Just wanted to follow up on this thread since a lot of people seem to be having the same issue. I spoke with a UC representative recently, and they mentioned this is a known issue with their system. They're supposedly working on a fix, but in the meantime: 1. Desktop/laptop is the most reliable way to view attachments 2. If using Chrome on mobile, request the desktop site (in settings) 3. Make sure you have a PDF reader app installed 4. Try different browsers if one doesn't work Also, for anyone reading this thread later - always check your dashboard messages at least twice a week. Important notices with deadlines are sent there, and you typically only have 7-15 days to respond depending on the type of notice.

This is such a relief to read! I'm a new claimant and just got my first dashboard messages today with PDF attachments that won't open on my phone. I was panicking thinking I'd broken something or that my claim was denied. Reading through all these responses, it sounds like this is just a widespread issue with PA's system. I'm going to head to the library tomorrow morning to check what's in those documents. Thanks everyone for sharing your experiences and solutions - this community is so helpful for navigating all the confusing parts of the UC system!

One more important thing to keep in mind - if you earn too much in a week (approximately 130% of your weekly benefit rate), you'll be considered fully employed for that week and won't receive any benefits. But that doesn't end your claim - you can still claim in future weeks when your earnings are lower. Just make sure you continue filing every week, even for weeks you may not receive a payment.

Just wanted to share my experience with PA partial benefits since I went through this same confusion a few months ago. Your understanding is absolutely correct - you can earn up to your $145 partial credit without any reduction to your $483 weekly benefit. I was in a similar situation and was terrified of making a mistake, but once I understood the system it worked smoothly. The key things that helped me: 1) Always report earnings for the week you actually worked (not when paid), 2) Report ALL earnings even if under the threshold, 3) Keep detailed records of your work dates and earnings, and 4) Don't forget your work search requirements. I've been doing part-time work for months now and it's been a lifesaver financially. Take that work if you need it - just follow the reporting rules and you'll be fine!

When I was on UC last year I had Wells Fargo too. For me it was: - First payment: Showed as 'payment issued' on Wed, hit my account Monday morning (so 3 business days) - All other payments: Usually 2 business days Don't stress too much, the first one is always slower but then it gets pretty consistent. If you biweekly claim date is always the same, you'll get in a rhythm of knowing exactly when money will hit your account.

I've been through this exact situation with Wells Fargo and PA UC! Here's what helped me manage the waiting period for my first payment: Set up account alerts so you'll get notified the moment the deposit hits, and consider calling Wells Fargo to ask about their specific ACH processing schedule (they usually process overnight between 2-4 AM). Also, if you're really tight on funds while waiting, some local food banks and churches have emergency assistance programs that can help bridge the gap until your UC payment arrives. The waiting is stressful but you're not alone - most of us have been in this exact spot!

when i started unemployment i thought i had to file on monday because my last day of work was monday but then my neighbor told me we can file any day of the week as long as its the right week i wonder if different days means different payment schedules too

I've been filing PA UC claims for about 8 months now and learned this lesson the hard way too! The processing schedule is pretty strict - Sunday filers usually get paid Tuesday/Wednesday, Monday filers get Wednesday/Thursday. I actually keep a calendar reminder set for 8am every Sunday now because those extra days waiting for payment can really mess up your budget when you have bills due. One thing that helped me was setting up text alerts through my bank so I know the moment the deposit hits. Hang in there - once you get into the Sunday routine it becomes second nature!

Great news! Just a tip for the future - always double-check your hours and earnings before submitting weekly claims. Taking an extra 30 seconds to review can save weeks of headaches. Also, keep a personal log of all your work hours separately from your employer's records. This makes it easier to accurately report and can help if there are ever disputes about your work history.

I just went through something similar a few months ago! Made the same mistake of reporting too many hours and panicked when I couldn't file my next claim. The key is persistence with calling - I know it's frustrating but they really do need to fix it manually. One thing that helped me was writing down exactly what happened before I called, including the correct hours vs what I accidentally reported. When I finally got through, having all that info ready made the call go much smoother. The rep appreciated that I was organized and honest about the mistake. Hang in there - these honest reporting errors are more common than you think and they're usually pretty understanding about fixing them!
