UPDATE: I finally got through to someone at UC after using that Claimyr service. The agent was actually really helpful and filed an emergency hardship petition for me. They said I should hear back within 7-10 days on whether I can get any of the recouped money returned. They also connected me with a local housing assistance program that might be able to help with temporary housing until this gets sorted out. Will update again when I hear something. Thank you all for your advice!
That's excellent news! Make sure to keep following up if you don't hear back within the timeframe they promised. The housing assistance program should definitely be able to help with temporary accommodations - they often have funds specifically for situations like yours. Wishing you the best of luck!
keep fighting!!! the system wants us to give up but we deserve our money!!!! 💪💪
btw has anyone had issues with the Money Network card after getting through the cash office review? they finally approved my payments but then the card never showed up and i had to wait ANOTHER two weeks!!
UPDATE: I called again this morning (took forever to get through) and finally got more info. They said the Cash Office review was triggered because I had a previous claim from 2023 and they needed to verify I wasn't getting double payments or something. The rep said it should be processed by Friday! Fingers crossed she's right. Thanks everyone for your help!
Great news! Thanks for updating us. That Friday timeline sounds right based on my experience. The previous claim connection makes sense too - they're very careful about overlapping benefit years.
hope it comes through on time!! let us know what happens
lol everybody acting like 5 days is some huge wait time. i waited 6 WEEKS last year when they flagged my account for "out of state ip address" just cuz i was using my sisters wifi. pa uc is completly broken, dont expect anything to be fast
Quick update on timing expectations: According to the PA UC processing schedules for 2025, they're processing new gig/part-time income reports within 5-7 business days right now due to staffing issues. So if you reported that $65 income, you're still within the normal processing window. If nothing changes by next Tuesday, then I'd definitely reach out.
Thank you! That's really helpful to know. I'll wait until Tuesday, and if there's still no change I'll try to contact them. Really appreciate everyone's advice and sharing your experiences.
I was in a similar situation last summer when my school district switched bus contractors. Getting through to PA UC was impossible until I used Claimyr.com. They connect you with UC agents by basically waiting on hold for you, then call you when they get someone. Saved me days of frustration and got my claim fixed in one call. They have a video showing how it works: https://youtu.be/CEPETxZdo9E?si=WL1ZzVZWG3KiHrg2. Worth it when you're dealing with something complicated like a company buyout situation.
Does that service actually work??? I've tried calling UC like 50 times for my issue and it's ALWAYS busy!!!
UPDATE: Finally got through to someone at UC this morning! For anyone with a similar situation: they told me that when there's a company buyout/acquisition, they need to review the claim manually to establish the "successor employer" relationship. The agent put notes on my claim explaining the situation and said it should be resolved within 7-10 days. She also told me to continue filing my weekly certifications in the meantime even though they'll show as "pending" until the issue is fixed. Thanks everyone for your help!
I used that Claimyr service someone mentioned above. Honestly didn't think it would work but it did! Got a call back when they reached an agent.

UPDATE: I filed my new claim last night and was able to speak with someone at UC this morning using that Claimyr service (it actually worked!). The agent confirmed I should file my weekly claim too. She said my new claim should be processed within 7-10 days and payments might only be delayed by 1-2 weeks max. She also noted this in my account to help speed things up. Thanks everyone for the advice!

•Great news! Make sure to keep filing weekly claims during this transition period as mentioned above. Also, you might need to complete ID.me verification again for the new claim, so watch for emails about that.
