Since your benefit year is still active (it lasts 52 weeks from the initial filing date), you don't need to file a new application. You'll just restart weekly certifications. But everyone is correct that you'll need to address the job separation issue. Based on PA UC regulations, if the employer significantly changed the terms of employment (hours, pay, duties, location) from what was agreed upon at hiring, this can qualify as "necessitous and compelling" reason to quit. Documentation is key - emails, offer letter, texts about the job duties versus what was actually assigned. When you certify, be ready for there to be a delay while they investigate the separation. And you will likely need to complete the work search requirements again (applying to at least two jobs and completing one work search activity each week).

Just want to add - if you do end up having to wait during their investigation, you might want to look into your local food banks and assistance programs to help bridge the gap. I had to do this during my 6-week wait and it really helped. Also, don't let them intimidate you if they initially deny your claim. The appeals process exists for a reason and many people win on appeal even after being denied initially. Keep all your documentation organized and be persistent. Good luck!

Any update? Did contacting your state rep help move things along?

That's such great news that your state rep was able to help! I'm dealing with a similar situation - been waiting 9 weeks for my Board of Review decision after winning at the referee level. My employer didn't show up to that hearing either but here we are still waiting. Definitely going to contact my state rep's office tomorrow morning. Thanks for sharing the update - gives me hope that there might actually be light at the end of this tunnel!

After 2 weeks with no update on my UC claim I finally got through to a rep yesterday. Apparently my employer is contesting it (no surprise) but the agent said with my documentation I should be fine. Just a waiting game now!

I was in a similar situation with my union job at a steel plant. Got fired for "excessive tardiness" - was late 4 times in 6 weeks due to childcare issues. The union didn't fight for me during the termination but here's what saved me: I kept detailed records of every time I notified my supervisor AND I had the union contract which stated employees get progressive discipline (verbal warning, written warning, then termination). They skipped the written warning step completely! PA UC approved me because the employer didn't follow their own disciplinary procedures. Make sure you get a copy of your union contract and check if they followed all the steps. Also, being 10 minutes late with documented car trouble is NOT willful misconduct - you communicated proactively each time. That shows good faith effort to get to work. You should be fine!

my roomate says sometimes he gets the money at like midnight sunday not monday morning so maybe check sunday night too

I've been dealing with PA UC for about 8 months now and can confirm what others are saying - Wednesday filing almost always means Monday payment. The system is pretty rigid about their processing schedule. One thing that might help for future situations like this is setting up direct deposit if you haven't already - it typically hits a few hours earlier than the Money Network card. Also, many landlords are understanding about UC payment delays if you communicate with them ahead of time and show proof of your claim filing. Worth a shot to call them and explain the situation!

Just wondering did u get this fixed?? Im having a similar problem now with my claim

I'm so glad you got this resolved! Your experience really shows how helpful it can be to have medical documentation ready and to try the callback services when the phone lines are jammed. It's reassuring to hear that PA UC can actually handle these situations properly when you get the right person on the line. Hope you're doing better and taking care of yourself during this difficult time.
