After winning PA UC appeal - got payment date but no transaction number, how long to wait?

Congrats on winning your appeal! Payment date is definitely a good sign - it means your claim has been processed and approved for payment. In my experience, transaction numbers typically appear within 2-3 business days after a payment date is assigned. The money should hit your Money Network card 1-2 days after that. So you're probably looking at having funds by next week if everything goes smoothly.

congrats!! i won my appeal 2 months ago. got my payment in 4 days after the payment date showed up. dont worry!

I wouldn't get too excited yet. I had a payment date for THREE MONTHS before I actually got my money!!!! The system is BROKEN and they don't care about us!! Every time I called they just said "it's processing" but wouldn't tell me why it was taking so long. By the time I got my money I had already been evicted from my apartment!!

Successful appeals typically process faster than initial claims with issues. The payment date is a very positive sign as it means your claim has passed the approval stage. Transaction numbers usually appear in the UC system within 1-3 business days after the payment date is assigned. Some important details to know: 1. Transaction numbers generally only update on business days 2. The Money Network card funding typically happens 24-48 hours after the transaction number appears 3. First payments after appeals often include all eligible back weeks You should be able to see your money within a week. If the transaction number doesn't appear by the 3rd business day after your payment date, that would be the time to follow up with UC.

My cousin went through the same thing last month and had a similar payment amount. His money showed up exactly one week after the payment date appeared. I think you're gonna be fine!

Mine was slow after appeal but not months. Maybe 10 days total? What I learned is that if there's an issue, calling early can sometimes fix it before it becomes a bigger problem. I used Claimyr (claimyr.com) to get through to an actual PA UC rep without waiting all day. They have a video showing how it works: https://youtu.be/CEPETxZdo9E?si=WL1ZzVZWG3KiHrg2. The rep I talked to was able to see exactly what was happening with my payment and told me exactly when to expect it. Saved me weeks of stress.

am i the only one who thinjs its weird that you got a payment date so fast after winning??? my friend had to wait like 3 weeks after her hearing before anything updated. maybe theres another problem they didnt tell u about?? idk just seems suspicious

UPDATE: Transaction number appeared this morning! Only took 2 business days after the payment date showed up. Thanks for all the helpful comments - definitely reduced my anxiety. My Money Network card has been inactive for so long I had to call and reset the PIN, but everything's good to go now. This feels like a huge weight off my shoulders.

Congratulations on your successful appeal! 🎉 It sounds like everything is moving along perfectly - seeing both the payment date AND getting the transaction number within just 2 business days is exactly how it should work. Don't forget to check that your Money Network card is active and ready to receive the funds. Sometimes people forget their PINs after months of inactivity (sounds like you already handled that though!). You should see the money hit your card within the next 1-2 days. What a relief this must be after 6 weeks of fighting!
