I'm sorry to hear about everything you've been going through - dealing with serious health issues and domestic violence while trying to navigate unemployment appeals is incredibly difficult. While I don't have direct experience with PA unemployment hearings, I wanted to offer some thoughts that might help. The fact that your employer didn't show up could actually work in your favor, as they won't be there to present their side of the case. The medical documentation you've submitted sounds comprehensive - x-rays, bloodwork, and medical records should help establish that your absences were due to legitimate health issues beyond your control. For unemployment purposes, "misconduct" typically requires willful or deliberate behavior. If you can demonstrate that your absences were directly caused by documented medical conditions, that's generally not considered misconduct. The domestic violence situation you mentioned could also be relevant, as many states recognize DV as a compelling reason for work-related issues. Have you considered reaching out to a local legal aid organization? They sometimes have attorneys who specialize in unemployment cases and could review your documentation. Also, if you haven't already, make sure you're prepared to clearly explain the connection between your medical conditions and your absences during any follow-up proceedings. Wishing you the best outcome - you've clearly put together a strong case with all that documentation.

I haven't personally received a Saturday deposit on my Money Network card, but from what I've seen in other posts here, it seems pretty rare. Most people get their deposits on weekdays, usually Tuesday through Thursday. The timing can depend on when you certify and if there are any holidays affecting processing. You might want to check your payment history in the UC dashboard to see if there's a pattern to your usual deposit days. Has your deposit been delayed this week, or are you just wondering about weekend processing in general?

I'm in a similar situation - filed my appeal in late April after getting denied for what seems like a misunderstanding on one of the questions. Still waiting to hear back on a hearing date. From what I've read in other posts here, it seems like the wait times have been pretty long lately, sometimes 2-3 months or more. Have you tried calling to check on the status of your appeal? Hoping we both get our dates soon!

I've been using Capital One 360 for my UC benefits for over a year without any issues. Have you double-checked that you're entering the correct routing number (031176110) and account number? Sometimes the system is picky about formatting - make sure there are no extra spaces or characters. Also, it can take a few business days for the direct deposit to actually kick in even after it's approved in the system. If you're still having trouble, you might want to call the UC service center to verify they have the right banking info on file.

Hi Alexandra! Memorial Day is a federal holiday, so you should still receive your full unemployment benefits for that week. In Pennsylvania, unemployment benefits are not deducted for federal holidays. You'll typically still certify for the week as normal and receive your regular benefit amount. The holiday shouldn't affect your payment at all. Hope this helps!
