Will PA UC wage appeal stop my current $315 benefits after 5-month wait for approval?

Filing a wage appeal won't stop your current payments. I went through this last year when my employer didn't report one of my W2 jobs correctly. You'll continue getting the $315/week while they review your appeal. Just make sure you keep filing your weekly claims like normal. When you submit the wage protest, include all your paystubs that prove the missing wages. They'll recalculate your benefit amount, and if approved, they'll pay you the difference retroactively for any weeks you were underpaid. The review process took about 3-4 weeks for me, but it didn't interrupt my existing payments.

not true my benefits stopped for 6 weeks when i appealed last oct!!! system is broken depends who handles ur case some ppl get lucky some dont

I've been through 3 different PA UC claims and learned it all the hard way. Here's what you need to do: 1. File a "Wage Protest" NOT an "Appeal" - different forms with different consequences 2. Use form UC-1921W specifically for missing wages 3. Include COPIES (not originals) of all paystubs from the missing quarters 4. Submit a detailed letter explaining which quarters are missing 5. Continue filing weekly claims no matter what The $315 is definitely wrong if you were making $1500/week. Your weekly benefit should be closer to $600-640 (the max in PA), plus you'd qualify for the higher dependent allowance if you have kids. I recommend trying to get through to a UC representative to have them confirm filing a wage protest won't stop payments. But don't wait too long - you only have limited time to protest wage calculations.

Been dealing with PA UC for years on and off. Getting through to them on the phone is impossible these days. I spent 3 weeks trying to call about missing wages too. Just kept getting busy signals or disconnected.

I had a similar situation last year where my base period was missing an entire quarter of wages (about $12,000 worth). I filed the wage protest and kept receiving my original benefit amount while they reviewed everything. When they approved it about 5 weeks later, they increased my weekly benefit AND paid me the difference for all the weeks I'd already claimed at the lower amount. Make sure you have documentation for EVERYTHING. I included: - All paystubs - W2 forms - Letter from my employer confirming dates and wages - Copy of my work schedule showing regular hours Be super thorough with your evidence and it should go smoothly without interrupting your current payments.

UPDATE: I was able to get through to a UC rep using that Claimyr service someone recommended. The agent confirmed that filing a wage protest using form UC-1921W will NOT stop my current benefits while they review my missing wages. She also said I should expect it to take 4-6 weeks for processing. I'm gathering all my paystubs now and will submit everything tomorrow. Thank you everyone for your help! What a relief to know I won't lose my current payments while waiting for the correction.
