Just a follow-up about legislative claims since there's some confusion in this thread - they DO move faster, but they don't change the eligibility rules. I got my determination in 8 days after my rep flagged my claim. Also, if you're sending in medical documentation, call your state rep's office again and let them know you've submitted everything so they can flag your file again. Sometimes files get "unstuck" but then sit in another queue unless the rep keeps checking on it.

Quick update on my earlier comment - regarding the text messages with your supervisor, YES these can absolutely count as evidence. Print them out, organize them by date, and highlight the parts where you requested accommodation and were denied. Note that if your case goes to a referee hearing (appeal), these would be admissible evidence. Also, if any coworkers witnessed your conversations about accommodation, get their statements in writing if possible. The more documentation you have, the stronger your case will be for showing you had necessitous and compelling reason to leave that job.

btw did u set up direct deposit when u filled out your initial claim? sometimes people miss that part and then they automatically send u a debit card which takes way longer

my buddy just went thru this whole process and his first payment showed up wednesday but got approved on a friday so maybe its always like 3 business days?

btw make sure u answer NO to the question about if u were able 2 work and available 4 work if u were sick or on vacation during any days. my friend messed that up and got in trouble later

Glad you got it sorted out! One last tip: set a reminder on your phone for your bi-weekly filing. The PA UC system follows a Sunday-Saturday calendar, and you file for two weeks at a time. Your filing day depends on the last digit of your Social Security Number. Missing filing windows can create even more headaches.

my cousin works at the UC office and she says they get this question all the time! lots of people think benefit year = time receiving benefits but its actually from application date no matter what. she said just make sure to file right away when september hits and you should be fine if you worked those months

A final note: Be prepared to provide income verification for that October-March period when you file your new claim. Having pay stubs or W-2 information ready will speed up the process. Also, even though your benefit year ends in September, continue filing your weekly certifications until then to receive all benefits you're entitled to from your current claim.

my neighbors cousin had this happen and the irs audited him anyway even after he got the corrected form just sayin be prepared for that possibility they dont always communicate between agencies

While it's true that audits can happen, if you have proper documentation showing you reported the fraud and received a corrected 1099-G, you'll be fine. Always keep copies of your correspondence with PA UC and the corrected form for at least 3 years after filing.
