PA UC claim stuck waiting for out-of-state wages from Delaware employer - help!

I had a similar situation last year with a New Jersey employer. PA UC is notoriously slow with interstate claims. What should happen is PA requests your wage info from Delaware through something called the Interstate Connection Network (ICON), but this can take 4-6 weeks sometimes. You can try calling the Interstate Claims office directly at 717-787-4268 rather than the main UC number - they sometimes answer faster and can specifically check on wage transfer status.

yupp same thing happened to me. took FOREVER. PA UC is the worst with out of state stuff cause they don't talk to each other that good. hope u got money saved cause might be 2 months before u see any $$$

Interstate claims are definitely challenging. Here's what you need to do: 1. Call both states' unemployment offices to confirm the wage transfer request is active 2. Ask PA UC for the specific date they requested your Delaware wages 3. Contact Delaware's UC office and ask them to expedite sending your wage data 4. Request a "combined wage claim" specifically if you worked in both states 5. Document all communication with both states (dates, names, confirmation numbers) Also, make sure you're still filing your weekly certification claims in PA even though you haven't been approved yet. You'll get back pay for all properly filed weeks once the interstate wage transfer is complete.

If calling both states' unemployment offices seems impossible, you might want to check out Claimyr. I was in a similar position with my NJ wages not showing up in my PA claim. I spent WEEKS trying to reach someone at PA UC with no luck. Then I found Claimyr (claimyr.com) - they got me connected to a PA UC agent within 30 minutes! The agent was able to initiate an expedited wage request while I was on the phone. They have a video demo that shows how it works: https://youtu.be/CEPETxZdo9E?si=WL1ZzVZWG3KiHrg2. It saved me weeks of waiting and stress.

THE INTERSTATE SYSTEM IS BROKEN!!!!! I waited EIGHT WEEKS for my wages from Ohio to show up in PA's system last year. Called every day, left messages, sent emails. NOTHING HELPED. Finally had to contact my state representative's office and magically two days later my claim was processed. THE WHOLE SYSTEM IS DESIGNED TO MAKE YOU GIVE UP!!!

i think u can also ask for a partial payment based on just ur PA wages while waiting for the delaware ones to come thru? not 100% sure but my cousin did something like that

UPDATE: I finally got through to someone at PA UC! The interstate claims rep said Delaware hadn't responded to their initial wage request from 3 weeks ago. They sent a second "urgent" request and told me to also contact Delaware UC myself. The rep said if Delaware doesn't respond within 10 days, PA can potentially process my claim using the pay stubs I uploaded as proof of wages. Keeping my fingers crossed something happens soon!

FINAL UPDATE: My claim was finally processed! It took exactly 5 weeks from start to finish. For anyone facing the same interstate wage problem: 1) Call the interstate claims office directly, 2) Contact your former state's UC office to make sure they send the wage data, 3) Upload all your pay stubs and W-2s to your PA dashboard as backup, 4) Don't give up! Thanks everyone for your help and advice through this stressful process.

So glad to see your final update! I'm currently dealing with a similar situation with my Maryland wages not transferring to PA and this gives me hope. Question - when you called the interstate claims office, did you have to wait long to get through? I've been trying the main PA UC number for weeks with no luck. Also, did Delaware UC give you any pushback when you contacted them directly about expediting the wage transfer?
