Yes, you need to complete and document work search activities starting with your first week. When you file your weekly certification, you'll be asked if you completed the required activities. You need to keep records of your work search (job applications, networking events, etc.) in case you're selected for an audit. The PA UC system allows you to enter these directly into your dashboard, which I highly recommend doing rather than just keeping separate notes. If your claim gets stuck with an "open issue" status for more than 2 weeks, definitely try to reach a live agent. The chat feature on the PA UC website sometimes works, but phone is usually more effective for resolving complex issues.

One more tip that saved me a lot of headaches - screenshot everything! Take screenshots of your initial application confirmation, weekly certifications, and any correspondence. I had an issue where the system showed I missed a week when I definitely filed, and having that screenshot proof helped resolve it quickly when I finally got through to an agent. Also, if you're doing contract work, make sure you understand how to report any freelance income you might pick up while collecting - even small amounts need to be reported or it can cause overpayment issues later.

After trying for MONTHS to get my cross-program issue resolved through normal channels, I finally got it fixed by contacting my state senator (not representative). Their office has a dedicated staff person who deals with UC issues, and they have direct contacts with higher-level UC administrators. Within 3 weeks of involving them, my regular UC was processed and applied against the PUA overpayment. Might be worth trying if your state rep hasn't been helpful.

Hahahahha! Wear a mask and just STAY HOME! HAHAHAHAHA

To clarify what might be happening: The system sometimes triggers these questions when there's a wage cross-match discrepancy. This could mean: 1. An employer reported wages for you in error 2. Someone with a similar name or SSN had wages reported 3. A previous employer submitted late wage information 4. There was a system glitch in the wage reporting database Your best course of action is to call PA UC directly to verify there's no open issue on your claim. Continue filing your biweekly claims as normal while you investigate.

I tried calling PA UC about 30 times with no luck before using Claimyr. Got connected to an agent in about 25 minutes. They checked my account and found it was because my previous employer reported a small amount of vacation payout that overlapped with my first claim week. The agent removed the flag right away and my payment processed the next day.

This might sound crazy, but check your phone's blocked numbers list. I once accidentally blocked the number that was sending me 2FA codes and couldn't figure out why I wasn't getting them for weeks! 🤦‍♂️

Okay, so I've dealt with this exact issue before, and here's what I found out: 1. Email filters: Some email providers have aggressive filters that can automatically move or delete certain types of messages. Check your email settings and look for any rules that might be affecting these messages. 2. Server issues: Sometimes the problem is on their end. The 2FA system might be having temporary issues. 3. Browser extensions: If you're using any browser extensions, especially ad blockers or privacy tools, they might be interfering with the 2FA process. 4. Time sync: Make sure your device's time is correctly synced. 2FA codes are time-sensitive, and if your device's clock is off, it can cause issues. 5. Alternative 2FA methods: If they offer alternative 2FA methods (like an authenticator app), try switching to that instead of email or SMS. 6. Clear browser data: As someone else mentioned, clearing your cache and cookies can sometimes resolve weird login issues. 7. Try a different device: If possible, try logging in from a completely different device to see if the problem persists. If none of these work, you'll probably need to contact their support team. Good luck!
