Quick update I forgot to mention - when I used that service the first commenter mentioned (Claimyr) the UC rep told me they dont even look at claims with issues until they've been sitting for at least 3-4 weeks. So if your only a month in they probly havent even assigned it to anyone yet. So frustrating!!!

I'm dealing with almost the exact same situation right now! Filed my claim 3 weeks ago after getting laid off when my company "restructured" (aka fired half the staff), but my claim is stuck because I left a job about a year ago to take this position. It's so frustrating that they penalize you for making good career moves in the past when your current layoff has nothing to do with that old job. I've been checking my dashboard daily but no movement yet. Reading everyone's experiences here is both reassuring and terrifying - at least I know I'm not alone but the wait times sound brutal. Definitely going to look into contacting my state rep based on the suggestions here!

My sister had this same issue but her payment never came through and she found out she had an "open issue" on her claim. Make sure you check that section of your dashboard too just to be safe.

I'm glad to see this thread because I was starting to panic too! I've been on UC for about 5 months now and this is the first time I've experienced a holiday delay. Usually everything runs like clockwork. It's good to know that federal holidays can throw off the timing - I'll definitely keep that in mind for future holidays like Presidents Day that Javier mentioned. The waiting is always nerve-wracking when you're depending on these payments for essentials.

update: its working for me now! just checked and the login button works. maybe they fixed whatever was broken

Just wanted to add another tip for anyone still having issues - if you're using any ad blockers or security extensions like uBlock Origin or NoScript, try temporarily disabling them. The Money Network site uses a lot of third-party scripts and sometimes these extensions block the login functionality. I had this exact same problem last month and it turned out my privacy extension was blocking the authentication popup. Also, make sure you're going directly to www.moneynetwork.com and not clicking any links from emails or other sites, as those sometimes redirect to cached or broken pages.

Just wanted to add my experience - I'm a newer claimant (started UC in December) and this was my first time dealing with a delay like this. The "not observed holiday" message really threw me off because I had no idea what it meant! Really appreciate everyone sharing their experiences and explanations here. It's reassuring to know this is somewhat normal and not a sign that something went wrong with my claim. Definitely going to bookmark this thread for future reference if it happens again!

I'm dealing with the same issue! My payment was supposed to hit yesterday but still nothing on my card. The portal shows "Payment issued" with a transaction number, so at least I know it's processing. After reading through everyone's experiences here, it sounds like this is just another one of those PA UC system hiccups that happens periodically. Really stressful when you're counting on that money though! Going to keep checking my card throughout the day and hopefully it shows up soon like it did for Lucas and Aria.

So glad your check finally arrived! 8 days is pretty typical from what I've seen here. The Money Network card is definitely the way to go - I switched to it after my second paper check nightmare and haven't looked back. Just a heads up, it takes about 7-10 business days to receive the card once you request it, but after that payments usually show up within 1-2 business days of filing. Way better than this paper check lottery system!

Ugh, this whole paper check situation is such a nightmare! I've been dealing with the same thing - my credit union (PNC) wasn't "compatible" with their system either, which makes zero sense. I've been waiting almost 2 weeks for my check and called Treasury yesterday. They said it was mailed last Friday but who knows if that's actually true given everyone's experiences here. The most frustrating part is having zero visibility into what's actually happening. Like, is my check sitting in some processing center? Lost in the mail? It's 2024 and we're still doing paper checks like it's 1995! Definitely requesting the Money Network card after reading all these comments. Seems like that's the only reliable option at this point. Hope your check shows up soon Omar - the electric company doesn't care about PA's archaic payment system!
