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!

anyone else notice how this ALWAYS happens right when your bills are due?? like they KNOW when you need the money the most and thats when they make it impossible to get through. the system is DESIGNED to make people give up on benefits they deserve!!!!
Honestly feels that way sometimes. I ended up having to take out a payday loan while waiting for my claim to process and then got stuck in a debt cycle. The whole system is broken.
@OP just wondering if you ever got through to someone? My claim just got stuck too and wondering if state rep or claimyr worked better for you?
UPDATE: My claim was finally approved yesterday! It was the state rep that did it. Their office contacted UC last Thursday, and by Monday I got a call from a UC examiner who needed one additional piece of information about my separation. I provided it on the spot, and my claim was approved the next day. 9 weeks total but at least it's resolved now. Hang in there!

My rep actually gave me a reference number for the inquiry they submitted. Did yours give you anything like that? Might be worth calling back to ask for it so you can reference it in future calls.
No, they didn't give me any reference number. That's a good point - I'll call tomorrow and ask if they have one or can give me some kind of tracking number for the inquiry.
One more thing I should mention - if your open issue is related to your separation from employment (quit/fired/laid off), having documentation ready will help. Things like separation letters, emails about your departure, or any relevant communication with your former employer. The examiner might ask for these to be uploaded or emailed when they call. Also, don't be surprised if the 'open issue' turns out to be something simple or even a system error. Often these long delays are due to claims being flagged by automated systems and then sitting in queues waiting for human review.
Thank you! I was laid off (company downsizing) and I do have the official separation letter from HR. I'll have that ready just in case. Really hoping it's resolved soon.

The PA UC system is SUCH a joke. They make up all these internal department names that mean nothing to regular people, don't explain ANYTHING clearly, and then expect us to just wait patiently while our bills pile up. I had a similar experience back in January - was told my claim was going to some special department for review and the rep couldn't even tell me how long it would take! Ended up waiting 17 days for my first payment. The whole system needs to be completely revamped.
17 days???? i waited over 2 MONTHS last year. consider yourself lucky!
Quick update for everyone in this thread - as of April 2025, PA UC has actually improved their internal processing times. "Cash UI" transfers are now typically completed within 48-72 hours according to the latest information from L&I. This is part of their system modernization that began rolling out in January. So @Original_Poster, you may see your payment sooner than expected!
That's amazing news! Thank you for the update. I'll keep an eye on my card and account.

Update: Mine just hit my account at 3:45pm! Much later than usual but at least it came through. Thanks everyone for the reassurance!

Glad to hear it came through! Just for future reference - PA UC processes payments in batches and sometimes banking holidays (even ones you wouldn't think of) can cause delays. As long as it shows \
