Employer withdrew appeal for my PA UC benefits - will payments continue?

same thing happend to me last year with my employer. they tried to say i quit when i was actually laid off lol. after they withdrew the appeal i got paid the next payment date for me which was Tuesday.

When an employer withdraws their appeal and it's granted by UC, this generally means your benefits will continue without further interruption. The system should automatically resume payments for any weeks you've already certified. However, there's often a 1-2 business day processing time before the status updates in the system. Keep filing your weekly claims as normal. Check your payment history online daily - you should see pending payments appear there first before they hit your Money Network card or direct deposit account.

DO NOT assume ANYTHING with PA UC!! They might SAY your benefits will continue but the SYSTEM doesn't always do what they claim!! I had an employer withdraw an appeal last year and my benefits were STILL FROZEN for another 2 months while they "processed" things!! You NEED to call them ASAP and get it in WRITING that your benefits are continuing!!

I had a similar situation back in October. The payments should resume on their own, but like others have said, PA UC can be unpredictable. If you don't see a payment pending within 3-4 business days after receiving that notice, you should definitely try to get through to a rep. When I needed to talk to someone at UC, I used this service called Claimyr (claimyr.com) that got me through to an agent after trying for days on my own. They have a video showing how it works: https://youtu.be/CEPETxZdo9E?si=WL1ZzVZWG3KiHrg2. Saved me weeks of waiting and stressing.

Just to provide some clarity on this process: When an employer withdraws an appeal, the UC Service Center typically reviews and approves the withdrawal, and then reinstates benefits if the original determination was in your favor (which it sounds like it was). The important thing is that the approval notice you received means the withdrawal was accepted, not that there's a new decision about your benefits. Your claim should revert to its pre-appeal status, which was approved. Keep filing weekly claims and check your dashboard for updates. If nothing changes within 5 business days of receiving that notice, then you should contact the UC Service Center. By PA law, they must process the withdrawal and resume payments for eligible weeks within a reasonable timeframe.

did u make sure to look for work? they won't pay if u don't do the work search activities each week. i forgot to do it one week and they stopped my payments

This whole system is so frustrating! Just when you think everything is fine, employers can throw a wrench in the works with these bogus appeals. In my experience, even after an appeal is withdrawn, there's almost always some kind of delay. The UC system seems designed to make it as difficult as possible to get benefits we're entitled to. I would not just sit back and wait. Keep calling, check your portal daily, and document everything. And definitely follow up if you don't see movement in a few days.
