PA UC Job Search Activities Not Showing on Dashboard After CareerLink Applications - Week 10

same thing happened 2 me. career link jobs DON'T show up on ur dashboard automatically!! u gotta enter them manually each week when u file ur weekly claim. its stupid since both r state systems but they dont talk 2 eachother

The PA UC system and CareerLink are technically separate systems that don't automatically share job application data, even though they're both state-run. You need to manually enter all your work search activities when you complete your weekly certification. Make sure you're recording company names, positions, application dates, contact information, and application method (online, in-person, etc.). Good job keeping your own records - that's exactly what you should be doing!

I got AUDITED on my work search last month!! They wanted proof of all my applications and I almost had a HEART ATTACK because I thought CareerLink was tracking everything!!! Thankfully I kept screenshots of every single application or I would have been DISQUALIFIED and had to pay everything back!!! The system is designed to TRICK US into failing the requirements!!

To clarify: PA requires at least 2 work search activities each week (applying to jobs is just one type of acceptable activity). While CareerLink is a great resource, it doesn't automatically transfer your application data to your UC dashboard. You must manually record all activities when filing your weekly claim. If audited, you'll need to provide verification of your reported activities. Written records with detailed information should suffice, but digital proof (screenshots, confirmation emails) provides stronger evidence. The PA UC system isn't trying to trick anyone - it's just that the two systems weren't designed to communicate with each other.

I had the same issue trying to contact someone at UC about this exact problem. Kept getting busy signals for weeks! I eventually used Claimyr (claimyr.com) to get through to an actual person at PA UC. They have this service where they'll call UC for you and connect you when they reach an agent. Saved me hours of frustration! They have a video showing how it works: https://youtu.be/CEPETxZdo9E?si=WL1ZzVZWG3KiHrg2. The agent confirmed that CareerLink applications need to be manually entered on your weekly certification.

just wanna add that u can do other activities besides job applications. attending job fairs, working on resume, updating linkedin profile all count too. need 2 per week.

For your manual entries, you should include: - Company name - Position applied for - Date of application - Method of application (online, email, in-person) - Contact information when available (hiring manager, website, etc.) To answer your original question - no, CareerLink activities do NOT automatically populate your UC dashboard, but they absolutely DO count toward your requirements when manually entered. Keep maintaining your detailed records and enter everything when you file your weekly claim. This should keep you in compliance with PA UC requirements.
