One additional point that might help ease your mind: PA UC regulations (specifically Chapter 65.63) state that when a claimant has earned six times their weekly benefit rate at a new job following a voluntary quit, the voluntary quit is no longer disqualifying. Since you worked at the tech job for 7 months, you've almost certainly met this requirement, which means your resignation from the accounting position shouldn't affect your eligibility. Keep certifying for benefits weekly while waiting for the determination. If approved, you'll receive all back payments for properly certified weeks.

my cousin works for UC (not saying this to brag lol) and she says they have a HUGE backlog right now because they updated their computer system in March and it's causing all kinds of problems. so prob nothing to do with your specific situation just general incompetence

Just thought I'd update you - I called the PA Treasury (not UC) about my compromised card last time, and they were actually more helpful than UC. The number should be on the back of your Money Network card. They can sometimes tell you exactly what happened and expedite a replacement.

Just to give you some peace of mind while you work on this: when payments have nowhere to go because of a closed Money Network account, they typically get held in the system for up to 45 days. So your money won't be lost - it's just a matter of establishing a new payment method before you can access it. The fastest solution is usually to get through to a live person at UC who can update your payment preferences immediately.

For anyone still having issues, here's what I've learned from past payment delays: 1. PA UC typically processes claims in batches. If there's a delay with one batch, it affects everyone in that batch. 2. System maintenance often happens early in the month and can cause 1-3 day delays. 3. If your payment history shows "paid" but you haven't received funds after 3 business days, that's when you should definitely contact UC. 4. Always keep screenshots of your payment history page showing the payment was processed as evidence if there's a dispute. 5. Banking holidays can affect deposit timing (this week had none though). Glad to hear most people's payments are starting to come through now!

Mine came through too! Weird though, my roommate who also gets UC got his on the normal schedule Monday. Wonder why some people were affected and others weren't?

wait isnt this a PA unemployment forum? why r we talking abt evictions? shouldnt this be in a landlord-tenant group??

One more important point: If you do resolve this before court, get the landlord to sign a "Praecipe to Discontinue" form that officially withdraws the eviction case. Otherwise, the case might still show up in court records even if it was dismissed, which can harm your rental history. Also, check if your county has an Eviction Diversion Program. Philadelphia and several other PA counties have these programs that can help mediate between you and your landlord and sometimes provide emergency rental assistance. If you're continuing to receive UC benefits, you might qualify for additional housing assistance programs while you search for new employment.

Used Claimyr last week to get through to UC after trying for days on my own. Got connected in about 20 minutes. The agent found that my payment method kept switching because there was an employer protest on my account that wasn't visible to me in the portal. She fixed it and released my last 3 payments that had been stuck. Worth trying if you're desperate!

@casual_commenter It's actually legit - they don't access your UC account or anything. They just keep calling the PA UC number until they get through to a human, then call you and connect you. It's basically paying someone else to do the endless redialing we all hate.
