PA UC examiner wait time after being added to priority list - anyone have experience?

yeah they told me that same thing bout being on a 'priority list' back in January lol took another 3 weeks before n examiner actually contacted me! dont hold ur breath

When I dealt with this last year, I was told I was on the 'priority list' and waited about 10 days before an examiner called me. The key is to make sure your contact information is 100% up-to-date in the system. Many people miss their calls because examiners often call from blocked or unknown numbers. Also, check your spam/junk folders daily for emails from PA UC. If you miss their call, it can add weeks to your wait time as they move on to other claims.

I WAS ON THAT SO-CALLED "PRIORITY LIST" FOR 5 WEEKS!!!! The system is completely broken! They just tell you that to get you off the phone! I had to contact my state representative's office to finally get someone to look at my claim. Don't believe anything they tell you about timeframes or "lists" - it's all garbage designed to keep us quiet while they ignore our claims!!!!

Have you tried using Claimyr to get through to an actual PA UC agent? I was stuck in a similar situation last month and couldn't get answers about my priority status. I used their service (claimyr.com) and got connected to a PA UC rep in about 20 minutes instead of spending hours redialing. They have a video that shows how it works: https://youtu.be/CEPETxZdo9E?si=WL1ZzVZWG3KiHrg2. The agent I spoke with was able to give me a more specific timeframe and actually escalated my case while I was on the phone. Worth trying instead of just waiting indefinitely.

in my experience those priority lists dont mean much tbh. my buddy got a call 2 days after being put on one but i waited almost 6 weeks and had to keep calling. think it just depends who u get and how backed up things are that month

The term "priority list" is somewhat misleading. What typically happens is your claim gets flagged for review by an examiner, but there are different priority levels within that system. Claims with simple issues might be resolved in 1-2 weeks, while more complex cases (especially those requiring employer input) can take 4-6 weeks or longer. A few tips that might help: 1. Continue filing your weekly certifications even while waiting 2. Check your dashboard and correspondence folder daily for updates 3. Make sure you've uploaded all requested documentation 4. If you reach the 8-week mark with no contact, consider reaching out to your state representative's office for assistance Also, note that some examiners are now working through the messaging system rather than calling, so keep an eye on your PA UC dashboard messages.

omg same boat! been waiting since February!!!! they told me priority list in March and still nothing. this system is a joke

Update: I took several of your suggestions and finally got some movement! I started answering all calls (even blocked numbers) and yesterday an examiner called me. They needed some additional information about my separation from my employer. The examiner said they should be able to make a determination within 5-7 business days. Thanks for all the advice - especially about the blocked numbers!
