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!

One last piece of advice - when you eventually get your Notice of Determination, read it VERY carefully. If denied, the specific reason they cite for denial will be crucial for your appeal strategy. For example, if they deny because "employee knowingly violated established policy" your appeal would focus on proving either you didn't know about the policy OR that the policy wasn't consistently enforced. If they cite "theft of company property" you'd focus on proving the items weren't considered valuable inventory. The most successful appeals are the ones that directly address the specific reason given in the determination, rather than trying to make general character arguments.
Thank you, this is incredibly helpful! I'll make sure to focus my appeal on whatever specific reason they give if I get denied. Crossing my fingers it doesn't come to that, but at least I feel more prepared now.
I've been following unemployment cases in PA for a while, and your situation actually has some promising elements. The 5-month delay between incident and termination is really significant - PA UC looks at whether the employer's response was proportional and timely. If they truly considered it serious misconduct, why wait until someone reported it months later? Also, the fact that you had a positive performance review in January (after the November incident) suggests your employer didn't view it as misconduct at the time. This could be strong evidence that the termination was more about workplace politics than actual policy violation. Keep documenting everything - the timeline, your positive review, any evidence about similar incidents being handled differently, and especially anything showing the promotional items were considered disposable. Your case isn't as hopeless as some people are suggesting. I've seen similar cases get approved, especially when there's evidence the employer's response was delayed and disproportionate.

Congrats on getting your payments! This thread is super helpful for understanding the PA UC payment timeline. I'm currently dealing with a similar situation - my open issues cleared 3 days ago but still waiting for payment numbers to appear. Reading through everyone's experiences here gives me hope that it should process soon. The tip about taking daily screenshots is gold - definitely doing that now. Thanks for sharing your whole journey from start to finish!

UPDATE: I finally got through to someone at UC! They said there was a verification issue with my previous employer that was holding everything up. The representative cleared it and said I should receive payment for all three weeks within 3-5 business days. Such a relief! Thanks everyone for your help and suggestions. I'll update again when the money actually hits my account.
That's great news! Glad you were able to get it resolved. This is exactly why it's so important to actually speak with someone when your claim is stuck.
awesome! fingers crossed you get paid quick
Congrats on getting through and getting it resolved! This is exactly why I always tell people to keep calling until they get a real person. The verification issues are so common and they rarely notify you about them. Hope you get your payments soon and can catch up on those bills!
So happy to hear you got it resolved! I'm dealing with a similar issue right now - my claim has been stuck for 2 weeks and I was getting really worried. This gives me hope that it's probably just another verification issue. Did you have to provide any additional documentation when you spoke to the rep, or were they able to clear it up right away?

Update: I filed my new claim yesterday and got an email confirmation. The system still isn't letting me file for that last week though. I guess I'll just have to wait until the new claim is processed? Really hope I don't lose that week's payment.

•That's correct - you'll need to wait for the new claim to be approved first. The system won't let you file for any weeks until your new claim is active in the system. Once it's approved, you should be able to file for all eligible weeks, including the one that just ended. If you have any issues after approval or if it takes more than 2-3 weeks to process, that's when you might want to contact them directly.

I went through this exact same situation a few months ago and it's super stressful! The good news is that you absolutely will NOT lose that final week's payment - I was worried about the same thing. Once your new claim gets approved (mine took about 2 weeks), you'll be able to backfile for that week that ended on your BYE date. The system just won't let you file it until the new claim is active. Make sure you keep track of the dates so you don't forget to file for it once you're able to. Also, if you're still doing part-time work, make sure all your wage info is updated in the new claim so there's no delays with processing.
