How to get PA UC 1099-G tax form without logging in or printing? Forgot password!

Thank you!!! That's such a relief. Haven't seen it in the mail yet but I'll give it another week before I totally freak out. Any idea how long duplicate requests take to process?

Nothing in my mailbox yet 😭 But good to know they're actually sending them out!

That's helpful about the recovery option - I'll try that tomorrow. I do have access to the email I used for unemployment. Do you know if the temporary password comes right away or takes a while?

I'm skeptical about any service claiming to get through UC phone lines. Those lines are ALWAYS jammed. Does this actually work???

Yes it actually does work! I was skeptical too but I was desperate after trying for 3 days straight. You still have to wait a bit but nowhere near the hours or days of constant redialing.

Exactly what happened to me too! The UC system acts like everyone has perfect mail delivery and working printers. So frustrating.

While I understand the frustration, I should point out that you can also request that they email your 1099-G to you as a PDF if you verify your identity over the phone. That's often faster than waiting for a new paper copy to be mailed.

That's not really the best approach. The 1099-G shows tax withholding too, which you need for an accurate return. The IRS might not catch it immediately, but they can audit returns up to 3 years later and then you'd have to pay penalties and interest if anything was incorrect.

That's great news! Yes, the email option is definitely the fastest solution when you need it quickly. Glad you got it resolved before tax time!

Nice! How long were you on hold? I need to call about something completely different but dreading the wait times.

I was on hold for almost 2 hours 😫 Started calling right when they opened at 8am too. Wait times are still terrible unfortunately.

Wow, 2 hours is brutal but at least you got through! I'm dealing with a similar situation where I moved recently and my 1099-G probably went to my old address. Thanks for mentioning the email option - I had no idea they could do that. Definitely going to try calling and asking for the PDF version instead of waiting for them to re-mail it.

@Aisha Mahmood Definitely call and ask for the email option! Make sure you have your SSN and some other identifying info ready when you call - they ll'need to verify your identity before they can email it. The PDF comes through pretty quickly once they send it. Good luck with the 2-hour wait though... maybe try calling right at 8am like Makayla did!

This is such helpful info! I'm in a similar boat - staying at my mom's place temporarily and can't access my usual computer. The email option sounds perfect since I can access that from anywhere. Did they ask for any specific verification info beyond just SSN, or was that pretty much it?

@Amara Nnamani They asked for my SSN, date of birth, and the phone number I had on file with them. They also asked me to confirm my mailing address to make sure it matched what they had in the system. The whole verification process only took a couple minutes once I got through to someone. The rep was actually really helpful and understood that people sometimes need these documents quickly for tax purposes!

This is exactly what I needed to hear! I'm in a similar situation where I can't access my online account and haven't received the mailed copy yet. Had no idea they could email it directly - that's going to save me so much stress. Thanks for sharing the update and congrats on getting it sorted out before tax season gets crazy!
