my experience with TD Bank and PA UC deposits is that they usually hit around 3am the day after they show as processed in the system. so if it says 7/21 payment date you'll prob see it 7/22 early morning. good luck!

UPDATE: The funds hit my account this morning at 2:37am! So for anyone searching this in the future - for TD Bank it took about 26 hours from when the portal showed 'partial check' to when the money actually appeared in my account. Such a relief after the long wait for approval. Thank you everyone for your help and information!

Good news - the fact that you never received any disciplinary actions before will work strongly in your favor. In PA, UC generally requires a pattern of misconduct or a very serious single incident to justify denial of benefits. Getting a shift covered with manager approval doesn't meet that standard. I recommend preparing a timeline document with: 1. Date you requested the shift coverage 2. Name of manager who approved it 3. Date of termination 4. Any relevant company policies 5. Names of witnesses Once you get through to a examiner, this will help them process your case faster.

Just wanted to add - while waiting for your claim to resolve, make sure you're still filing your weekly certifications every week. Even with the separation issue pending, you need to keep certifying to receive backpay once approved.

I was a seasonal worker for years and would file during our annual 2-week shutdown. Here's what I learned: - If u already have a PIN from before, use that same login - Answer YES when it asks if you're still employed but temporarily without work - Be prepared to upload or fax proof from employer about the closure - They might want a return-to-work date - You DO have to do the work searches unless you get an exemption Honestly for just 1 week it might not be worth the hassle but if you're tight on money it's your right to claim it!

After reading through this thread, I think speaking with a UC representative is your best bet. They can verify if your previous claim is still accessible, whether you'd need to serve a waiting week, and if you qualify for a work search exemption given your situation. For just one week, it might be cutting it close timing-wise, but it doesn't hurt to check.

Did you have to do a hearing for your appeal??? I had to do a PHONE HEARING and was so nervous I could barely speak!!!

Quick update for anyone reading this thread in the future: After an overturn decision, most direct deposits are hitting accounts within 2-3 business days in 2025. The PA UC system has improved somewhat compared to previous years. Just make sure your direct deposit information is correct in the portal, as this is the most common reason for delays after a successful appeal.

Sorry about your job! When you get your Money Network card make sure you activate it immediately and set up the mobile app. I missed my first payment because I didn't realize I needed to activate the card before they would load funds on it. Also don't throw away the envelope it comes in - there's an activation code you need inside.

One more important thing - since your unemployment is due to a disaster (the fire), make sure you upload any documentation your employer provides about the incident. This helps prevent delays with your claim. If your employer filed a "Notice of Disaster" with PA UC, your weekly requirements might be different than standard claims. And don't forget that PA UC benefits are taxable. You can elect to have 10% federal tax withheld from each payment by selecting that option in your payment preferences.
