Mine was classified as "non-fraud" too but they STILL denied my waiver request!! The whole system is designed to squeeze money out of people who can least afford it. They make the forms complicated ON PURPOSE so people will give up and just pay.

For those facing tax refund offsets due to PA UC overpayments, it's important to understand that there is a formal appeal process if you believe the offset was incorrect. You have 30 days from the date on the Treasury offset notice to appeal in writing. This is separate from the PA UC overpayment appeal process. Note that successfully appealing the tax offset itself is rare unless there's been a procedural error, but it's still an option available to you. Common successful appeal reasons include: 1. The debt was already paid in full 2. The debt was discharged in bankruptcy 3. You've established an approved payment plan (though this doesn't always prevent offset) 4. You weren't properly notified about the potential offset Also, if you filed jointly with a spouse who isn't responsible for the overpayment, they can file an Injured Spouse claim (Form 8379) to get their portion of the refund returned.

Has anyone tried using the UC Connect app? I had similar issues last year but found the mobile app was sometimes more reliable than the website for recovering login information. Also, for partial benefits, you need to make sure you're using the right claim type. Regular UC works for most reduced hours situations, but if your employer is using a Work Share program, there's a different process.

UPDATE: I managed to get through to PA UC! Here's what worked: 1. Used the PIN reset line (888-313-7284) first thing Monday morning at 7:58am 2. Got my PIN reset 3. Used the chat function on the website to recover my username 4. Was able to login and file my partial benefit claims for the past 3 weeks The agent told me that with partial benefits, I need to file every week even if my hours fluctuate. As long as I earn less than my weekly benefit rate plus the partial benefit credit (about 30% extra), I'll receive something. Thanks everyone for your help!

has anyone had there money just never show up on card?? im worried now

Update: My payment FINALLY showed up on my Money Network card this morning! That's over 4 days after my claim was approved and 2 days after Treasury said they posted the payment. I'm definitely switching to direct deposit today. Thanks everyone for the advice and sharing your experiences - at least I know I wasn't alone in dealing with this!

To check your correspondence preferences, log in to your dashboard, click on "User Settings" in the left sidebar, then "Correspondence Preferences." You can update your settings there to receive both electronic and paper copies if you want to be extra safe. And yes, all tax documents including 1099Gs should appear under "Important Documents" - not the regular message center.

My sister had this exact same thing happen but then she also got a SECOND 1099G in the mail two weeks later with different amounts! Super confusing. Called UC and they said the second one was correct after they recalculated her benefits. Make sure you're using the most recent one if you end up with duplicates.

my cousin got 1 of these last month and ignored it cuz he thought it was a scam lol now hes in big trouble with collections. dont ignore it!!!

Just wanted to update everyone. I had my appeal hearing yesterday for my similar overpayment notice. The examiner immediately saw the error when I showed my employment records. She said their system flagged a bunch of 2021 claims incorrectly during a recent audit. My case was dismissed on the spot! For anyone else dealing with this, definitely appeal and bring documentation of your employment during those weeks they claim you were paid.
