One last tip - when you're entering your work information during the weekly certification, be super precise with your hours and pay. Round to the nearest dollar, not cent (PA UC system doesn't handle cents well for some reason). And if you have any issues with the calculation showing up wrong, take screenshots of everything before you submit. The system sometimes glitches with partial benefits calculations.

Just wanted to add one more thing that helped me when I was in a similar situation - keep a detailed log of your hours and earnings for each week. I used a simple spreadsheet with dates, hours worked, and gross pay. This made filing my weekly claims so much easier and also helped when I had to provide documentation later. PA UC sometimes asks for pay stubs or employer verification, especially if your earnings vary week to week. Having everything organized from day one saved me a lot of headaches down the road. Good luck with the new job!

This is such a helpful thread! I'm dealing with something similar where my former employer keeps disputing even after losing multiple times before. It's so frustrating that they can keep challenging every new type of claim. Reading about your success with getting the supervisor escalation instead of another hearing gives me hope. I've been getting nowhere with the regular phone lines - might have to try that Claimyr service too. The 6x WBA thing seems like such a pointless hurdle when your wages clearly qualify. Glad you finally got some resolution!

Just want to say this whole thread has been incredibly helpful! I'm in a similar boat with transitional UC - my former employer is disputing again even though they lost before, and I had that same confusing 6x WBA issue flag on my account. Reading through everyone's experiences, especially @Caleb's success story, really gives me hope that this can be resolved without going through another lengthy hearing process. The fact that knowledgeable reps can escalate repeat employer disputes to supervisors instead of forcing us through the whole appeals process again should definitely be more widely known. I've been banging my head against the wall trying to get through on the regular UC phone lines for weeks. Looks like Claimyr might be my next step. Thanks to everyone who shared their experiences - it's so reassuring to know we're not dealing with this broken system alone!

I've been dealing with PA UC for months now and here's what I've learned about work search requirements: 1. You need 2 work search activities per week minimum 2. Your Indeed applications absolutely count - just document everything (company, position, date, method) 3. Use your existing CareerLink account - no need for a new one 4. Keep your own records but don't upload them anywhere unless asked Pro tip: I started doing one CareerLink search + one job application each week to make it simple. For CareerLink, just search for jobs in your field and save a few to your favorites - that counts as an activity and takes like 10 minutes. The phone system is absolutely brutal. I've had success calling right at 8am when they open, but honestly most questions can be answered by reading the UC handbook online. Don't let them stress you out - as long as you're genuinely looking for work and documenting it, you're doing what you need to do. Keep your chin up - we're all in this together trying to navigate their ridiculous system!

Sean, I completely understand your frustration! I went through the exact same thing a few months ago - spent forever on hold only to get disconnected by someone who clearly didn't want to help. It's maddening when you're just trying to follow the rules correctly. What you're doing with Indeed is perfect! Just make sure you're keeping detailed records of each application (which it sounds like you already are). I use a simple Google Doc to track: date, company name, position title, where I applied (Indeed, company website, etc.), and any confirmation numbers if I get them. Your existing CareerLink account is totally fine to use - definitely don't create a new one. I actually recommend doing at least one CareerLink search each week since it counts as one of your required activities and only takes a few minutes. You can search for jobs, save some to your profile, and boom - that's activity #1 for the week. Then your Indeed applications cover activity #2. The key thing is just keeping good records for yourself. You don't need to submit them anywhere, but if they ever audit you (which is rare), you'll be covered. Don't let their terrible phone system stress you out too much - you're clearly doing everything right!

I'm in a similar situation - my payment date was 3/16 and I'm still waiting for my check too. This is also my first time with paper checks after having issues with the Money Network card. Reading through all these responses is really helpful though! Sounds like we just need to be patient since there are processing delays and postal service issues right now. I'm going to wait until Wednesday before calling that Treasury number someone mentioned. Thanks everyone for sharing your experiences - makes me feel less alone in this stressful situation!

I'm in the exact same boat! My payment date was 3/14 and still no check. This is my second week with paper checks after switching from the Money Network card (those ATM fees were killing me). Reading everyone's responses here is so reassuring - I was starting to panic thinking something went wrong with my claim. The info about Treasury taking 2 days to process before mailing plus the postal service delays makes total sense. I'm going to try that informed delivery signup someone mentioned so I can at least see when it's coming. Thanks for starting this thread, really needed to hear other people are experiencing the same thing!

I went through this exact same situation last fall when I moved from Pittsburgh to my sister's place in Maryland. The good news is you can definitely keep your PA benefits! A few practical tips from my experience: 1. Update your address ASAP in the UC system - don't wait until the last minute 2. Keep screenshots of your address change confirmation just in case 3. Make sure your new address can receive mail reliably (some apartments have issues with mail delivery) 4. When doing your weekly certifications, you can still mark that you're available for work - just be prepared to explain you're willing to work remotely or commute back to PA if asked The only hiccup I had was when they called me for a random eligibility interview about 2 months after I moved. The agent asked if I was still looking for work in PA and I explained I was focusing on remote positions and could commute back if needed. No issues after that. You're making a smart financial move - don't let the system stress you out more than necessary! Just stay on top of your weekly claims and keep good records.

I'm actually going through this exact situation right now! I moved to NJ from PA about a month ago while on UC benefits. Here's what I learned: The address update process is super easy - just log into your UC dashboard and update it under account information like others mentioned. My payments continued without any interruption. One thing I'd add is to make sure you keep track of your job search activities in a spreadsheet or something. Since you'll be living in NJ but claiming PA benefits, you want to be extra organized in case they ever ask about your work search efforts. I've been applying to both remote positions and jobs in PA that I could commute to from my new NJ location. Also, if you're planning to look for work in NJ too (which makes sense since you'll be living there), just remember those applications can count toward your PA work search requirements as long as you're willing to accept the position. The move has actually worked out great for me financially - I'm saving about $1200/month living with family, which is helping me build up some savings while I job hunt. Good luck with your move!
