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!

They should notify you about issues, but the system isn't perfect. Sometimes notifications get lost in spam filters or mail delivery issues. In some cases, the system flags an issue but the notification doesn't generate correctly. I'd recommend checking your spam folder daily and also seeing if you can visit a PA CareerLink office in person. They don't process claims, but they sometimes have direct lines to UC staff and can help identify what's holding up your claim. If you do get approved, you'll receive all eligible back payments for the weeks you certified, so you won't lose any money due to the delay (as long as you've been filing your weekly certifications).
That's at least somewhat reassuring about the backpay. I'll try visiting the CareerLink office this week. Thanks again for the help!
update on my situation - finally got through today after trying that Claimyr thing someone mentioned. turns out they needed my ID verification again even tho I already did it!! such bs but at least now I know. rep said payment should come in 3-5 business days and include all backpay.
That's great news! Frustrating that it was something so simple that they could have told you weeks ago. Let me know if you actually get your payment when they said you would!

So what happens if both states deny you??? My brother got caught between PA and Ohio claims and ended up with nothing for like 2 months until he got a new job.
If both states deny you initially, you have appeal rights in both states. However, in a situation like this where there's work in two states but not enough in either to qualify alone, you can request a combined wage claim. This allows you to combine your wages from multiple states to qualify for benefits. But you have to specifically request this - it doesn't happen automatically.
Just wanted to update everyone - I took the advice and filed with NC today. The online system was actually easier to use than PA's. Now I'm waiting to see what they say. I also managed to get through to someone at PA UC after using that Claimyr service (thanks for the recommendation). The agent said my Board appeal is showing as "pending review" which apparently means it's in the queue but hasn't been assigned yet. She also confirmed that filing in NC was the right first step regardless of the appeal outcome. Will update when I know more!
Great update! Sounds like you're on the right track. The Board typically takes 4-6 weeks to render a decision once they actually start reviewing your case, so keep that timeline in mind. Glad you were able to talk to someone in PA!

try calling right when they open but also try 30 min b4 they close. Sometimes the afternoon is better bc everyone tries in the morning
That's a good tip, I'll try calling late in the day tomorrow. I've mostly been trying mornings with no luck.
UPDATE: I tried that Claimyr service someone mentioned and actually got through to a PA UC rep today!!! They explained that my claim needed wage verification from both states. The rep put notes on my account and said it should be processed within 7-10 business days. They're also going to backdate all payments to my initial filing date. HUGE relief! Thanks everyone for the advice!
Great news! Make sure to continue filing your weekly claims during this time. And if you don't see movement after the 10 business days, don't hesitate to try reaching out again. Glad you got some answers!
awesome! told u it would work out eventually. uc is slow but they do pay everything once approved

I'm going through the same thing right now too! Filed my appeal 3 weeks ago for the same reason - job search requirements. Still waiting for any update. My anxiety is through the roof. Let me know what happens with yours!
Will do! This waiting game is definitely stressful. Fingers crossed we both get good news!
THE ONLY WAY TO GET ANYTHING DONE WITH PA UC IS TO CALL YOUR STATE REPRESENTATIVE!!!! I waited 10 weeks for a hearing and nothing happened until I contacted my rep's office. Suddenly my hearing was scheduled for the next week. The whole system is designed to make you give up!!!
While contacting your state representative can sometimes help with long delays or unusual situations, most appeals do proceed normally without this intervention. The current standard processing time for appeals is typically 4-8 weeks, though it can sometimes take longer during busy periods. If it's been more than 8 weeks since the appeal deadline and you haven't received a hearing notice, then reaching out to your state representative could be a good option. But for most people, the system does work within the expected timeframes.

I've checked everything - dashboard messages, email (including spam), even my physical mail multiple times. The only communication about deadlines was the letter with the June 25 date. Nothing anywhere about June 11th until they suddenly declared I missed that deadline.
