Just to give you an update: I checked the PA UC processing schedule and if your payment date is 3/1, that means the file was sent to Money Network today (2/29). Money Network typically processes their files overnight, so there's a small chance you could see it tomorrow afternoon, but Monday is more realistic due to their internal processing times.
def agree with everyone saying JUST APPLY!! let them tell u no instead of assuming. and when you call make sure to ask specifically about any special programs for self-employed ppl. sometimes the first person u talk to doesnt know everything
Tell ur friend to look into CareerLink services too if he's in PA. When I got denied UC they referred me there and I got help with job training and resume stuff. Not cash benefits but at least something.
make sure you check your payment method on your dashboard! my friend won her appeal but her payments were going to an old debit card she didn't have anymore and she had to call to update it which took forever
Quick update - I just received all my back payments today! Exactly 9 business days after my hearing. My claim status updated to "Active" on day 7, and the money hit my account 2 days later. All 18 weeks paid at once. Such a relief!
That's excellent news! This timeline aligns with what we typically expect for straightforward cases where everything is properly documented. Make sure to print or save digital copies of your payment history just in case there are any questions in the future.

This happened to me last week too with Chime. I think there might be some changes on their end with how they're processing government payments. My friend who gets SSI had the same issue last week where his payment was about 6 hours later than normal. One thing that's helped me is setting up the Transaction alerts in the Chime app so I get notified immediately when the deposit hits rather than checking constantly. Also, for future reference, it's good to have a small emergency buffer if you can so you're not cutting it so close with bills.

•That's good advice about the transaction alerts - just set that up! And yeah, I'm trying to build up a buffer but it's been tough since I lost my job. Hopefully I'll find something soon and not have to deal with UC payments anymore.

Mine FINALLY came through at 6:20pm!!! Never been this late before. Seems like something weird was happening with Chime and PA UC today. At least we all got paid eventually!
