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!

This thread is incredibly valuable for anyone dealing with the Money Network transition! I just switched over from ReliaCard last month and went through the exact same stress as everyone here. My first payment was terrifying - I was checking my balance every 10 minutes starting at 6am like usual, then nothing happened until almost 8pm! Now my payments consistently come between 4-7pm on Tuesdays. One thing I discovered that might help newcomers: you can actually set up text alerts through the Money Network website so you get notified the moment your deposit hits instead of constantly checking. Also, for anyone still struggling with the app issues mentioned earlier - clearing your cache and updating to the latest version helped me a lot. The timing change is definitely frustrating for budgeting, but at least now we all know what to expect. PA UC really should pin this thread somewhere because it's way more informative than their official communications!
That text alert tip is genius! I had no idea you could set that up through the Money Network website - definitely doing that right now so I can stop obsessively checking my balance all afternoon. The cache clearing suggestion is super helpful too since I've been having those app issues people mentioned earlier. You're absolutely right that PA UC should pin this thread or something - the amount of practical, real-world info here is incredible compared to their vague official communications. It's honestly ridiculous that we have to crowdsource basic information about major changes to our benefit delivery system. Thanks for sharing the text alert feature - that's going to save so much anxiety for everyone going through this transition!
Wow, reading through this entire thread has been such a relief! I'm currently going through my first Money Network transition right now (got my card 3 days ago) and was having a complete meltdown when my usual 6am deposit didn't show up this morning. I've been on ReliaCard for almost a year and that early morning timing was honestly the one reliable thing I could count on during this whole unemployment situation. It's absolutely insane that PA UC didn't warn anyone about this major schedule change - like how hard would it have been to include a simple note with the new cards explaining that deposits now come in the afternoon instead of morning? I've learned more practical information from this one thread than from any official UC communication. Currently setting up my online Money Network account and text alerts based on everyone's advice here. Thank you all for sharing your real experiences and saving me from calling UC 100 times today! This community support means everything when the official channels leave us hanging.

Just wanted to add that I had success with PNC Bank for direct deposit after my online bank got rejected. The whole process is definitely frustrating - it feels like they should at least give you a clear explanation of WHY your bank was rejected instead of just a generic "fraud prevention" message. One thing that helped me was opening a basic checking account at a local branch specifically for unemployment benefits. Most big banks will let you open an account with minimal fees if you set up direct deposit. It's an extra step but might be worth it to avoid the Money Network card hassles that others have mentioned. Also, if you do end up having to use the card temporarily, I found that using it at grocery stores for cash back (instead of ATMs) helped me avoid most of the fees while I was getting my banking situation sorted out.
This is really helpful information! I'm dealing with the same issue right now with my online bank being rejected. The lack of transparency from PA UC is so frustrating - they just give you that vague "fraud prevention" message without any explanation of what banks are actually accepted. I'm going to try calling that fraud department number that @Ethan Anderson mentioned before I resort to the Money Network card. If that doesn't work, opening a basic checking account at a traditional bank specifically for UC benefits sounds like a solid plan. Thanks everyone for sharing your experiences and workarounds - this thread has been way more helpful than anything I could find on the official PA UC website!
@Dmitry Volkov Totally agree about the lack of transparency being frustrating! I m'actually going through this exact same situation right now too. My online bank got rejected yesterday and I ve'been trying to figure out what to do. The fraud department number is definitely worth trying - seems like they re'at least willing to give you some guidance about bank types even if they won t'share the full list. I m'also considering the basic checking account route since it sounds like most people have had success with traditional banks. Has anyone had experience with Navy Federal or USAA? Those are the other options I have available but wasn t'sure if they count as traditional "enough" for PA UC s'system.

I'm brand new to PA UC (just got approved last week) and this entire thread has been incredibly helpful! I was so confused about the deposit timing and was worried I might be doing something wrong when I couldn't find a clear schedule anywhere. It's really reassuring to know that the Tuesday/Wednesday variation is completely normal and that I should expect 2-3 business days from Sunday filing. I love the tip about budgeting for Wednesday and treating Tuesday as a bonus - that's going to save me so much stress! Thank you to everyone who shared their experiences, especially those who mentioned tracking deposits on a calendar. This community seems amazing and I'm grateful to have found such supportive people who understand what it's like navigating UC for the first time.
Welcome to the community @GamerGirl99! I'm also fairly new to PA UC (started about 6 weeks ago) and this thread has been a lifesaver for understanding the deposit timing. I was getting so anxious every week not knowing if it would be Tuesday or Wednesday! The calendar tracking tip is really smart - I started doing that after reading this thread and it's helping me see the patterns. It's such a relief to find a community where people actually understand what you're going through. Don't hesitate to ask questions when you have them - everyone here has been super helpful and supportive!
I've been on PA UC for about 4 months now and can confirm everything everyone is saying here! The Tuesday/Wednesday deposit pattern is totally normal when filing on Sunday. What helped me the most was setting up text alerts through the Money Network app - you'll get a notification as soon as the deposit hits your account, which takes away some of the guesswork. Also, I noticed that if there's a federal holiday on Monday, it almost always pushes the deposit to Wednesday instead of Tuesday. The 2-3 business day rule is really accurate, just remember that weekends and holidays don't count as business days. Hope this helps ease some anxiety for the newer folks - we've all been there with the uncertainty!
Thanks for mentioning the Money Network text alerts @Chloe Martin! I just signed up for unemployment and had no idea that was an option. That's going to be so helpful for planning when I can expect the money to hit. The point about federal holidays pushing it to Wednesday is really good to know too - I wouldn't have thought about that affecting the timing. It's amazing how much practical knowledge everyone in this community has shared in this thread!

