Job search required on the 3rd week of the claim. As far as not completing afterwards for filed weeks, that would be up to the department if audited. (up to 2 years I believe)

Open up a backdated claim under regular UC so you can repay the PUA back.

You can file the claim online and request the backdate. Repayment would be handled much later, if found eligible under regular UC.

As another poster said, call the local CareerLink and set up an appointment. UC Staff are there with open arms. :) Let us know how it goes and good luck.

Reply to PA Unemployment is depressing and should be reworked by DigitalDash18

The system was reworked and here to stay. No way around it. Many people don't understand how Govt works, budgets, and how systems, paper, phone lines, etc are ordered by another agency. Even staffing. The volume and unique situations that need to be reviewed by a human must be nuts. And the fraud issues have impacted all States, not just PA.

Being in Construction, this is the busiest time of the year for UC as many, many tradespeople are filing. And if you think PA is bad, NJ/NY is 10x worse.
