How long does PA UC review typically take? Been waiting 3 weeks for a decision

Mine was under review for about 4 weeks before I got a decision. They were checking my employment history because my former employer contested my claim. Just keep filing your weekly certifications even though you won't get paid until the review is complete. If your claim is approved, you'll get all the back payments at once.

it depends on why ur under review. if its bout wages or employer dispute it can take 4-6 weeks. if its identity stuff could be faster like 2 weeks. did u get any mail or notices? check ur dashboard messages section too, sometimes they ask for more info there

I HATE the review process!!! It took them SIX WHOLE WEEKS to review my claim back in January!!! And you know what the issue was? They claimed I didn't do enough work search activities one week even though I DID and uploaded proof!!! This system is BROKEN and they don't care about people who are suffering!! I had to take out a payday loan just to survive while waiting!!!

After trying to call the PA UC customer service for weeks with no luck, I discovered a service called Claimyr that helped me get through to an actual person at unemployment. It basically holds your place in line so you don't have to keep redialing yourself. I was skeptical but it actually worked and I was able to speak with someone who explained my review status. There's a video that shows how it works: https://youtu.be/CEPETxZdo9E?si=WL1ZzVZWG3KiHrg2 and their website is claimyr.com if you want to check it out.

Just went thru this last month! Mine was under review for exactly 5 weeks and 2 days. Keep filing your weekly claims! If approved they'll pay everything retroactively. Make sure you're still doing your work search activities too because if you stop doing those while waiting you could get disqualified.

Reviews can take anywhere from 2-8 weeks depending on the complexity of your case and current department workload. Here are some things that might help: 1. Make sure you've uploaded any documents they've requested 2. Continue filing your weekly certifications on time 3. Check both your portal messages and physical mail regularly 4. If you have a financial hardship due to the delay, note that when you eventually speak with a representative as they can sometimes expedite cases The most common reasons for reviews are employer disputes, wage verification issues, work search compliance, and identity verification. Without knowing which type of review you're under, it's hard to give a more specific timeline.

my cousin had something similar happen and his took like 2 months but my neighbor got hers resolved in just a couple weeks so i think it really just depends on what theyre reviewing tbh

UPDATE: I was able to use that Claimyr service that someone recommended here and actually got through to a UC rep yesterday! They said my claim was under review because my employer reported different quarterly wages than what I had entered. The rep said now that I've uploaded my pay stubs showing the correct amounts, it should be resolved within 7-10 business days. Such a relief to finally know what's happening! I'll update again when I get a decision.

FINAL UPDATE: Just got a notification that my review is complete and my claim was approved! All back payments should be deposited to my Money Network card within 2-3 business days. The whole review process took exactly 26 days from start to finish. Thanks everyone for your help and advice during this stressful time!
