PA UC 'Missing Wages' active issue appeared suddenly - still unemployed but payments stopped

calm down its probly just a glitch in there system. happens all the time with PA UC. check again tmrw might fix itself

Missing" wages typically means PA UC is questioning whether your reported wages match what your(employer) s reported. This could happen for a few reasons: 1. Your'employer s quarterly wage reports'don t match what you reported when filing 2.'They re investigating whether you had unreported earnings during weeks you claimed benefits 3. There could be a discrepancy with your base year wage calculations Unfortunately, this'won t resolve itself without contact with UC.'You ll need to speak with an examiner to clear itup.

i had something similiar happen to me back in january. missing wages issue popped up and payments stopped. turned out my employer submitted an incorrect quarterly report. took about 10 days to fix but they did backpay me for the missed weeks

After spending WEEKS trying to get through to someone about my missing wages issue (that was totally their mistake btw), I finally used Claimyr to connect with a UC agent. It's this service that gets you through the phone system and puts you in the queue so you don't have to keep redialing. Took about 30 minutes instead of days of calling. You can see how it works here: https://youtu.be/CEPETxZdo9E?si=WL1ZzVZWG3KiHrg2 or just go to claimyr.com. Seriously saved my sanity and got my issue fixed in one call.

To address your specific question about "missing wages" - this is a standard issue type when there's a discrepancy between wages in your claim and what's on record. Here's what you should do: 1. Continue filing your weekly claims without fail 2. Gather documentation of your employment and separation (last paystubs, termination letter, etc) 3. Contact UC as soon as possible - they'll need to speak with you to resolve this 4. Check your PA UC dashboard for any notices requiring a response The system uses "missing wages" as a general category for several potential wage-related issues. Only a UC representative can tell you the exact nature of your specific issue.

when I saw missing wages last year it was because they were checking if I reported earnings correctly. but I hadn't worked either! turned out to be a mistake. they fixed it but took like 3 weeks and I had to call like crazy

One more thing to check - log into your UC account and go to the "View Claim History/Status" section. Sometimes there's additional information about the issue there that doesn't show up on the dashboard. Also check if you received any UC correspondence in your dashboard messages or by mail that might explain the specific issue.

btw make sure u answer YES to the question about being able and available for work when u do ur weekly claim even with this issue. some ppl get confused and answer wrong which makes more problems

After helping several clients with this issue, I can tell you that "missing wages" investigations are typically resolved in 1-3 weeks. Keep in mind: 1. The issue is often triggered by automated system checks, not something you did wrong 2. Once resolved, payments will resume and include any weeks that were held pending resolution 3. In about 70% of cases I've seen, the issue was resolved in the claimant's favor The key is getting through to a representative who can see the specific details of your case. Continue to certify each week while waiting for resolution.

I went through this exact same situation last month! The "missing wages" flag appeared out of nowhere even though I hadn't worked since my layoff. Turns out my former employer had submitted their quarterly wage report late, which triggered the system to flag my account for review. Here's what worked for me: I called first thing Monday morning at exactly 8:00 AM and got through after about 45 minutes on hold. The representative was able to see that it was just a timing issue with my employer's reporting and cleared it immediately. My payments resumed the next day and I got all the backpay. Don't panic - keep filing your weekly claims and gather any documentation you have from your layoff (termination letter, final paystub, etc.) to have ready when you do get through to someone. The vast majority of these cases get resolved quickly once you actually speak to a person who can look at your file.

I'm going through this exact same thing right now! Just logged into my PA UC account this morning and saw the dreaded "missing wages" active issue. Like you, I've been collecting without problems for several weeks and haven't worked at all since my layoff. My heart sank when I saw my payment status changed from "in progress" to "pending." Reading through all these responses is both reassuring and terrifying - it sounds like this could resolve quickly if it's just a system glitch or employer reporting issue, but the stories about 3+ week delays have me really worried. I'm in the same boat with rent coming up and was counting on this week's payment. I'm going to try the advice about calling right at 8 AM Monday morning. Has anyone had luck getting through at other times of day, or is early morning really the best bet? Also wondering if anyone knows whether these "missing wages" flags are more common at certain times of year when employers submit quarterly reports? Thanks for posting about this - at least now I know I'm not alone and there's hope for getting it resolved!

I'm dealing with this exact same issue right now too! Just saw the "missing wages" flag appear on my account yesterday and I'm really panicking. Reading through everyone's experiences here is helping me understand this better though. From what I'm gathering, this seems to be happening to a lot of people recently - maybe it really is related to quarterly reporting season like someone mentioned? It's somewhat comforting to know that most cases seem to get resolved in the claimant's favor, but the waiting period is what's really scary when you have bills due. I'm going to try the Monday 8 AM calling strategy that multiple people have recommended. Does anyone know if there's a specific extension or option to press when you call to get to someone who handles wage issues specifically, or do you just go through the general customer service line? Also keeping my fingers crossed that this gets resolved quickly for all of us going through this right now. Will definitely keep filing my weekly claims in the meantime like everyone suggested. Thanks to everyone who shared their experiences - it's helping me stay a bit more calm about this!

I'm going through the EXACT same thing right now! Just noticed the "missing wages" active issue on my account this morning and I'm completely stressed about it. Like you, I've been collecting for about 5 weeks without any problems and haven't worked a single day since my layoff. Reading through everyone's experiences here is actually giving me some hope though. It sounds like this might be related to quarterly reporting deadlines since so many people are experiencing this at the same time. The fact that most cases seem to get resolved in favor of the claimant is reassuring, even though the wait time is terrifying when you have bills coming up. I'm definitely going to try the Monday 8 AM calling strategy that several people have recommended. In the meantime, I'll keep filing my weekly claims and gather up all my termination paperwork to have ready. Thanks for posting about this - it's helping to know we're not alone in dealing with this issue! Hopefully we can all get through to someone quickly and get this resolved. Please keep us updated on what happens when you call!

I just wanted to add some perspective as someone who's been through multiple UC issues over the years - the "missing wages" flag is actually one of the more straightforward issues to resolve once you get through to someone. Unlike overpayment issues or work search problems, wage discrepancies are usually pretty clear-cut from the system's perspective. What's likely happening is that PA's system does automated cross-checks between your reported wages and employer quarterly filings, and when there's any timing mismatch or delay in employer reporting, it triggers this flag as a precaution. The good news is that once a human reviews it, they can usually see immediately if it's just a reporting timing issue versus an actual discrepancy. For those calling Monday morning - if you can't get through at 8 AM, try again around 10:30 AM. Sometimes there's a second wave of availability after the initial morning rush dies down. And definitely keep detailed notes of when you call and what you're told - it helps if you need to call back. Hang in there everyone - this really does seem to be affecting a lot of people right now, which suggests it's a system issue that will get sorted out relatively quickly once the backlog clears.
