@commenter7 - Yes, Claimyr worked great for me! I was able to talk to an actual UC agent within about 25 minutes instead of calling for days and getting busy signals. It was worth it just to get my questions answered before my hearing. They just connect you directly to the PA UC phone queue without you having to redial a million times.
my bank always shows pending deposits like a day before they actually hit my account. maybe check if u have any pending transactions?
I had a somewhat similar situation where I was receiving WC benefits and tried to claim UC from a previous employer. Be extremely careful here - there are specific rules about what you need to report. If your WC is for total disability, then PA UC will likely deny benefits because you're not able to work. You mentioned you got hurt at your first job - are you still technically employed there but just collecting WC? If so, you'll need to explain that you're collecting WC from an employer you still work for (but are on leave from), while claiming UC from a different employer you no longer work for. I strongly recommend getting a formal determination from UC rather than guessing. Be 100% honest about your WC status when you apply. In my case, I was initially denied but was able to appeal and eventually received benefits.
Good question. If you're on partial disability through Workers' Comp and are medically cleared for specific types of work, you can limit your work search to jobs within your medical restrictions. You'd still need to complete and document your work search activities each week (applying to jobs, attending interviews, etc.) but only for positions you're physically capable of performing. The PA UC system allows for this type of limitation as long as it's medically documented.
To summarize the correct information: 1. The payment date shown in your portal (5/22) is when the payment is processed by PA UC 2. For Money Network cards, funds typically appear 1 business day after the payment date 3. Most users report seeing deposits in the morning hours 4. You can track deposits by using the Money Network mobile app 5. If your payment doesn't appear within 2 business days of the payment date, you should contact PA UC Hope this helps clarify things!

Update on my previous comment - if your claim shows as approved but payments aren't processing, it could be what's called a "secondary review flag." These aren't visible to claimants in the portal but require a supervisor to manually release. Two specific things to try: 1. Ask specifically if there's a "payment authorization hold" or "secondary review flag" on your account when you call 2. Request an "escalation for hardship" due to potential eviction - this can move you up in the supervisor callback queue Also, continue filing your weekly claims WITHOUT FAIL during this waiting period. Missing even one week can create additional delays.

•Thank you!! I'll specifically ask about those flags next time I call. And I've been religious about filing every single week even though it feels pointless. I'll definitely mention the hardship escalation too since I really am facing eviction.

Just an update - I contacted both my state rep AND used Claimyr to get through to an agent. The combination worked - got my backpay last week. OP, don't give up - just keep pushing from multiple angles. The system is designed to be difficult but not impossible.

•I'm definitely going to try both approaches. At this point I have nothing to lose. Thanks for sharing what worked for you!
