PA UC weekly claim says 'no claim until 7/14/24' - Did I lose last week's benefits?

Yes, this is what happens when you miss filing for a week. PA UC is strict about weekly filing deadlines. If you miss a week, the system won't let you backdate it online. You'll need to call the UC service center to request a backdated claim for the week you missed. They might approve it if you had a good reason (like your family emergency).

omg the exact same thing happnd to me last month!!! so frustrating!!

The "no claim till 7/14/24" message just means you can't file another regular weekly claim until next Sunday (7/14). It doesn't necessarily mean you permanently lost last week's benefits. You just need to speak with someone at UC to explain your situation and request a backdated claim for the missed week. They can manually process it for you. Do you remember exactly what date you missed filing?

U CANNOT file a missed claim online after the deadline - THATS WHY ur getting that message!!! PA UC has the WORST system ever. they make it nearly IMPOSSIBLE to get missed payments!!! good luck getting thru on the phone, I spent 3 DAYS trying

After struggling with this same issue myself, I finally found a service called Claimyr that got me through to a PA UC agent in about 20 minutes when I'd spent days getting busy signals. You can check it out at claimyr.com - they have a video showing how it works: https://youtu.be/CEPETxZdo9E?si=WL1ZzVZWG3KiHrg2 For backdated claims, you definitely need to speak with an actual agent who can override the system. They'll ask about your reason for missing the filing deadline (your family emergency sounds like a valid reason), and they can process the missed week manually if approved.

To add some important technical details here: What you're experiencing is related to the "waiting week" rule getting triggered. When you miss filing for one week, the system treats it as a break in your claim sequence. Here's what you need to know: 1. You can request a backdated claim by calling the UC service center 2. You'll need to provide a valid reason for missing the filing deadline 3. If approved, they will process the payment for your missed week 4. The message about 7/14 means your next regular claim period starts then 5. This won't affect your total benefit amount, just the timing The fastest way to resolve this is definitely speaking with an agent directly. Just be prepared to explain your family emergency in specific terms.

@confused_user It means you don't necessarily lose the benefits permanently. If the UC representative approves your backdated claim request, you'll still get paid for that missed week. You just can't file for it online yourself after the deadline has passed. It requires manual intervention from a UC agent. @OP - When you do get through to someone, be sure to have your claim information ready and a clear explanation of your family emergency. Being prepared makes the process go much smoother.

Happened to me once too. Had to call the UC office like 50 times before getting through but they did fix it for me eventually. They ask a bunch of questions about why you missed filing, just be honest. My advice is to call right when they open in the morning, that's when I finally got through.

Yep, 8am Eastern. And it took about 3 business days for the payment to actually hit my account after they approved it. Just make sure you're super clear about which specific week you missed.

I used that Claimyr service someone mentioned above when I had a similar issue last month. It worked surprisingly well - had me connected in about 15 minutes when I'd been trying for days on my own. Cost a bit but was worth it to me to get my backdated claim processed. The UC rep was able to fix everything in one call. Just make sure when you do talk to someone that you clearly explain it was a one-time emergency situation. They're generally pretty reasonable about approving backdated claims when you have a legitimate reason.
