UPDATE: Just wanted to follow up since I saw your post. Has your payment come through yet? I know waiting for that first deposit can be stressful when bills are due.
did u ever get the money for those first 4 weeks? seems weird they say approved but u didnt get paid
this happened to my cousin and she got her new hearing date in like 10 days so maybe it wont be that bad good luck!
To update everyone on this thread - I just checked with a colleague who works with the appeals office, and there's currently a situation at the Reading office where they had a referee go on extended medical leave, causing them to redistribute cases to other offices. This is likely why your case is being moved to Wilkes-Barre. The good news is that they are prioritizing these transferred cases, so you might get a new date faster than normal. The bad news is that Wilkes-Barre is also handling their regular caseload plus these transfers, so there could still be some delay. Definitely follow the advice to call and emphasize your financial hardship situation. Also, ask specifically if they can offer you a phone hearing as those can sometimes be scheduled more quickly.
my sister in law told me they sometimes hold payments if u've been claiming for a while to make sure ur still eligible... how long have u been on unemployment?
Just wanted to update everyone that my payment from Monday's filing just hit my Money Network card this morning around 6:30am. So it was exactly one day later than my usual timeline. Thanks for all the helpful info!

Thank you all so much for the advice! I think I'm going to accept the tutoring position and just be extremely careful about reporting everything correctly in my weekly certifications. The extra $95/week will help while I wait for my claim to process, and it sounds like it shouldn't affect my eligibility as long as I'm transparent. I'll continue my full-time job search and keep documenting everything meticulously. Really appreciate everyone taking the time to share your experiences!

•Good luck! And dont worry too much - most issues happen when people try to hide income. Just be honest and you'll be fine.
