PA UC payments on hold after missing RESEA class - need urgent help!

the same thing happened 2 me last month... call them asap and explain u missed it they might let u reschedule. my payments were on hold for 3 weeks tho even after i rescheduled so be ready 4 that

The UC system is DESIGNED to trip you up with these mandatory classes!!!! They know people miss them and then they can just stop paying you. I missed mine too and it took FOREVER to get it fixed. They're hoping you'll just give up and stop claiming. Classic PA bureaucracy at work.

You need to contact your RESEA coordinator immediately to reschedule. Each PA CareerLink handles these differently, but generally: 1. Call the CareerLink office where your RESEA was scheduled 2. Explain your situation and ask to reschedule 3. Request they notify UC that you've rescheduled 4. Continue filing your weekly claims while this is being resolved Once you complete the rescheduled RESEA workshop, they should release your held payments, though sometimes you'll need to contact UC directly to ensure this happens.

I went through this EXACT situation in January! Literally took me 8 days calling the PA UC line CONSTANTLY before I finally got through to someone. When I finally reached them, they scheduled me for the next available RESEA workshop (which was 2 weeks out), and told me I'd get all my backpay once I completed it. Thankfully, that's exactly what happened. If you're struggling to get through on the phone, I recommend trying Claimyr (claimyr.com). I found them after days of frustration - they help you get through to a UC agent without endless busy signals. There's a video showing how it works: https://youtu.be/CEPETxZdo9E?si=WL1ZzVZWG3KiHrg2 Seriously saved me so much stress when I was in your exact situation.

I work at PA CareerLink (not as UC staff, but adjacent). Some important info about RESEA that might help: 1. Missing a RESEA appointment automatically triggers a hold on benefits 2. You need to reschedule AND attend the new appointment before payments resume 3. The rescheduling needs to be documented in the system by CareerLink staff 4. You should receive back payments for weeks properly claimed during the hold period 5. There's usually a 24-48 hour processing time after completing RESEA before payments resume Contact your local CareerLink office directly rather than the UC service center if possible - they have more direct control over RESEA scheduling.

when i missed mine i just reapplied for the class on the website and printed the confirmation and then took it to the office and they fixed it that day maybe try that too

any update? did u get ur payments yet?? im curious cuz i might be in the same boat soon lol

My cousin werked at CareerLink for 3 years and she said they have a special form for missed RESEA that can speed things up but u gotta ask for it specifically bcuz they dont tell ppl about it

UPDATE: Just wanted to let everyone know my payments finally started again! Took exactly 9 days from completing the rescheduled RESEA workshop. They paid all the back weeks too. For anyone else who misses their RESEA appointment: 1) Reschedule immediately 2) Keep filing your weekly claims 3) Be prepared to wait 1-2 weeks after completing the workshop for payments to resume. Thanks everyone for your help!
