Great job being proactive about getting the documentation! One thing that really helped me when I went through a similar situation was keeping a detailed timeline of events. Write down exactly when you started the job, when your back problems began/worsened, any conversations you had with supervisors about your condition, and when you made the decision to quit. Having those specific dates and details ready for your fact-finding interview will show you're organized and credible. Also, if you have any text messages or emails related to your back pain or job struggles during those two weeks, screenshot them as additional evidence. The more documentation you can provide, the stronger your case will be.
This is excellent advice about keeping a timeline! I wish I had thought to document everything while it was happening, but I'll definitely write down what I can remember now. I do have a few text messages I sent to my brother complaining about my back pain during those two weeks at work - definitely going to screenshot those. Thanks for the tip about being specific with dates too, I'll make sure to have all that ready for the interview.
Just wanted to add that when you get your doctor's note, make sure it includes specific language about your inability to perform "heavy lifting," "repetitive bending," or whatever specific physical demands were required at the warehouse job. PA UC looks for clear connections between your medical limitations and the job requirements you couldn't meet. Also, if your doctor can reference your pre-existing back injury and how the warehouse work aggravated it, that strengthens your case that this wasn't a new condition you were trying to use as an excuse. I've seen cases where people got approved even without getting the doctor's note before quitting, as long as they could prove the medical condition existed and made the job impossible to continue. Stay positive and keep fighting for what you're entitled to!
I've been dealing with the same inconsistent timing for about 6 months now. What I've found is that the Tuesday deposits usually happen when there's been some kind of processing delay earlier in the week - could be system maintenance, high volume, or like others mentioned, holiday schedules. I started keeping a little spreadsheet tracking when I file my weekly cert vs when the deposit hits, and there does seem to be some correlation between filing really early Sunday morning (like before 8am) and getting those Tuesday evening deposits. Not 100% reliable but maybe worth trying if you want to increase your odds of getting paid a day early. The timing within the deposit day is still all over the place for me too - anywhere from midnight to 5am like you said. I think we're just at the mercy of whatever batch processing queue we end up in that week.
That's really smart to track it in a spreadsheet! I might start doing that too. The early Sunday filing theory is interesting - I usually wait until Sunday evening to file my certification, so maybe that's why I'm not seeing as many Tuesday deposits. I'll try filing first thing Sunday morning for the next few weeks and see if that makes a difference. It would be nice to get paid a day early more consistently, especially for weeks when I have bills due early in the week.
I've been on PA UC for about 2 months now and seeing all these responses makes me feel so much better! I thought something was wrong with my account because my deposits have been all over the place timing-wise. Mine typically comes Wednesday morning around 1-3am, but I've had it hit as early as Tuesday at 10pm and as late as Thursday morning (that was during a holiday week). The inconsistency was really stressing me out because I'm used to regular paychecks that always hit at the same time. I'm definitely going to try filing my weekly certification early Sunday morning like some of you suggested. And the text alert tip is genius - I've been obsessively checking the Money Network app multiple times a day which is not good for my anxiety. Thanks everyone for sharing your experiences. It's reassuring to know this is just how the system works and I'm not doing anything wrong!
You're definitely not doing anything wrong! I just started receiving PA UC benefits last month and had the exact same anxiety about the inconsistent timing. It's such a relief to read everyone's experiences here and realize this is just how the system operates. The unpredictability is tough when you're already dealing with financial stress from being unemployed. I'm also going to try the early Sunday filing strategy and set up those text alerts. It helps so much to know we're all in the same boat with this!
I'm dealing with almost the exact same situation right now! Filed for UC with two employers - one approved, one denied, and now I'm stuck with that dreaded "Results Issue Found" status. It's been 12 days so far and I'm losing my mind waiting. From what I've gathered reading through this thread and other forums, the key things seem to be: 1. Keep filing those weekly claims no matter what 2. Document EVERYTHING 3. Be patient (easier said than done!) Your Job B situation honestly sounds like a slam dunk case for eligibility - you gave proper notice and they cut it short in a hostile way. Those text messages are going to be your golden ticket. I'm bookmarking this thread to follow your updates. We're all in this mess together! Hoping we both get some good news soon 🤞
Thank you for sharing your experience! It's so comforting to know someone else is going through the exact same thing right now. 12 days feels like an eternity when you're waiting for answers, but it sounds like we're both still within that normal 19-25 day window that Zara mentioned earlier. I'm definitely keeping my fingers crossed for both of us! Have you tried calling the UC service center at all, or are you just waiting it out? I'm torn between being patient and trying to get more information about my case status.
I tried calling a few times in the first week but just got busy signals and gave up pretty quickly. After reading about CyberNinja's experience with that Claimyr service, I'm actually considering trying it if I don't hear anything by day 20. The waiting is killing me but I'm trying to stay within that normal timeframe before I panic. At least we know we're not alone in this! Are you getting any updates in your portal at all or is it just stuck on "Results Issue Found" like mine?
I'm so sorry you're going through this stress! I went through something very similar last year with multiple employers and that "Results Issue Found" status. The waiting is absolutely brutal when you're worried about rent. From my experience, you definitely want to keep filing your weekly claims while this is pending - that's super important for getting backpay once it's resolved. The system evaluates each employer separately, so even if Job B's denial stands, you should still be able to get benefits based on Job A's wages. Your Job B situation actually sounds pretty strong for eligibility - being told to leave immediately after giving proper notice is usually considered involuntary termination. Those text messages are going to be huge in your favor during the review process. I know everyone's timeline is different, but mine took about 3 weeks to resolve and I ended up getting approved for both employers. The examiner called me for a brief interview where I explained what happened, and having documentation made all the difference. Hang in there - most of these cases do work out when you have clear evidence like you do!
Final update: My claim was FINALLY approved yesterday, after almost 8 weeks total! I received all my backpay for the weeks I filed. For anyone else dealing with a federal employment claim - be prepared to wait longer than normal, make sure you get that federal wages form, and keep filing every week while you wait. Thanks again to everyone who helped!
Excellent! Glad to hear your claim was approved. This is helpful information for others in similar situations. Just to confirm - did they pay you for all 8 weeks at once as retroactive payment?
Yes, they paid all 8 weeks at once. It was such a relief to see that money hit my Money Network card after waiting so long! Now I just need to stay on top of the job search requirements.
Congrats on getting approved Emma! This thread is super helpful - I'm in week 4 of waiting on my federal claim (worked for VA hospital) and was starting to panic. Sounds like I need to call and ask about that federal wages form specifically. Did Claimyr actually work well for getting through? The regular UC phone line has been impossible for me too.
Yes, Claimyr worked really well for me! I was skeptical at first but it got me connected to an actual person within about 15-20 minutes instead of spending hours redialing. Definitely worth trying if you've been stuck on the phone lines. And yes, specifically ask about the federal wages form - that was the missing piece for me. At week 4 you're right in that timeframe where you should probably call to make sure nothing is missing from your claim. Good luck!

That's fantastic news Sofia! 8 days is pretty reasonable all things considered. I'm currently waiting on my appeal decision (should hear back any day now) and this gives me hope that if I win, I won't be waiting forever for the payments. Did you get any kind of notification before the money hit your card, or did it just show up? Also wondering if the back payments came as one lump sum or broken out by week?
