PA UC online appeal submission error code - can't get past 'error 404'

I had the EXACT same problem last week!!! So frustrating!!! The PA UC website is seriously the WORST. I ended up having to mail in a paper appeal form because their system is broken. You can download and print the appeal form from the website (if that part is even working lol). Make sure you send it certified mail so you have proof you submitted before the deadline!!! The address is on the form.

The 404 error usually means the page doesn't exist or you're using an outdated link. Here's what you should do: 1. Make sure you're accessing the appeal form directly from your dashboard after logging in, not from a bookmarked link 2. If that doesn't work, you can fax your appeal to 717-772-1722 3. You can also mail your appeal to: PA UC Appeals, 651 Boas Street, Room 1116, Harrisburg, PA 17121 4. Include your full name, last 4 of SSN, and determination date on any correspondence Most importantly, keep documentation showing you submitted before the 15-day deadline. The postmark date counts for mail submissions.

You should definitely use the official appeal form if possible. If you don't have a printer, you can go to your local PA CareerLink office - they can provide the form and help you submit the appeal. They might even be able to help you file electronically right there. Bring your determination letter and any evidence that supports your case that you weren't fired for misconduct.

the unemployment office is such a joke, they deny everyone hoping you wont appeal because they know most people give up from frustration. i got denied 3 times before i finally got approved last year

I couldn't get through to anyone at UC for weeks when I had an issue with my appeal. I finally used a service called Claimyr (claimyr.com) that got me connected to a PA UC agent within about 20 minutes instead of spending days redialing. They have a video showing how it works: https://youtu.be/CEPETxZdo9E?si=WL1ZzVZWG3KiHrg2 The agent was able to tell me exactly what was going on with my appeal and fixed the issue right away. Might be worth checking out if you're still having problems with the website.

Just wanted to follow up - if you do mail or fax your appeal, you should include: 1. Your full name 2. The last 4 digits of your SSN 3. Your address and phone number 4. The date of the determination letter you're appealing 5. The reason you disagree with the determination 6. Any evidence that supports your position Also, keep calling the appeals office at 717-787-5122 while you're waiting. Sometimes they can process an appeal over the phone.
