This thread is so helpful! I'm dealing with a similar RESEA issue right now - got flagged even though I submitted job search documentation. It's reassuring to see that Dylan's case got resolved in 8 business days without needing to call back constantly. I think I'll follow the advice here about being patient but documenting everything, and checking my dashboard twice daily. The fact that no notification was sent when it cleared is good to know - I would have been waiting for an email that never comes!

Really glad to see Dylan got their issue resolved! I'm new here but dealing with a similar situation - got an open issue for missing my RESEA appointment even though I provided proper notice that I found employment. This thread gives me hope that the system does eventually work, even if it takes time. The advice about checking the dashboard daily and not calling repeatedly while it's with an examiner seems really smart. I'll definitely document everything like Jason suggested. Thanks to everyone for sharing their experiences - it's so helpful to know we're not alone in dealing with these frustrating system glitches!

Just want to add that as someone who's been dealing with PA UC for a while, the system can be really frustrating but it does work once you understand the timing. The key thing is that you're not actually "missing" anything by having to wait until Sunday - that's just how their weekly filing schedule works. When you file on 3/2, you'll be claiming for the week ending 2/29, which includes those 3 days you worked. Make sure you have your exact gross earnings ready (before any taxes or deductions), and don't stress too much about the reopening process - it's pretty standard. The most important thing is accurate reporting of your earnings and work search activities. You've got this!

I went through something very similar when I was doing temp work last year! The waiting period after reopening a claim is totally normal - it's not that you missed your window, it's just how their system batches everything. When you file this Sunday, you'll be claiming benefits for the week that just ended (which includes those 3 days you worked). Just make sure you report your gross wages accurately and remember that in PA, you can earn up to about 30% of your weekly benefit amount before it starts reducing your payment. Also keep your pay stub handy in case they ever audit your claim later. The partial benefit system actually works pretty well once you get used to the timing!

So glad you got this resolved! Your experience is a perfect example of why it's so important to know your rights in the UC system. Employers often try intimidation tactics or attempt to exploit any opening they can find, especially when they realize they missed their initial opportunity to contest a claim. The fact that your employer showed up at a backdate hearing trying to contest your entire claim shows they either don't understand the process or were hoping to confuse the situation. Good on the referee for keeping things on track and explaining that separate issues require separate appeals. This is also a great reminder for anyone reading - always document everything and know your timelines. Employers have the same deadlines we do, and the system does enforce them (when it works properly). Hope your backdate decision comes back positive!

This is such a valuable thread for anyone dealing with PA UC appeals! Your situation really highlights how important it is to understand the different types of hearings and appeal deadlines. I went through something similar last year where my employer tried to bring up issues at a hearing that weren't even related to what we were there to discuss. It's frustrating that employers sometimes try these tactics, but I'm glad the system worked as it should in your case. The 15-day appeal deadline is there for a reason, and it sounds like the referee handled it properly by keeping your backdate hearing focused on the actual issue. Your experience getting through to a PA UC rep is also really helpful - so many of us struggle with those phone lines! Thanks for sharing the update and congrats on getting the clarity you needed. Hope your backdate decision comes through soon!

I just dealt with this exact issue yesterday! What worked for me was a combination of a few things: First, I cleared my browser cache completely (not just cookies but the entire cache), then I switched to Edge and made sure to disable all browser extensions including ad blockers. The key thing that seemed to make the difference was accessing the portal during off-peak hours - I tried around 6:30 AM and the attachments opened right away. I think the server load during busy times might be making the attachment loading even more unstable than it already is. Also, for anyone still struggling, I found that some PDF attachments work better if you right-click and "Save As" instead of trying to open them directly in the browser. Good luck everyone - this system is definitely frustrating but don't give up!

I've been dealing with this attachment issue for over a week now and it's been incredibly frustrating! After reading through all the suggestions here, I wanted to share what finally worked for me. I tried the Edge browser + early morning approach that @Dana Doyle mentioned, and it was a game changer. I logged in at 6:15 AM, completely cleared my cache first, and disabled all my browser extensions. Three out of four attachments opened perfectly! The fourth one I had to use the right-click "Save As" method. It seems like the combination of low server traffic in the early morning plus a clean browser environment really helps. For anyone still struggling, don't lose hope - this system is definitely broken but there are workarounds. I also want to echo what others have said about calling - if you absolutely can't get the attachments to work, keep trying the phone lines. I know it's a nightmare but eventually you'll get through. Stay persistent everyone!

This is super helpful, thank you! I'll start tracking everything in a spreadsheet right away. Really appreciate everyone's help explaining all this!

Hey Charity! I went through the exact same confusion when I first filed for PA UC benefits. That "no violation" language is definitely confusing - I actually thought it meant I was disqualified at first too! But everyone here is right - it's actually good news for you. It just means your employer confirmed they didn't fire you for any misconduct or policy violations. Since you were laid off and have that "no violation" status, plus you mentioned getting a financial determination with a weekly benefit amount, you should be all set to receive benefits once you complete your weekly certifications. Just make sure to file those certifications on time every week and keep track of your work search activities like Hazel mentioned. You got this!
