PA UC 1099G showing online vs mail delivery confusion - am I missing something?

This happened to me too! The UC system does both - they mail paper copies AND post them online. The online ones are sometimes delayed though. If you go to your dashboard and look under "Important Documents" (not the message center), it should eventually show up there. Mine arrived in the mail a week before it appeared online.

i got mine in mail only never saw it online either dont worry bout it as long as u got it for taxes ur fine

The PA UC system sends 1099Gs both ways to ensure everyone receives them. They're legally required to mail a paper copy, but they also post them online for convenience. The online version should appear under "Important Documents" section, but they're often delayed by 1-2 weeks after the paper ones are mailed. If you're concerned about missing documents, set up email notifications in your account settings. That way you'll get an alert whenever new documents are posted to your dashboard. You can also call the UC service center to confirm everything is set up correctly.

Is anyone else STILL waiting for their 1099G?? Mine hasn't shown up online OR in the mail and it's driving me CRAZY!!! I've been trying to file my taxes for weeks but can't without this form!! The UC website is USELESS as usual!!!

The way PA UC handles document delivery is inconsistent at best. I worked at H&R Block for 6 years and saw this ALL the time with unemployment docs. Some people only got mail, some only had online access, some got both. There's no rhyme or reason to it. My advice? Always check both places and keep physical copies of everything related to your UC claim. The system is just too unreliable to trust any single method.

I've noticed that it seems to depend on whether you selected paperless correspondence when you first signed up. If you opted for paperless, they sometimes STILL send paper copies of important tax documents anyway (like 1099Gs) but not always. If you're worried about missing something, you can always call and request a specific document be mailed to you. Just be prepared to wait on hold forever lol.

To check your correspondence preferences, log in to your dashboard, click on "User Settings" in the left sidebar, then "Correspondence Preferences." You can update your settings there to receive both electronic and paper copies if you want to be extra safe. And yes, all tax documents including 1099Gs should appear under "Important Documents" - not the regular message center.

My sister had this exact same thing happen but then she also got a SECOND 1099G in the mail two weeks later with different amounts! Super confusing. Called UC and they said the second one was correct after they recalculated her benefits. Make sure you're using the most recent one if you end up with duplicates.
