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!

my cousin said apply for PUA if regular uc runs out
PUA (Pandemic Unemployment Assistance) ended in September 2021. That program no longer exists. Please be careful about outdated information as unemployment programs change frequently. The only options now are regular UC, PEUC has also ended.
Update: Used Claimyr this morning and got through to PA UC in about 15 minutes! The rep confirmed that I qualified for additional benefits within my current benefit year because I had enough work hours. They're processing it now and said my payments should continue without interruption. So relieved!
That's great news! I just tried the Claimyr service too and finally got through after weeks of trying. The UC rep said I do qualify for additional benefits since I've been working 20+ hours weekly throughout my claim period. She said to just keep filing my weekly claims as normal and they'll automatically transition me to additional benefits with no gap. Such a relief!

When my hearing happened four years ago my employer said they wouldn't attend but then showed up last minute!! Be prepared for that possibility too. The UC system is such a mess sometimes I swear... I had a completely different issue though (quit for health reasons) so maybe not relevant to your case sorry
make SURE ur on time to ur own hearing!!! my roomate was 5 min late to his phone hearing & the ref noted it in the decision against him (ironic since it was about tardiness lol). and DONT talk over the referee or interrupt even if the employer isnt there
Omg that would be awful! I'm planning to be at least 30 minutes early. Is yours in person or phone? Mine is at the UC office.
his was phone (during covid) but same principle applies! referee's can be really particular about that stuff especially if ur case involves attendance/tardiness stuff. good luck!!

UPDATE: You all are amazing!! I tried converting my files to PDF and it WORKED!!! The system finally accepted my appeal documents. I also went ahead and mailed a paper copy certified mail just to be safe like someone suggested. Thank you everyone for your help - I was having panic attacks over this!
Great news! Smart move sending the paper copy too - always good to have backup with PA UC. Make sure you keep checking your dashboard and email for updates on your appeal status. They should send confirmation within 7-10 days that they received it.
awesome!! this forum is the only place that actually helps with this stuff. the UC people themselves are useless
For anyone else who finds this thread with similar issues: Error 406 in the PA UC system typically means one of four things: 1. File format incompatibility (convert to PDF) 2. File size too large (keep under 4MB) 3. Account verification incomplete (check ID.me status) 4. Browser compatibility issue (try Edge or Chrome in incognito mode) Always keep documentation of your attempts to file, and remember that paper appeals are still valid as long as they're postmarked by your deadline date.
This should be pinned somewhere! I spent weeks stressing about this when it was just a file format issue. The UC website doesn't explain any of this clearly.

To answer your earlier question about finding your payment status: Log into your PA UC dashboard and look for 'Payments' in the main menu. Click on that, then select 'Payment History.' You'll see a list of your payments with statuses. Look for the most recent one - if it says 'Payment Issued' with the date, then it's been processed and is on its way to your card. As for switching to direct deposit, it's very simple. Go to 'Payment Options' in your dashboard, select 'Change Payment Method,' choose Direct Deposit, and enter your bank routing and account numbers. Takes about 5 minutes, and future payments will go straight to your bank account.
Thank you so much for the detailed instructions! I just checked and it does say 'Payment Issued' with yesterday's date, so I guess I just need to be patient. I'm definitely going to switch to direct deposit though - seems like it would save me a lot of stress in the future!
One important thing to know: if this is your first payment on the Money Network card, it can take even longer - up to 7-10 business days. After the initial payment, subsequent ones are faster (2-3 business days). Also, check if there were any holidays this week as those can delay processing by another day.
It's not my first payment, I've been using the card for a couple months now. But good to know for other people who might be reading this thread! I'm going to switch to direct deposit once this payment comes through.

This is why I switched to direct deposit instead of the Money Network card. I was having too many issues with delayed payments and random holds. With direct deposit, it's much more consistent - funds always hit my bank account Tuesday night/Wednesday morning without fail. You might want to consider switching if the card keeps giving you trouble.

•HOW do you switch to direct deposit?? I've been stuck with this stupid card for months and HATE IT! They charge fees for everything and customer service is USELESS when there's a problem. I've asked about direct deposit twice but got nowhere

•Log into your PA UC dashboard, go to "View and Maintain Account Information," then select "Payment Information" and "Modify." You'll be able to enter your bank routing and account numbers there. The change takes effect for your next payment cycle. Make sure your bank info is 100% accurate or it will cause delays.
