i think its because of the job search requirements. They doing extra checks cuz so many people not doing their work searches right. My buddy got audited last week and they made him prove all his job contacts. Make sure yall keeping records!!!!
oh crap i havent been saving my job search stuff. just putting in the system. are we supposed to keep copies??
**UPDATE: PA UC has now posted on their official Twitter that there was a processing delay affecting claims filed 5/10-5/12. All claims are being processed and payments should appear in accounts on their regular schedule or with a 1-day delay at most. They apologize for the confusion and recommend not calling about this specific issue as it's being resolved system-wide.**
Just so you know, if your payment doesn't appear by the end of business today, you should check your PA UC dashboard to make sure there wasn't an issue with your weekly certification or an open issue on your claim. Sometimes payments get held up if there's a problem with the claim itself rather than just a processing delay.
Just checked my dashboard and it says payment date was yesterday with status 'processed' - I guess that means it's just delayed in getting to my card? Will keep waiting but might try that Claimyr service if it doesn't show up by afternoon.
This happened to me twice in January. Both times I was panicking, but the money showed up around 10am-11am. The UC rep I eventually spoke with explained that there are different processing batches that run throughout the day. First batch usually hits overnight, but if you miss that cutoff, you might be in the mid-morning or afternoon batch. Whatever you do, don't pay for that boost feature! It's just Money Network trying to collect fees for something that will happen anyway.
Thanks everyone for the help! Just wanted to update - my payment FINALLY showed up at 11:32am. Such a relief! Definitely wasn't worth paying for that boost thing.
my cousin got 1 of these last month and ignored it cuz he thought it was a scam lol now hes in big trouble with collections. dont ignore it!!!
This is an important warning. PA UC overpayment notices should never be ignored, even if you believe they're in error. If you miss the appeal deadline, Pennsylvania can and will: ⢠Garnish your wages (up to 25%) ⢠Intercept your state tax refunds ⢠Place liens against your property ⢠Add significant interest and penalties to the original amount ⢠Report the debt to credit bureaus In some cases, they can even pursue criminal charges for unemployment fraud if they believe the overpayment was intentional, though this is rare for system errors like these 2021 notices appear to be.
Just wanted to update everyone. I had my appeal hearing yesterday for my similar overpayment notice. The examiner immediately saw the error when I showed my employment records. She said their system flagged a bunch of 2021 claims incorrectly during a recent audit. My case was dismissed on the spot! For anyone else dealing with this, definitely appeal and bring documentation of your employment during those weeks they claim you were paid.
That's such a relief to hear! I have my appeal phone interview scheduled for next Tuesday. I've gathered all my documentation showing I started work in August 2021 and never claimed benefits after that. This gives me hope it'll be resolved quickly. Thanks for updating us!
I had a somewhat similar situation happen with my claim back in February. I ended up using the message center in my dashboard instead of calling. I sent a detailed message explaining exactly what happened and asking them to fix the issue. Surprisingly, they responded within 2 days and fixed it! My payment was processed the next day. Worth a try if you can't get through on the phone.
I'll try the message center right now! Did you use any specific wording that seemed to help get a faster response?
I made sure to put "URGENT PAYMENT ISSUE" in the subject line, and then I was very specific about what happened and included my last 4 SSN digits and claim confirmation number in the message. I think being super clear about the problem helped.
UPDATE: I finally got through to someone! I tried that Claimyr service that someone suggested above and it actually worked. Got connected to a PA UC rep in about 30 minutes. They explained that I accidentally started a Break in Claim when the ID verification popped up. The rep was able to fix it and release my payment! It should be on my Money Network card by tomorrow. Thank you all for the help and suggestions!
That's great news! Glad you got it sorted out. For future reference, whenever you see anything unusual during your weekly certification, it's best to slow down and read everything carefully. The system doesn't always make it clear what you're actually doing.
sweet!! good to hear u got ur money

Thanks for the update. This is exactly the kind of clerical error I suspected. Make sure you use these two weeks to thoroughly prepare for your hearing. Review all your documents, practice explaining your case clearly and concisely, and be ready to address any points your employer might raise. Good luck with your hearing!
