Can't reach PA Treasury about my missing UC check - always says not accepting calls

Ugh same thing happened to me last month! It's SO annoying. The PA Treasury is impossible to reach by phone these days. Try emailing them at patreasury@patreasury.gov - that's how I finally got a response. But it took them like 4 days to get back to me. Also check if your check might have been sent to the wrong address or if it was returned to them.

The Treasury office is overwhelmed right now with benefit payment issues. Before you keep trying them, double-check on your UC portal that they actually sent the payment. Look under "Payment History" and see if it shows as "Cleared" or just "Issued". If it's just issued, it might still be processing and not actually with Treasury yet. Also, are you sure you're supposed to get a physical check? Most PA UC payments go to direct deposit or the Money Network card now.

Went thru this whole headache in March!!! you gotta call right when they open at 8am sharp. if u wait even til 8:30 the lines r full for the day. took me like 3 mornings of trying before i got thru.

THE WHOLE SYSTEM IS DESIGNED TO MAKE YOU GIVE UP!!! I spent TWO MONTHS trying to get my UC money that they owed me. Treasury dept is the worst of all. They tell you to call UC, UC tells you to call Treasury, and NOBODY ANSWERS THEIR PHONES!!! The only way I finally got it resolved was going IN PERSON to the local CareerLink office and making them call on my behalf. Even then it took another 3 weeks to get my $$.

I work with UC claimants regularly. Here's what you should do: 1. First, contact UC again and ask them to verify the check was actually printed and mailed. Get the exact date it was mailed and the check number if possible. 2. If the check was definitely mailed more than 10 business days ago, you can request a replacement through UC by filing a "Forgery Affidavit" - don't let the name confuse you, it's also used for lost/undelivered checks. 3. For contacting Treasury directly, their Unclaimed Property Division might be able to help: 1-800-222-2046. This is different than their main number. 4. Also check www.patreasury.gov/unclaimed-property to see if your check was returned and is listed there. Be prepared that if you do need a replacement check, it typically takes 4-6 weeks to process.

I had to contact PA Treasury about my UC check last year and it was literally impossible to get through on their regular phone lines. After two weeks of trying, I finally used Claimyr (claimyr.com) and got connected to a real person at UC who was able to conference in someone from Treasury. They have a video showing how it works: https://youtu.be/CEPETxZdo9E?si=WL1ZzVZWG3KiHrg2 They got me through immediately when I had been trying for days with no luck. The UC rep was able to see that my check had been issued but returned to Treasury because of a wrong address digit. They fixed it on the spot and I got my payment reissued.

check ur bank account maybe they deposit it there even tho they said paper check. this happened to my sister last week they told her check but it went to her bank

One more thing to consider - if this is a UC check from a claim that's more than one year old, Treasury might have moved it to unclaimed property status. In that case, you'd need to file a claim through the unclaimed property website. Also, I forgot to mention in my first comment, but you should make sure your mailing address is 100% correct in the UC system. Even a small error like an apartment number missing can cause a check to be returned to Treasury.

Any luck with contacting them? I'm curious if any of the suggestions worked for you.
