[Pennsylvania] Adding freelance work to existing claim

So in a nutshell: I've been struggling for over a year and only made around 15k last year. On my recent financial determination, I met 2 of the 3 criteria needed but the total altogether for the claim year wasn't enough. I was laid off, the employer confirmed, my highest quarter was fine, no problem qualifying otherwise. I looked it up and if I'd made just $164 more I would have met the financial eligibility.

So my question is:

I worked for a friend last year housesitting over Thanksgiving week and made around 300... BUT I got paid in cash. How would I go about adding that income, proving that it actually happened, or is that even advisable to add at all? I'm not working at the moment and UC would provide some cushion until I start a new job.
