update: its working for me now! just checked and the login button works. maybe they fixed whatever was broken

Just wanted to add another tip for anyone still having issues - if you're using any ad blockers or security extensions like uBlock Origin or NoScript, try temporarily disabling them. The Money Network site uses a lot of third-party scripts and sometimes these extensions block the login functionality. I had this exact same problem last month and it turned out my privacy extension was blocking the authentication popup. Also, make sure you're going directly to www.moneynetwork.com and not clicking any links from emails or other sites, as those sometimes redirect to cached or broken pages.

I'm new to this community but found this thread while researching my own PA UC situation. What a goldmine of information! I've been dealing with a similar pattern - laid off from my manufacturing job in February 2025, worked a contract position for about 6 months, then got laid off again in November when they lost their biggest client. Reading through all these experiences has been incredibly reassuring. I had no idea you could file a new claim after your benefit year expires - the UC website makes it sound like you just exhaust your benefits and that's it. The rep I talked to last month didn't mention this option either, which makes me want to call back and specifically ask about it using the language others have suggested here. A couple things I wanted to add based on my experience so far: 1. Keep copies of EVERYTHING in both digital and physical form. I learned this when my laptop crashed and I almost lost all my employment records from the contract job. 2. If you're working with temp agencies or contractors, get your separation paperwork immediately when the assignment ends. Don't wait for them to mail it - some of these companies are terrible about timely paperwork. The job market in manufacturing is pretty rough right now too, so knowing there might be a second benefit year available after my current claim expires in February gives me a lot more confidence about making it through this downturn. Thanks to everyone who shared their experiences - this community is providing way better guidance than anything I've been able to get from official UC sources!

I'm new to this community but this thread has been incredibly helpful! I'm actually in a very similar situation - got laid off from my carpentry job in March 2025, found work with a different crew that lasted until January when the project wrapped up, and now I'm back on my original claim that expires in March. Reading everyone's experiences here has given me so much more confidence about what happens next. I had called PA UC a few weeks ago and the rep made it sound like I was basically out of luck once my current benefits end, but clearly that's not the case based on all the success stories shared here. The advice about starting the new claim application 2-3 weeks early is something I'm definitely going to follow. And the tip about calling at 7:45 AM when they open is brilliant - I've been avoiding calling back because I didn't want to deal with hours on hold again. One thing I'm wondering about - has anyone had experience with filing a new claim when your second job was significantly shorter than your first? My carpentry work from last year was about 7 months, but this recent project was only about 5 months. Will that affect my ability to qualify for a new claim, or is it more about total wages earned rather than length of employment? Thanks to everyone for sharing such detailed experiences - this community is providing way better guidance than anything I could get from the UC website or phone reps!

Hi Lisa, I'm dealing with a similar fraud investigation issue that's been dragging on for months. The IP investigations can be incredibly frustrating with how long they take. Have you tried calling the fraud hotline recently to get an update on your case status? Sometimes they can at least tell you if there are any additional documents they need from you. Also, if you haven't already, make sure you're checking your correspondence inbox on the UC portal regularly - they sometimes request additional information there. Hang in there, I know how stressful this waiting period can be!

This entire thread has been a huge eye-opener for me as someone who just started filing for PA UC last month! I had no idea about these hidden account flags that can block payments without showing up in our portal - that seems like a major design flaw that creates unnecessary stress for people who are already dealing with job loss. The fact that @Avery Davis, @Emma Davis, and others had to go through weeks of uncertainty just to discover invisible issues on their accounts is completely unacceptable. I'm definitely bookmarking that Claimyr service and the Money Network direct call tip in case I run into similar problems. It's really unfortunate that we need third-party services and community forums to navigate what should be a straightforward government system, but I'm grateful for everyone sharing their experiences and solutions here. This thread is proof that we're more helpful to each other than the actual PA UC system is to any of us!

I'm brand new to PA UC and just discovered this thread while researching my own payment delay issue. My portal has been showing a benefit date from last Tuesday but my Money Network card is still empty. Reading through everyone's experiences here has been both helpful and concerning - I had no idea about these invisible account flags that can mess up payments without us being able to see them! That seems like a massive flaw in their system design. I'm definitely going to try calling Money Network directly first thing Monday morning like @Misterclamation Skyblue suggested to rule out any card issues. If that doesn't reveal anything, I'll look into that Claimyr service since it sounds like talking to an actual UC rep is the only way to uncover these hidden problems. Thank you to everyone who shared their stories and solutions - this community thread has already been more informative than any official PA UC resource I've found. It's unfortunate that we have to rely on each other to navigate what should be a straightforward government system, but I'm grateful we're all here to help each other through this!

I'm about 3 days into my claim and this thread has been an absolute lifesaver! I was doing exactly what everyone described - just refreshing that main dashboard status obsessively and getting more stressed each time it still said "Pending." All these detailed breakdowns of what to actually look for have completely changed my approach. I had no idea there was a correspondence section to check, or that the Weekly Benefit Amount showing an actual dollar figure (instead of $0) was a key indicator to watch for. I also totally missed the CareerLink registration requirement - thank goodness people mentioned that here because I would have been scrambling to complete it later and potentially delaying my first payment. I spent this afternoon going through every section of my dashboard that people mentioned and found so much more information than I realized was there. Setting up text notifications and downloading the mobile app today too so I can stop compulsively checking the website. The timeline perspectives have been incredibly reassuring. Knowing that 2-3+ weeks is completely normal timing makes my 3 days feel much more reasonable. I was starting to worry something was wrong with my application. Planning to get my CareerLink registration done tomorrow and also call 211 to explore emergency assistance options just in case I need backup support while waiting. The automated phone system tip sounds really useful too - I'll definitely try that. Thank you to everyone who shared such practical, detailed advice from your actual experiences. This kind of real-world guidance is exactly what new filers need but can't find anywhere in the official resources!

I'm currently on day 4 of my claim and this thread has been absolutely incredible! Like everyone else, I was just staring at that "Pending" status getting more anxious by the hour. Reading through all these detailed experiences has given me such a clear roadmap of what to actually do and watch for. I had completely missed the CareerLink registration requirement - getting that done today before it becomes a problem later. Also had no idea about checking the correspondence section regularly or looking for the Weekly Benefit Amount to populate with real numbers instead of $0. I've been missing so much information hiding in other parts of the dashboard! The timeline reassurance has been huge for me too. Knowing that 2-3+ weeks is totally normal makes my 4 days feel much more reasonable. I was starting to panic thinking I did something wrong. Just set up text notifications and downloaded the mobile app so I can stop obsessively refreshing the website. Planning to call that automated phone line tomorrow to see if it has any updates, and definitely calling 211 to explore emergency assistance options while I wait. One question for anyone who's been through this - when people mention "open issues," do those always show up clearly labeled in the dashboard, or are they sometimes hidden/not obvious? I don't see anything that says "open issues" but want to make sure I'm not missing something important. Thanks to everyone for sharing such practical advice from your real experiences. This community knowledge is so much more valuable than any official FAQ I've found!
