UPDATE: I got the app working! For anyone else looking - you need your card number, the expiration date, and you'll create a username/password. It shows my balance right on the main screen after logging in. Looks like I can also set up alerts for when deposits happen which is super helpful. Thank you all for the help! Going to look into that direct transfer option too.

Just a heads up for everyone - if you're having trouble with the Money Network app or website, try clearing your browser cache/cookies or updating the app. I had issues logging in for weeks and it turned out to be a simple cache problem. Also, make sure you're using the correct Money Network site (moneynetwork.com) - there are some fake lookalike sites out there that will steal your info. Stay safe everyone!

i just remembered that on mine the first 2 payments were full amount then tax started on the 3rd payment. exactly like yours. i think its just how their system works for some reason

I went through the exact same thing a few months ago! The timing is so weird - like why do they wait until the 3rd payment to start the tax withholding? It definitely caught me off guard too. I actually called them about it (after waiting on hold for 2 hours) and they confirmed it's just how their system processes new claims. The agent said something about giving people time to adjust their settings before the withholding kicks in, but honestly it just seems random. At least now you know what to expect going forward!

I took a vacation last summer while on UC and everything went fine. Just be honest on your claim form.

I went through this same situation a few months ago and can confirm what others have said - definitely file your weekly claim even for the vacation week. I was nervous about it too, but marking "no" for being able and available during vacation days didn't cause any issues at all. The system is set up to handle this. Just make sure you have your work search activities ready to go when you get back from vacation, and you should be all set. Enjoy your trip!

Just wanted to follow up - were you able to reopen your claim successfully? Any issues with the process? I'm curious because I might be in a similar situation soon if my hours get cut any further at my current job.

Glad to hear you got your claim reopened successfully! Just a heads up - sometimes there can be a slight delay in the first payment after reopening while they process all the work history info you entered. Don't panic if it takes an extra week or two. I had a similar experience last year and it took about 10 days for my first payment to come through after reopening. Keep filing your weekly certifications on time even if payments are delayed - that's the most important thing. Hope you find something more stable soon!

make sure u save a copy for ur records too. they only keep them available for like a year or something

Just wanted to add for anyone finding this thread later - if you can't access your PA UC dashboard for any reason (locked account, forgot login info, etc.), you can also request a duplicate 1099-G by calling their customer service line or sometimes through their online contact form. But definitely try the dashboard first since it's way faster! Also make sure to download it as soon as you find it because like others mentioned, they don't keep them available forever online.
