I'm going through something very similar right now! I live in Ohio but work for a company based in Pennsylvania, with some travel to West Virginia for client meetings. This thread has been a goldmine of information. One thing I wanted to add that helped me understand my situation better: I called my company's payroll department and asked them to clarify which state they've been paying unemployment insurance taxes to for my position. It turned out they were paying to PA even though I work remotely from Ohio, because that's where their payroll is processed. This made it clear that I should file in PA. For anyone else reading this, I'd definitely recommend making that call to your payroll/HR department before filing. They can usually tell you right away which state your unemployment taxes were paid to, and having that information makes the decision much clearer. Some companies pay to the employee's home state, others pay to their own state - it really varies by company policy. Also, I've been keeping a detailed log of all my work locations and hours over the past year, just in case PA asks for verification. It sounds like overkill, but after reading about some of the documentation requests people have mentioned here, I'd rather be over-prepared than caught off guard!

This has been such a comprehensive discussion! As someone who recently navigated a similar multi-state situation, I wanted to add a few practical tips that might help others: 1. **Document everything from day one** - I created a simple spreadsheet tracking all my communications with unemployment offices, including dates, times, reference numbers, and what was discussed. This was invaluable when I had to follow up later. 2. **Be prepared for the "monetary determination" to take longer** - Interstate claims require wage verification from multiple states, so your monetary determination (the document showing your benefit amount) can take 2-4 weeks longer than usual. Don't panic if it seems delayed! 3. **Check your state's reciprocity agreements** - Some states have special agreements that can streamline the process. PA has agreements with several neighboring states that can make wage verification faster. 4. **Save copies of EVERYTHING** - Your application, any correspondence, wage records from all states. I learned this the hard way when PA asked me to resubmit something I thought they already had. The interstate claims process is definitely more complex than single-state claims, but the good news is that once it's set up correctly, the weekly certification process is the same as any other claim. Hang in there - it's worth the extra effort to make sure you get all the benefits you're entitled to!

To summarize what everyone has correctly pointed out: When filing weekly claims in PA, you report gross wages for work performed during that specific week (Sunday-Saturday), regardless of when you get paid for that work. Since you didn't work any days this week, you would report 0 days worked and $0 earnings, even though you're receiving a final paycheck for work done in previous weeks. You should be eligible for full benefits for this week. Just make sure you continue filing every week, complete your work search activities (you need to do at least 2 per week), and keep documentation of your job applications.

Just wanted to add - keep ALL your documentation from this final paycheck (pay stub, etc.) in case PA UC ever asks for it later during an audit or review. Even though you're reporting it correctly by not including it in this week's claim, having that paper trail showing the dates you actually worked vs when you got paid could save you headaches down the road. I learned this the hard way when they requested 6 months of documentation during a routine review. Better to be over-prepared than scrambling later!

I've been filing PA UC for about 8 months now and I can tell you that filing a few hours late on Monday morning is really not a big deal at all! I've done this probably 4-5 times when I've had Sunday plans that ran late or just completely spaced out. Every single time, my payment just came one day later than usual - so if you normally get it Tuesday, expect it Wednesday. The system really does give you Sunday through Friday to file, so you're well within the window. The only time I've seen people have real problems is when they miss multiple days in a row or have other issues already flagged on their account. Since this is your first time being late and you filed within hours of the Sunday deadline, you should be totally fine. I know rent deadlines are stressful, but one day shouldn't throw off your whole budget too much. Just set a phone alarm for every Sunday at like 2 PM going forward - that's what I did after my second time forgetting and I haven't missed since!

I'm new to the PA UC system and this thread has been incredibly helpful! I just started collecting benefits last month and I've been paranoid about messing up the weekly certification process. Reading everyone's experiences about filing a few hours late really puts things in perspective. It sounds like the system is more forgiving than I expected - I was under the impression that missing Sunday by even an hour would cause major problems. Good to know that filing early Monday morning just means a one-day delay rather than losing a whole week. I'm definitely going to set multiple reminders on my phone after seeing how easy it is to forget, especially on busy weekends. Thanks to everyone for sharing their stories - this community is such a great resource for navigating all the confusing parts of unemployment benefits!

Hey there! I'm in a similar boat - just got my payment dates showing up yesterday after waiting since mid-January. It's such a relief to finally see some movement! Based on what everyone's saying here, it sounds like we should expect the card within 7-10 business days. I'm trying not to stress about it too much since the hardest part (getting approved) seems to be behind us. Fingers crossed both our cards arrive soon! Thanks for posting this - it's really helpful to see I'm not the only one going through this timeline.

I went through this exact same situation last month! Saw my payment dates appear on a Wednesday and was anxiously checking the mail every day. The Money Network card arrived exactly 8 business days later in a very plain white envelope - honestly looked like junk mail at first glance. Once I activated it online, all my pending payments were available immediately. The whole process was nerve-wracking but worked out fine. Just keep filing your weekly claims while you wait and don't panic if it takes the full 10 days - seems like mail delivery varies by area. You're so close to the finish line now!

Just wanted to add another perspective - I had a Board of Review reversal in January and it took exactly 12 business days from the phone call telling me about the decision to money in my account. The most important thing I learned is to screenshot EVERYTHING once payments start showing up in your dashboard. I had one week that initially showed as paid but then disappeared for like 3 days (some kind of system glitch) and having the screenshot helped when I called to ask about it. Also, once you start seeing the payment dates populate, they usually hit your account 1-2 days earlier than the dates shown. You've been through the hardest part - Board of Review reversals are pretty rare so you clearly had a strong case. Good luck and hopefully you'll have some relief soon! 💪

Wow, congrats on getting the Board of Review to reverse your case! That's actually pretty rare from what I've seen in this group. I went through a similar situation about 6 months ago (also had a harassment case that the referee initially denied). In my experience, once the Board makes their decision, it took about 8-10 business days for everything to show up in my dashboard. The tricky part is that sometimes the determination letter shows up first, then a few days later you'll see all the payment dates populate at once. One thing that really helped me was calling the customer service line once I hit the 10-day mark just to make sure there weren't any technical holds on my account. Sometimes there are random flags that need to be cleared manually. Also, definitely keep filing your weekly certs if you haven't been! Even though it feels pointless, it makes the whole process smoother once everything gets sorted out. You're so close to the finish line - hang in there! 💪
