IDme verification issues with PA UC after moving - no current address proof

same thing happened to my roomate. UC is such a pain now with all this identity stuff. he ended up having to wait 3 weeks for a bill to come to verify his address. not sure if theres a faster way sorry

You actually have a few options here: 1) You can use your lease agreement as proof of address with IDme if it shows your name and current address 2) If you've set up any utilities at your new place (electric, internet, water), you can use those statements even if they're electronic 3) You can request an in-person appointment at your local PA CareerLink office - they can help with identity verification issues Don't worry too much about "losing benefits" for these weeks. Once your identity is verified, your claim will be backdated to when you first became eligible (your layoff date). Just make sure you're still filing your weekly certifications even while this gets sorted out!

ID stuff is the WORST!!!! took me 6 tries to verify mine and i didnt even move!!!! the whole system is designed to make u give up i swear.

The IDme verification is definitely challenging in situations like yours. In addition to what's been suggested, here's what I'd recommend: 1. Try using the IDme video chat verification option - it's hidden in their help section but allows you to speak with a real person who can verify your identity using multiple forms of ID, even if your address doesn't match everything 2. Make sure you're entering your new address in PA UC's system exactly as it appears on whatever document you're using (including apartment numbers, directions, etc.) 3. If you have a bank account, you can often change your address online and immediately download a statement with your new address 4. For more complex ID verification issues, you can request to speak with an ID verification specialist at PA UC by calling the main number, but getting through can be extremely difficult

When I had this problem, I wound up going to my local post office and filling out an official change of address form IN PERSON. They gave me a receipt with my new address printed on it, which IDme accepted as proof of address. It was the only thing that worked for me, and it only took about 15 minutes at the post office. Worth a shot!

just wondering did u get this worked out? im about to move next month and worried ill have the same problem

Just as a follow-up tip for anyone else reading this thread with similar issues - once you get your IDme verification sorted out, make sure you immediately do these things: 1. Update your address with PennDOT for your driver's license/state ID 2. Update your address with the voter registration office 3. Make sure you've completed BOTH the mail forwarding AND the official change of address with USPS Doing these three things will save you countless headaches with government services like UC in the future. PA's systems all talk to each other, so consistency across these databases is important.

One more option that worked for me when I was in a similar situation - if you have any subscription services (Netflix, gym membership, etc.) that you've already updated with your new address, some of those can work as proof of residence too. I used my gym membership confirmation email that showed my new address and IDme accepted it. Also, if you've registered to vote at your new address (which you can do online in PA), that registration confirmation can sometimes work as well. The key is just having SOMETHING official with your name and new address on it, even if it's not a traditional utility bill or lease.
