How to access my previous PA UC claim history? Need proof from old benefit year

same issue last month!! the old claims dont show up in the regular dashboard you gotta click on "Payment History" then theres a dropdown menu where u can select previous benefit years. took me forever to find it lol

You need to request your official unemployment history through your PA UC dashboard. Look for "View Payment History" and there should be filters to see older claims. If that doesn't work, you can submit a formal request for records under "My Documents" and select "Request Claim Records." The system maintains records for at least 4 years, so your 2024 information will definitely be available. You may need to wait 24-48 hours for the system to process the request once submitted.

I went through this exact thing! You don't actually need to wait for the formal request to process. Instead, go to the Claims Information page and click on "View Claim Summary." There should be a small dropdown in the top right where you can select previous benefit years. Print that page as a PDF - it shows your weekly benefit amount which is usually what housing programs need for verification. Good luck!

I'm a career counselor who works with many unemployment claimants, and there are three ways to access your previous claim information: 1. Online request through "Request Claim Records" - takes 7-10 business days typically 2. Visit your local PA CareerLink office in person - they can print your records same-day 3. Call the UC Service Center directly - if you can get through, they can email your claim history For your housing application deadline, option 2 is probably your best bet. Just bring your ID and they can help you right away.

I had to get my old claim info when I was applying for a mortgage last year. Trying to call PA UC was impossible - busy signals for DAYS straight. I finally found this service called Claimyr (claimyr.com) that got me through to an actual UC agent in under an hour. They have a video showing how it works: https://youtu.be/CEPETxZdo9E?si=WL1ZzVZWG3KiHrg2 The agent I spoke with was able to email me my full claim history for the past 2 years within minutes. Saved me from having to delay my mortgage application.

UPDATE: I want to thank everyone for your help! I ended up trying three things: 1. Submitted the online request through "Request Claim Records" 2. Called using that Claimyr service someone mentioned (got through in about 30 min) 3. Also went to CareerLink in person just to be safe In the end, the UC agent I spoke with on the phone was able to email me a PDF of my complete payment history from my previous benefit year within minutes. Already forwarded it to the housing program people. CareerLink also printed copies for me as backup. Thanks again for all the suggestions!

i had the complete opposite experience trying to get my old claims records. the careerlink near me said they couldnt help with UC stuff anymore and told me to just call. the UC ppl never picked up and i had to ask my old landlord for an extension on proving my income. the whole system is so stressful!!!
