Can I still file PA UC weekly cert after missing deadline? Need PIN help urgently

You still have time to file! PA UC allows you to file by phone using PAT (Pennsylvania Automated Touch) system when you miss the online deadline. Call 888-255-4728 to file your weekly certification by phone. You have until Friday of the week after your regular filing week. For your PIN issue, you'll need to use the "Forgot PIN" option on the PA UC website. They'll mail a new PIN to your address on file, but that takes 5-7 business days. If you need it faster, call the UC service center at 888-313-7284, but be prepared for a long wait time.

i had same problem last month. just call them they will help u but good luck getting thru lol took me 3 days of calling nonstop

Don't panic yet! PA gives you 2 weeks from the end of your claim week to file weekly certs. Just be aware that if you miss multiple weeks, they might close your claim and you'll have to reopen it (which is a whole other headache). The PIN thing is annoying but if you call in they can help verify your identity another way. Just make SURE you have your social security number, the address on your claim, and your banking info ready. They'll ask random verification questions.

I've been through this exact situation! The official PA UC policy is that you can file late weekly certifications for up to two weeks after your regular filing date. However, many people don't realize that filing by phone with PAT actually gives you a bit more flexibility. For your PIN issue, here are your options: 1. Use the "Forgot PIN" feature on the UC website - they'll mail a new one (5-7 days) 2. Call the UC service center at 888-313-7284 and verify your identity to get PIN help 3. Visit a PA CareerLink office in person (bring ID) for immediate PIN assistance I've personally had the most success with option 3 when I was in a similar situation. The wait times on the phone are brutal, and mail takes forever.

When I had this problem last year I used Claimyr to get through to an actual PA UC rep right away. Normally you have to call like 50+ times but their system holds your place in line. Just went to claimyr.com and watched their demo video (https://youtu.be/CEPETxZdo9E?si=WL1ZzVZWG3KiHrg2) to see how it works. The rep helped reset my PIN over the phone after verifying my identity and I was able to file my missed week right then. Saved me days of stress!

Yes it's legit! They do charge for the service but it was worth it for me since I would have lost a whole week of benefits otherwise. They basically handle the calling and waiting part for you, then connect you with an actual UC rep who can fix your PIN issue immediately.

THE PHONE SYSTEM IS A JOKE!!! I missed ONE certification and spent TWO WEEKS trying to get it fixed!!! They'll transfer you 5 times then disconnect you!!! THE SYSTEM IS DESIGNED TO MAKE YOU GIVE UP YOUR BENEFITS!!!! Don't believe me? Try calling them yourself and see how far you get!! 😠😠😠

Quick update on PIN recovery options since there seems to be some confusion: 1. Online PIN reset - Takes 5-7 days to receive by mail 2. Phone reset - Can be done same day IF you can reach someone 3. In-person at CareerLink - Usually same-day service, but bring multiple forms of ID Remember that for security reasons, they won't give you your PIN over email or text. It has to be by mail or in-person verification. For the missed certification: You have exactly two weeks after the end of your claim week to file a late certification, but it's best to do it ASAP to avoid payment delays.

Just wanted to share that when I missed filing online, I had a good experience using the PAT phone system. Just have your SSN ready and follow the prompts. The system will walk you through everything step by step, including the work search questions. It's actually easier than the website sometimes!
