Filing Weekly Certifications by TTY

You may file your weekly certifications using TTY service 24 hours a day, 6 days a week (Sunday through Friday). First, you must obtain the TTY weekly filing instructions and eligibility questions. The required forms can be downloaded (see below), or obtained by contacting the UC service center or local PA CareerLink® office. After you obtain the weekly questions, it is recommended that you review the questions ahead of time and record the answers on paper before transmitting answers through TTY. By preparing the answers in advance, there will be an increase in accuracy and fewer mistakes that could delay benefit payment. Also, the time making the TTY call will be substantially reduced.

After you have prepared your answers, connect to the UC service center through TTY (888) 334-4046. Once the UC office greeting has been completed, you must type the number of the question and its answer. There is no need to type in the question itself. Continue until all questions have been answered, then disconnect the call. You will be contacted through relay service if we need additional information or have questions about your responses.

Please download and review both of these forms:
