PA UC claim disappeared with 'no records found' message - can't file until January 2026!

same thing happnd 2 me in march, system glitched and my claim vanished!!! had a mini heart attack lol

This is a known issue with the PA UC system when you file late. The "no records found" message typically means one of two things: 1) Your claim is still being processed in the system and hasn't been fully registered yet, or 2) There was a system error during your filing process and the claim didn't actually complete properly despite getting a confirmation. The 1/15/2026 date is most likely referring to your benefit year end date, not when you can file. The system often displays this date incorrectly when there's a processing issue. You should immediately: 1. Take screenshots of everything you're seeing 2. Try to locate your confirmation number if you wrote it down 3. Contact PA UC directly - this isn't something that will resolve on its own

CALL EARLY!!! Like 7:55am right when they open. Thats the only time i ever get through. But honestly even then its like winning lottery. System is complete garbage since they "upgraded" it lol

I had success using Claimyr when my claim had a similar issue. It helped me connect with a PA UC agent after I'd been trying for days with no luck. Their system calls for you and holds your place in line, then calls you when an agent is available. Saved me tons of time and stress. The video demo shows how it works: https://youtu.be/CEPETxZdo9E?si=WL1ZzVZWG3KiHrg2 and you can find it at claimyr.com. Worth it for peace of mind when you're dealing with a time-sensitive issue like a disappearing claim.

I work for a non-profit that helps people with unemployment issues. The 1/15/2026 date you're seeing is likely your benefit year end date, which is typically set one year from when your claim begins. The "no records found" message combined with this date suggests your claim was partially processed but stalled in the system. This happens more often than PA UC admits, especially with claims filed outside the normal timeframe. The most important thing is to get documented proof that you attempted to file on May 19th. Even if you have to appeal later, having that confirmation number will be crucial evidence. Also, be aware that the late filing might result in a "non-fault overpayment" determination for that week, but you should still be eligible going forward. Make sure to keep filing your weekly claims even while this issue is being resolved!

@casual_user Yes, you should continue filing your weekly claims even if the initial claim shows issues. The system will hold those weekly certifications until the base claim is resolved. If you don't file weekly during this time, you may permanently lose eligibility for those weeks, even if your initial claim problem gets fixed later.

THE ENTIRE PA UC SYSTEM IS DESIGNED TO DENY PEOPLE BENEFITS!!!!! I had the EXACT same thing happen in February. Claim vanished, weird dates showing up, couldn't get anyone on the phone for WEEKS. Then they tried telling me I needed to pay BACK money from 2024 that THEY approved!!! It's all a scam to wear you down so you give up on your rightful benefits. Keep calling, document EVERYTHING, and don't take no for an answer!!

UPDATE: I used Claimyr this morning and actually got through to a person! The representative said my claim did go through but got flagged because of the late filing. She said the system automatically puts claims like mine into a review status, which is why I couldn't see it. She released the hold and said my claim should show up in my dashboard within 48 hours. I'll post another update when I see it. Thank you everyone for the help and advice during my panic mode!

glad u got help! wish id known about that service months ago lol. let us know if u actually get paid!
