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!

i had the same issue last yr and i kept filing my weekly claims and when it finally got approved they paid me for all the weeks i claimed so dont stop filing even tho it seems pointless. i know that doesnt help ur immediate $$ situation but at least youll get everything eventually
UPDATE: Great news!!! My claim was finally approved yesterday (9/8) and I received ALL my back payments today (9/11)! Almost $4,600 in total which is saving me from eviction. What worked: I called my state rep's office Monday morning, spoke with their UC liaison, and they submitted an inquiry that same day. By Wednesday afternoon my dashboard updated to show all my weeks as paid! Thank you all SO MUCH for your advice and support during this nightmare. For anyone else stuck in review status - definitely contact your state representative, it made all the difference for me.
SEE! The system only works when you force them to do their jobs! Glad you got your money, it's ridiculous you had to go through all this stress when they could have just processed your claim correctly in the first place!
Excellent outcome! This is exactly why we always recommend the state representative approach for claims stuck in review. Thanks for updating us - it's helpful for others to see what works.

anyone else think its weird that they make these hearings at such specific times but dont have any flexibility for real life? like some of us have kids and jobs and traffic exists lol. 9 minutes is nothing, they should have still let you in. the whole system feels like its designed to deny as many people as possible.
exactly!!! and then they wonder why people get so frustrated with the system. i bet if you were an employer who was 9 min late they'd have waited for you.
UPDATE: I filed the Request for Reopening form today and also used Claimyr to get through to an actual UC rep! The rep confirmed they received my written statement from yesterday and said they would attach it to my file. She said the referee will likely issue a decision on my original case within 7-10 days, but I should still be prepared to appeal if it goes against me. Thanks everyone for the help - will post another update when I hear something!
Excellent! You've done everything right. Make sure you continue filing your weekly claims while you wait. If you win your case, you'll be eligible for back payments for all the properly filed weeks.

THE SYSTEM IS RIGGED they make it impossible on purpose so people give up!! been through this 3 times now and its always something different
I'm starting to feel the same way! It's so frustrating when you're doing everything right but still can't get paid.
UPDATE: I finally got through this morning after calling around 20 times! The claims rep said my payments were on hold because they needed to verify my last employer's information, even though nothing showed up online about this. She released all three weeks of payments while I was on the phone, and said they should be on my card within 2-3 business days. Keep trying to call!
OMG AMAZING!! Congrats! This gives me hope. I'm going to keep trying to call tomorrow morning. Did you do anything special to get through or just keep redialing?
Just kept redialing over and over from 8am until about 9:30 when I finally got through. So annoying but worth it!

Just wanted to add - if your employer is being difficult about documentation, make sure to mention this to UC when you get a chance to speak with them. Document every attempt you've made to get your records (dates, who you spoke with, what was said). The referee can take this pattern of behavior into consideration. In my experience handling these cases, employers who withhold information often do so because it would support the employee's case.
I wish I had known this before the hearing! I did mention it briefly but didn't emphasize it enough. If I need to appeal to the Board, I'll definitely highlight this pattern more clearly.
Any updates?? Did you get your decision yet?? The waiting is THE WORST part of the whole horrible process!
Still waiting! It's been 14 days now. I did get confirmation that my certified letter was delivered to HR yesterday, so at least that process is moving forward. The anxiety is killing me though!

My sister works for unemployment (not in PA but another state) and she says theyre all SUPER backlogged right now!! She said never expect anything to happen when they say it will...always add at least 2-3 weeks to whatever timeline they give you and you'll be less disappointed!! Good luck!!!!

One other recommendation - keep filing your weekly certifications even while waiting for the determination. If your claim is eventually approved, you'll get retroactive payments for all properly filed weeks. If you stop filing during this waiting period, you may lose benefits for those weeks.

•Thanks for this reminder! I've been filing every week, but it's getting discouraging when they all just say "pending" for weeks on end. At least I know I'm doing the right thing.
