mistake that costs the company money), you might be initially denied benefits and have to appeal. Also, lying in interviews is grounds for termination if discovered later. Background checks often reveal termination reasons.

Update: I had an interview yesterday and tried the advice about framing it as a learning experience. It went SO much better! Instead of getting stuck defending myself, I talked about the mistake briefly, then spent more time explaining the triple-check system I developed afterward. The interviewer actually seemed impressed and we moved on to talk about my qualifications instead of dwelling on the termination. I have a second interview scheduled for next week! Thank you all for the helpful advice - it really made a difference in how I approached this.

That's fantastic news! Good luck with the second interview. Remember to maintain that same confident, growth-minded approach. They're clearly seeing your value beyond that single incident.

When I had this issue I called the PA UC hotline 78 TIMES before getting through!!! The system is such a joke!!! But once I finally talked to someone they fixed my issue in like 5 minutes.

UPDATE: Just wanted to share that completing the IDme verification fixed my issue! Three days after verifying, all my pending weeks were paid at once to my direct deposit (not the card). Thanks everyone for your help - especially the tip about checking my spam folder! For anyone else stuck in limbo, definitely check if you missed an identity verification request.

Excellent! Glad you got it resolved. This is exactly why it's so important to check spam folders regularly when dealing with PA UC. For future reference, the direct deposit usually takes precedence over the card if you've set it up correctly. The system still sends everyone a card as a backup payment method.

So happy for you! Wish the PA UC system would make this more clear instead of leaving everyone confused and stressed out for weeks!!!!
