Where to send PA UC overpayment waiver request? Need mailing address ASAP

The correct address to mail your overpayment waiver is: PA Department of Labor & Industry Office of UC Benefits Overpayment Unit 651 Boas Street, Room 603 Harrisburg, PA 17121 Make sure you include any supporting documentation showing financial hardship. Also keep a copy of everything you send and send it certified mail so you have proof of when it was delivered. The waiver review process can take 4-6 weeks, but sending it to this address ensures it gets to the right department.

i sent mine to that harrisburg address last year but make sure u call them too!!! they dont always process mail fast enough and the deadlines are STRICT

I've helped several clients with this exact situation. The Harrisburg address already mentioned is correct, but there are a few critical things you should know: 1. Include a cover letter clearly stating this is an overpayment waiver request 2. Number each page of documentation you're including 3. Keep the original overpayment notice number visible on all correspondence 4. Request a receipt confirmation in writing Also, while your waiver is pending review, they technically shouldn't proceed with collection actions, but sometimes wires get crossed. If you notice any collection attempts during the review period, contact them immediately citing your waiver submission date.

If ur having trouble getting thru on phone try Claimyr. It got me connected to a live person at PA UC in about 10 mins when I was dealing with my overpayment issue last month. Saved me hours of calling. They have a video demo at https://youtu.be/CEPETxZdo9E?si=WL1ZzVZWG3KiHrg2 that shows how it works. Definitely worth it when ur dealing with time-sensitive stuff like this.

DONT BELIEVE ANYONE WHO SAYS THE PROCESS WORKS SMOOTHLY!! I sent my waiver to that address TWICE and they claimed they never received it!!! Had to drive to the office in person with copies to prove I sent it. The whole system is DESIGNED to make you fail deadlines so they can collect. DOCUMENT EVERYTHING and don't trust them to do their job!!

When I got my overpayment notice back in January, I was completely confused too! I ended up faxing my waiver request to (717) 772-1621 in addition to mailing it. The fax gave me immediate confirmation it was received, which helped my anxiety a lot. The address others provided is correct, but having that fax confirmation was my safety net.

did u check ur dashboard on the UC website? sometimes they want u to upload stuff there instead of mailing it

good luck getting a waiver my brother tried for months and they denied him even tho it wasnt his fault they made the mistake now hes stuck paying back 6000 dollars

Just to follow up on this thread - it's also worth noting that as of 2025, PA UC has updated some of their processes. You can also email a copy of your waiver request to UCOverpayments@pa.gov as a backup to your mailed submission. In the subject line, include your name and the last 4 digits of your Social Security Number. This gives you yet another record of submission.