I'm going through this exact same situation right now and this thread has been incredibly helpful! My portal has been showing benefit dates for the past week but nothing on my Money Network card. As someone who's completely new to the PA UC system, I had no idea about these hidden account flags that can block payments without showing up in our dashboard. That's absolutely ridiculous that we can't see issues that are affecting our own claims! Planning to call Money Network first thing tomorrow to rule out any card issues, then try that Claimyr service if needed. Really appreciate everyone sharing their experiences and solutions - you've probably saved me days of frustration trying to figure this out on my own. It's sad that this community is more reliable than the actual PA UC system, but I'm grateful we have each other to help navigate this mess!
You're absolutely right @Santiago Martinez - it s'crazy that we have to rely on each other to figure out basic issues with our own unemployment claims! I m'also new to PA UC and honestly had no clue about all these potential hidden problems until reading everyone s'stories here. The Money Network call is definitely a smart first step since it ll'quickly tell you if the issue is on their end or UC s'end. And yeah, that Claimyr service seems to be the real MVP for actually getting through to someone who can see what s'really going on with your account. It s'frustrating that we even need a third-party service just to access our own information, but at least there s'a solution that works. Good luck getting it sorted out and thanks for adding to the thread - the more people who share their experiences, the better we can all navigate this broken system!
I'm dealing with this exact issue right now too! Been waiting 5 days since my benefit date showed up but still no money on my card. This is my first time on PA UC and I honestly had no idea the system was this unreliable. Reading everyone's experiences here has been both reassuring and terrifying - reassuring that I'm not alone and the money will eventually come, but terrifying to learn about all these invisible account flags that can mess up payments without us even knowing! Planning to try calling Money Network directly tomorrow like @Misterclamation Skyblue suggested, and if that doesn't work I'll definitely look into that Claimyr service. Thanks everyone for sharing your stories and solutions - this community is already more helpful than any official PA UC resource I've found!
Hang in there @Nora Brooks! I'm also pretty new to this whole PA UC system and was shocked to discover how many hidden issues can pop up. The Money Network call is definitely worth trying first - it only takes a few minutes and will tell you right away if the problem is on their end or with UC processing. If Money Network says no pending deposits, then you'll know it's one of those invisible UC flags that everyone's been talking about. The Claimyr service seems to be the best way to actually reach someone who can see what's really going on behind the scenes. It's absolutely ridiculous that we need workarounds just to get basic information about our own claims, but I'm grateful this community exists to help each other navigate these problems!

UPDATE: I finally got through to someone today! For anyone with the same issue - I used the service that was mentioned above (Claimyr) and got connected in about 20 minutes. The agent was super helpful and updated my dependents info right away. She said since I'm still within the 14 day window, they'll recalculate my WBR with the additional dependents and it will be retroactive to my initial filing date. Thanks everyone for your help!

•Excellent! Glad you were able to get this resolved quickly. This is a great example of why it's important to review all your claim information carefully and correct any errors promptly. The $24 additional weekly benefit might not seem like much, but over a 26-week benefit period that's over $600 you would have missed out on.

So glad to hear you got it resolved! I'm actually dealing with a similar situation right now - I accidentally put down the wrong number of dependents when I filed my claim 3 days ago. Your post gives me hope that I can still get this fixed quickly. I'm definitely going to try calling first thing tomorrow morning, and if that doesn't work I'll look into that Claimyr service. It's crazy how such a small mistake can end up costing hundreds of dollars over the life of a claim. Thanks for sharing your experience and the update!

•You're definitely still within a good timeframe to get this fixed! Since you're only 3 days in, you should have no problem getting the retroactive adjustment. I'd recommend having all your dependents' info ready before you call - SSNs, birth dates, etc. The agent I spoke with was really efficient once I had everything prepared. Don't stress too much about it, the system is designed to handle these corrections as long as you catch them early. Good luck with your call tomorrow!

•@Hunter Edmunds gave great advice! I just went through this process myself and can confirm that having all the documentation ready makes a huge difference. One thing I d'add - when you call, be prepared to explain exactly what mistake you made and what the correct information should be. The agents seem to appreciate when you re'clear and organized about what needs to be changed. Also, don t'get discouraged if you get disconnected or can t'get through on the first try. The phone system can be glitchy but persistence pays off. You ve'got this!
