ugh classic PA UC mess up! glad u got it sorted out but so annoying about the 2 week delay š make sure u keep filing ur weekly claims while u wait for the new hearing!!!
Thanks for the update. This is exactly the kind of clerical error I suspected. Make sure you use these two weeks to thoroughly prepare for your hearing. Review all your documents, practice explaining your case clearly and concisely, and be ready to address any points your employer might raise. Good luck with your hearing!
i think its because of the job search requirements. They doing extra checks cuz so many people not doing their work searches right. My buddy got audited last week and they made him prove all his job contacts. Make sure yall keeping records!!!!
oh crap i havent been saving my job search stuff. just putting in the system. are we supposed to keep copies??
**UPDATE: PA UC has now posted on their official Twitter that there was a processing delay affecting claims filed 5/10-5/12. All claims are being processed and payments should appear in accounts on their regular schedule or with a 1-day delay at most. They apologize for the confusion and recommend not calling about this specific issue as it's being resolved system-wide.**
Just so you know, if your payment doesn't appear by the end of business today, you should check your PA UC dashboard to make sure there wasn't an issue with your weekly certification or an open issue on your claim. Sometimes payments get held up if there's a problem with the claim itself rather than just a processing delay.
Just checked my dashboard and it says payment date was yesterday with status 'processed' - I guess that means it's just delayed in getting to my card? Will keep waiting but might try that Claimyr service if it doesn't show up by afternoon.
This happened to me twice in January. Both times I was panicking, but the money showed up around 10am-11am. The UC rep I eventually spoke with explained that there are different processing batches that run throughout the day. First batch usually hits overnight, but if you miss that cutoff, you might be in the mid-morning or afternoon batch. Whatever you do, don't pay for that boost feature! It's just Money Network trying to collect fees for something that will happen anyway.
Thanks everyone for the help! Just wanted to update - my payment FINALLY showed up at 11:32am. Such a relief! Definitely wasn't worth paying for that boost thing.
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!!!
This is an important warning. PA UC overpayment notices should never be ignored, even if you believe they're in error. If you miss the appeal deadline, Pennsylvania can and will: ⢠Garnish your wages (up to 25%) ⢠Intercept your state tax refunds ⢠Place liens against your property ⢠Add significant interest and penalties to the original amount ⢠Report the debt to credit bureaus In some cases, they can even pursue criminal charges for unemployment fraud if they believe the overpayment was intentional, though this is rare for system errors like these 2021 notices appear to be.
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.
That's such a relief to hear! I have my appeal phone interview scheduled for next Tuesday. I've gathered all my documentation showing I started work in August 2021 and never claimed benefits after that. This gives me hope it'll be resolved quickly. Thanks for updating us!

THE WHOLE SYSTEM IS DESIGNED TO MAKE YOU GIVE UP!!!! I waited 14 weeks for my hearing and then they CANCELED it the day before because the "referee was sick" and rescheduled for another MONTH later!!! Its a complete joke and nobody cares about us regular people trying to survive.

ā¢This happened to my neighbor too! His hearing got rescheduled twice and took almost 5 months total. The system is definitely broken.

Update: I finally called the appeals office directly and they told me my hearing is tentatively scheduled for early March! That's about 10 weeks from when I filed the appeal. They said I should receive the official notice in the mail about a week before the actual hearing. Thanks everyone for your help and advice!

ā¢Great news! Make sure to start preparing now. Review the reason for your denial and gather evidence that counters it. If you were denied for misconduct, bring documentation showing you followed company policy. If it was about availability for work, bring proof you're actively seeking employment. Having organized documentation makes a huge difference in these hearings.
