I'm also new to PA UC and have been following this thread closely! I have US Bank and was curious if anyone has experience with their timing for UC payments? My status just changed to "paid" yesterday evening and I'm hoping to see the deposit today. Reading through everyone's experiences with different banks has been so educational - it's amazing how much the timing varies! PNC seems pretty consistent at 1-3pm, Chase around 10:30am, Wells Fargo later around 3:30-5pm. I'm planning to call US Bank today to ask about their ACH processing schedule like several people suggested. The anxiety is definitely real when you're depending on that money, but it's so reassuring to see how reliable the "paid" status has been for everyone once it shows up in the system. Thanks to everyone for sharing such detailed experiences - this thread should be bookmarked for anyone new to PA UC!

I have US Bank and can share my experience! My PA UC payments typically hit around 11:45am-12:30pm on Tuesdays, so a bit earlier than PNC but later than Chase. US Bank seems to process government deposits in their late morning batch. Since your status changed to "paid" yesterday evening, you should definitely see it today - probably in the next hour or so based on my timing pattern. US Bank is pretty consistent once you learn their schedule. One thing I've noticed is that US Bank sometimes shows pending ACH deposits in their mobile app under "Pending Transactions" a few hours before posting, similar to what others mentioned about PNC. Definitely call them to confirm their exact processing times, but you should be good to go today! The first payment is always the most nerve-wracking but it gets easier once you know what to expect.

UPDATE: Payment hit my card this morning (Thursday)! Thanks everyone for the help. I'm definitely going to switch to direct deposit to my bank account instead of using this card from now on.

Glad you got your payment sorted out! For anyone else dealing with this, I've found that setting up text alerts through your bank can really help with timing. Most banks will send you a notification as soon as a deposit hits, so you don't have to keep checking your balance obsessively. Also, if you're switching to direct deposit like Oliver mentioned, make sure to do it well before your next claim period - sometimes it takes a pay cycle or two to fully switch over from the Money Network card.

I've been dealing with PA UC for about 8 months now and can add that if you're ever worried about timing, you can also check the Money Network app/website directly - it usually shows pending deposits before they actually post to your balance. That way you know it's in the pipeline even if it hasn't hit yet. Also worth noting that if you switch from the Money Network card to direct deposit to your own bank, the timing might change depending on your bank's processing schedule. Glad everything worked out for you OP!

Just want to add that timing can also vary if there are any state holidays or federal banking holidays. I learned this the hard way when my payment date fell on Presidents Day weekend - took an extra day because banks were closed. PA UC still processes on their end but the card company follows banking schedules. Always good to check if there are any upcoming holidays that might affect your deposit timing!

This exact thing happened to me last month! I was so confused when I got the Money Network card while my claim was still showing "under review." Like others have said, it's completely normal - PA UC just sends them out automatically to everyone who files, regardless of claim status. I ended up activating mine right away just to have it ready, which was good because once my claim finally got approved (took about 6 weeks total), the payment hit the card within 2 days. The key thing I learned from this community is to absolutely keep doing your weekly certifications and work searches even while waiting - that's crucial or you'll lose those weeks of benefits even if approved later. For your "eligibility issue," I'd definitely recommend trying to get through to an actual person at PA UC to find out what's needed. The regular phone lines are basically impossible, but several people here have had success with that Claimyr service. It's worth looking into since these open issues can drag on for months without resolution. Good luck with your claim!

This is really helpful to read through everyone's experiences! I'm actually in week 4 of waiting myself with an "under review" status and got my Money Network card about a week ago. I was initially panicked thinking something went wrong with my application, but it sounds like this is just their standard process. The advice about continuing weekly certifications is crucial - I almost stopped doing them thinking there was no point since I wasn't approved yet. That could have been a disaster! I've also been doing my work search requirements just to be safe. I'm definitely going to try the Claimyr service that several people mentioned. The regular PA UC phone lines are absolutely impossible - I've called probably 50+ times over the past two weeks and either get busy signals or get disconnected after hours on hold. It's incredibly frustrating when you just need to know what the holdup is with your claim. Thanks to everyone who shared their timelines and experiences. It helps to know we're not alone in dealing with this broken system, and that there might actually be light at the end of the tunnel eventually!

@Jade Lopez This is such fantastic news! Your persistence really paid off and this gives me so much hope for my own situation. I've been stuck in review for about 3 weeks now and was starting to panic about how long it might take. Reading that yours was resolved once you got through to an actual person who could see the real issue is exactly what I needed to hear. The fact that it was just a wage discrepancy that took 6+ weeks to identify is frustrating, but at least you're finally getting all your benefits including the backpay. Your story is proof that we shouldn't just sit around waiting for these things to magically fix themselves. I'm definitely going to start calling more persistently after seeing your success. Thanks for keeping everyone updated throughout this whole process - it's been really helpful to follow along and see that there is light at the end of the tunnel!

@Jade Lopez This is absolutely incredible news! I've been following your story from the beginning and I'm so relieved you finally got this resolved. It's honestly criminal that a simple wage discrepancy kept you waiting for 6+ weeks with zero communication from PA UC. But your persistence really shows everyone here that these claims CAN be fixed - you just have to keep fighting until you reach someone who actually knows what they're doing. I'm currently on week 2 of my own review process and was starting to worry, but your success story gives me hope that it's worth staying on top of them. Congratulations on getting your backpay - you absolutely earned every penny of it after what you went through! Thanks for sharing your journey with all of us.
