PA UC new benefit year issue: 'No employment history' after BYE date - how to fix?

same thing happend to me last month!!! when ur BYE hits they need new employment info even if u already gave it to them. the system is seriously broken. mine said no employment history for like 3 weeks then magically fixed itself without me doing anything. some ppl say u gotta call but good luck with that lol

This is a common issue with new benefit years. When your BYE date arrives, PA UC requires that you've worked and earned enough during your base period to qualify for a new claim. The 'no employment history' flag appears when the system is still processing your employment verification documents or if there's a discrepancy in your reported wages. You should: 1. Continue filing your weekly certifications 2. Check if there are any action items in your dashboard 3. Make sure your employer reported your wages correctly to the state 4. If it's been more than 10 business days, you need to contact PA UC directly Having your W-2 uploaded is good, but sometimes they need additional verification, especially if your employer's quarterly wage reports don't match exactly.

I think everyone here is missing the MAIN issue! The system rarely automatically resolves the "no employment history" problem when it comes up after a BYE date!! They SAY they'll review it but in my experience you NEED to talk to an actual person or you'll be waiting FOREVER!!! I was in the same situation in January and waited 6 WEEKS with no movement until I finally got through to a rep who fixed it in 5 minutes!!!

I dealt with this exact issue earlier this year. The "no employment history" after hitting your BYE date is unfortunately very common, and here's what you need to know: 1. This issue almost always requires speaking with a representative to resolve 2. While waiting, DEFINITELY continue filing your weekly claims 3. Once resolved, you'll receive all back payments you're eligible for 4. The rep will need to manually verify your employment history I recommend trying Claimyr (claimyr.com) to get through to PA UC. They helped me get through to a representative when I couldn't get past the busy signals for weeks. They have a video showing how it works: https://youtu.be/CEPETxZdo9E?si=WL1ZzVZWG3KiHrg2 The representative should be able to see your uploaded W-2, but sometimes the system doesn't properly connect these documents to your new claim after the BYE date.

has anyone checked if ther is a time limit to resolve this after BYE date?? i'm having the opposite problem where they DID resolve my employment history issue but then a NEW problem came up. the whole system is rigged to delay payments if u ask me.

UPDATE: I managed to get through to PA UC this morning after trying that Claimyr service! The rep confirmed my employment history was actually there in the system but wasn't properly linked to my new claim. She fixed it on the spot and said my payments should process within 2-3 business days. She also confirmed I should keep filing weekly claims while waiting. Such a relief! Thanks everyone for your help!
