Can I file PA UC weekly claim for husband in rehab with resea requirement? Urgent help needed!

Call the UC service center ASAP. Its technically not allowed for u to file FOR him but there are exceptions for medical situations. Theyll probably tell u to get a note from the facility 2 prove hes there. My brother had similar thing when he was hospitalized.

This is a situation where you need to contact the PA UC service center directly since it involves both medical unavailability AND a RESEA requirement. The good news is that temporary medical unavailability can be documented without losing benefits in many cases. For the RESEA appointment, you should call and explain the situation immediately - they can reschedule these appointments when there are documented medical reasons. Make sure to get documentation from the treatment facility that includes admission/discharge dates. Keep in mind you'll need to report this for each week he's unavailable, not just once.

The same happened with my daughter last year! SO STRESSFUL!! Make sure you keep calling the UC office even if busy. When you finally reach someone ask them to add a note to his file about the rehab stay. They should put a medical exemption or something

Based on my experience, here's what you need to know: 1. For medical situations like rehab, your husband qualifies for a temporary medical exemption. He's still eligible for benefits but needs proper documentation. 2. The RESEA appointment is mandatory, but there's a process to reschedule due to medical reasons. This needs to be done BEFORE the appointment date. 3. You'll need to handle this situation week by week, not just once. The biggest challenge is reaching the PA UC service center. I struggled with busy signals for 3 weeks when I had a similar issue with my RESEA appointment. I finally used Claimyr (claimyr.com) to get through - they have a service that connects you directly to a UC representative without the constant busy signals. Saved me hours of frustration. They have a video showing how it works: https://youtu.be/CEPETxZdo9E?si=WL1ZzVZWG3KiHrg2 Once you reach someone, explain both issues (the rehab stay and RESEA) in the same call to get everything sorted at once.

U CANNOT FILE FOR HIM!!! That's fraud and they will catch you! My cousin tried this and ended up with a overpayment of $4200!!! They check IP addresses and everything. DON'T DO IT!!!!

dont stress to much about the resea thing. i missed mine cause i was in hospital for 3 days and they just rescheduled it. just make sure u call them and tell them whats going on. the important thing is gettin documentation from the rehab place with exact dates he's there.

Has he tried asking if the rehab facility has any accommodation for important legal/financial matters? Sometimes they will allow supervised computer access for things like this. Worth asking!

Just to follow up on my earlier comment - make sure when you talk to UC, you specifically ask about the work search requirements during medical unavailability. Typically, when someone has an approved medical exemption, they're also temporarily exempt from the work search requirements for those specific weeks. But you need to get this confirmed and documented in his case notes by a representative.

update: I finally got through to someone at UC today after calling for 3 hours straight! They told me I can submit a paper form on his behalf with a doctor's note from the rehab facility. They're also rescheduling his RESEA appointment for late August when he'll be out. Thank you all for the advice - it really helped me figure out what to do!
