I filed the end of December, I haven’t had any problems. Have you tried calling them to find out what’s going on? Are there any messages in your dashboard?

Dashboard says in Progress and calling just give me the busy line. It is not the end of the world. I did get a lump sum severance which I claimed, and they did DQ me the week I received the severance. It is just three weeks I was unemployed. My severance waas for 18 weeks, so maybe that is why I am unable to claim?

Unfortunately you need to call them. You have to keep calling and calling. I called the 1500 times in a two day period. I just kept hitting redial. Once you get through, put your phone on speaker and go do something, you have at least an hour wait once you are connected. I used to clean the house while I was on hold.

PA Career Link has one or two days per week or every two weeks, where an employee from the state unemployment office is physically in one of their offices. You can call the Career Link and find out what days and schedule an appointment or a call. I just had to do this exact thing a few months ago…14 weeks, no payment. I called and called, no answer, no call back. I emailed and emailed, no response. I mentioned I haven’t been paid while on a call with Career Link and they had me hooked up with a call with an unemployment rep and problem solved within a week (soonest a rep would be in their office, he took care of everything on the phone call).

How do you about reporting your job hunting activities?

There should be a form you can print out I believe it you may want to keep track yourself. Are you registered for that part? I don’t have to do the job search because I have a recall date, and that exempts you from the job search requirement

Yes. I have to track. I will search for that on the site. Thank you.

While they do have a form that you can use, you can use literally anything to keep track. I kept a Google Spreadsheet with the job and link to the posting, application date, and any interview dates.
