One last suggestion - check if your claim crossed over a quarter boundary. PA UC sometimes needs to recalculate benefits when a new quarter starts because they look back at different months for your base period. This can sometimes trigger a redetermination that looks concerning but is actually just administrative. Regardless, definitely pursue both the appeal and trying to reach someone by phone. Document everything, including all your attempts to contact them. If you do need to appeal, having a record of your attempts to resolve the issue will help your case.

i heard they're doing a system update this month too so maybe it's just a glitch? my friend said her claim looked weird for like a week and then fixed itself without her doing anything

i had the audit for new hire thing too and what actually happened was my previous employer told them i quit when i was actually laid off!!! make sure u check with ur previous employer what they told UC cuz sometimes they lie to avoid their UI tax going up. it took me going to a hearing to finally get my money (like 3 months later).

Just to add one more important point - make sure you're checking both your dashboard AND your physical mail. PA UC often sends determination letters via regular mail that don't show up in the online system. And sometimes they'll send requests for additional information this way too. If you miss responding to one of these, it can further delay your claim.

my cousin said apply for PUA if regular uc runs out

Update: Used Claimyr this morning and got through to PA UC in about 15 minutes! The rep confirmed that I qualified for additional benefits within my current benefit year because I had enough work hours. They're processing it now and said my payments should continue without interruption. So relieved!

UPDATE: You all are amazing!! I tried converting my files to PDF and it WORKED!!! The system finally accepted my appeal documents. I also went ahead and mailed a paper copy certified mail just to be safe like someone suggested. Thank you everyone for your help - I was having panic attacks over this!

For anyone else who finds this thread with similar issues: Error 406 in the PA UC system typically means one of four things: 1. File format incompatibility (convert to PDF) 2. File size too large (keep under 4MB) 3. Account verification incomplete (check ID.me status) 4. Browser compatibility issue (try Edge or Chrome in incognito mode) Always keep documentation of your attempts to file, and remember that paper appeals are still valid as long as they're postmarked by your deadline date.

To answer your earlier question about finding your payment status: Log into your PA UC dashboard and look for 'Payments' in the main menu. Click on that, then select 'Payment History.' You'll see a list of your payments with statuses. Look for the most recent one - if it says 'Payment Issued' with the date, then it's been processed and is on its way to your card. As for switching to direct deposit, it's very simple. Go to 'Payment Options' in your dashboard, select 'Change Payment Method,' choose Direct Deposit, and enter your bank routing and account numbers. Takes about 5 minutes, and future payments will go straight to your bank account.

One important thing to know: if this is your first payment on the Money Network card, it can take even longer - up to 7-10 business days. After the initial payment, subsequent ones are faster (2-3 business days). Also, check if there were any holidays this week as those can delay processing by another day.
