UPDATE: I finally got through to someone at UC Overpayment Services! I used the Claimyr service that someone mentioned above and it actually worked - got through in about 30 minutes. The agent confirmed that since I've been on my payment plan for over 8 months with consistent payments, I HAVE been removed from the Treasury Offset Program. She said it might take up to 2 weeks to show up when I call the offset line, but my refund should be safe. Such a relief! She's also sending me an email confirmation, which I'll be saving forever as suggested. Thanks everyone for your help!
To address your question about work search: Yes, you need to keep records of your work search activities for at least two years. PA UC can audit your work search at any time during that period.\n\nWhen you file your weekly certification, there will be questions asking if you completed your work search requirements. You'll need to answer \
my sister had part time job when she filed and it wasnt a big deal. just be honest on ur application and weekly claims and ull be fine
To summarize what everyone's saying: 1) File now based on your full-time job layoff, 2) Report your part-time bartending job and its earnings both on your initial application and weekly claims, 3) Start doing and documenting your work search activities immediately (even while still bartending), 4) Have documentation ready from your employer about the layoff reason, and 5) If you have trouble reaching someone at UC, consider using a service to help you get through. Once both jobs end, you should receive your full weekly benefit amount as long as you continue meeting all eligibility requirements.

Based on everything you've shared, I think you're in a pretty good position. You've submitted strong documentation (doctor's notes, school emergency logs) that directly addresses the reason for disqualification. The fact that they're proceeding without a hearing suggests your documentation was clear and comprehensive. Keep in mind that your decision will come in the mail first, before the online system updates. Watch your mailbox carefully over the next week or two. And if you do need to call for a status update, try early morning (7:58am, right before they open) for the best chance of getting through.

•That's really helpful, thank you! I'll keep an eye on my mail and try calling at opening time tomorrow. I've been checking my portal obsessively but sounds like that won't update first. Fingers crossed the decision comes soon - this waiting and uncertainty is so stressful when bills are piling up.
