PA UC weekly filing mistake - forgot to report one workday, need to fix?

dont add it to next week thats fraud!!! u need to report it for the correct week only. they check w/ employer records and will catch it eventually trust me

You absolutely need to report this correction to the correct week. Adding hours to a different week is misrepresentation and can result in an overpayment determination or worse. PA UC takes reporting accuracy very seriously. You have a few options: 1. Call the UC service center at 1-888-313-7284 2. Send a message through your dashboard about the error 3. When you file next week, there's sometimes a question about whether you need to report any changes to previous weeks Honestly though, calling is your best bet for something like this. They can help you make the correction properly and avoid potential issues later.

I'm going through something similar right now. I forgot to include some part-time hours in May, and now I'm dealing with an overpayment notice. Trust me, it's better to fix it now than wait for them to catch it later. They WILL eventually cross-reference with employer tax records.

I had EXACTLY this problem last year!! I tried calling for THREE WEEKS and couldn't get through - busy signals or disconnects every time. Finally found a service called Claimyr (claimyr.com) that got me connected to a PA UC rep in about 20 minutes. They have a video showing how it works: https://youtu.be/CEPETxZdo9E?si=WL1ZzVZWG3KiHrg2 Once I got through, the rep was actually super nice about it. She said it happens all the time and helped me file an adjustment. They recalculated my benefit for that week and I just had to pay back the difference. No penalties since I reported it myself before they caught it.

NEVER try to game the system!!! UC takes this stuff super serious and they will find out. My cousin tried to hide some work hours and ended up with a fraud case and had to pay back EVERYTHING plus penalties. NOT WORTH IT!!! Just call them and explain the mistake.

Just to clarify something important: making an honest mistake is different from intentional fraud. Since you're trying to correct this right away, they'll likely just adjust your benefit amount for that week without any penalties. Be prepared that you might need to repay some money if the additional hours would have reduced your weekly benefit amount.

wait do we have to report hours or just days worked??? i thought we just had to tell them which DAYS we worked not the actual hours???

I went through this exact situation about 6 months ago! I forgot to report 8 hours of work and panicked when I realized it. I ended up calling the UC office (took forever to get through) but the rep was really understanding since I was being proactive about fixing it. They adjusted my claim for that week and I had to pay back about $60 in overpayment, but no penalties since I reported it myself. The key is to NOT wait - the longer you wait, the worse it looks. Also, definitely don't try to "fix" it by adding hours to next week's claim - that will just make things worse. Good luck getting through on the phone!
