PA UC RESEA requirement confusion - 87% complete but in-person meeting still needed?

Yes, you should be fine until your scheduled meeting. The 87% completion means you've done all the pre-meeting requirements like registering with PA CareerLink and completing the assessment questionnaires. The in-person meeting is the final component that will get you to 100%. Make sure to bring your resume and work search records to the meeting - they WILL check these. After completing the meeting, your RESEA obligations will be fulfilled, but you'll still need to continue regular weekly claims and work search activities.

same boat right now lol. got my resea thing last week and my meeting is in 2 weeks. the website is terrible with explaining stuff

I got chosen for RESEA back in March. Don't stress about it too much! Just make sure you actually GO to the meeting. My neighbor missed hers and they stopped her benefits for like 6 weeks while she appealed. As long as you show up with whatever paperwork they told you to bring (I think it was just my ID and work search records), you'll be fine until then. The 87% just means you did the online part right.

I went through RESEA last month. Here's exactly what to expect: 1. Bring printed copies of your work search records - at least 6 job applications (3 weeks worth) 2. Have a current resume - they'll review it and suggest improvements 3. Be prepared to discuss your job search strategy 4. The meeting takes about 45-60 minutes 5. They'll mark you complete in the system immediately after The 87% is normal at your stage. And yes, once you complete the meeting, you're done with RESEA requirements (though regular UC work search continues). One tip: if you're having trouble getting through to someone at PA UC with questions (which is common), I found a service called Claimyr (claimyr.com) that connected me to an actual agent within minutes instead of dealing with busy signals. They have a video showing how it works: https://youtu.be/CEPETxZdo9E?si=WL1ZzVZWG3KiHrg2. It was helpful when I had questions about my RESEA requirements.

Am I the only one who thinks its RIDICULOUS that we have to do all this extra stuff just to get the benefits we EARNED?!? I got picked for RESEA last year and it was such a waste of time!!! The CareerLink people barely knew what they were doing and gave me a bunch of useless job leads that didn't even match my skills!!! Then they had the nerve to critique my resume that I paid a professional to write!!! 🤬🤬🤬

Has anyone done the RESEA meeting at the Downtown Pittsburgh CareerLink? Wondering if that location is better than the ones in the suburbs. I heard some locations are way more strict than others about the work search records.

Just to add some clarification about the 87% completion: - The remaining 13% is specifically the in-person meeting - Until your meeting date, your benefits will continue normally - At the meeting, they'll review your work search records (minimum 6 applications, 2 per week for 3 weeks) - They'll provide job search resources and review your resume - After completing the meeting, you'll immediately show as 100% compliant It's important to note that RESEA is a federal requirement that Pennsylvania must implement - it's not just PA UC creating extra hurdles. The program is designed to help claimants return to work faster and identify those who might need additional assistance. If you have specific questions before your meeting, make sure to have them written down to ask during your appointment.

anyone know what happens if u cant go to ur scheduled meeting? my boss just told me i have to work that day and cant take off
