How long for PA UC checks to arrive in mail? Mine's been delayed 3 weeks!

Paper checks usually take 5-7 business days after they show 'issued' in the system. If it's been 15 days, something's definitely wrong. You should report it as missing. My neighbor had this happen and it turned out his check was delivered to the wrong address in our building.

same thing happend to me last yr, but my check showed up after like 20 days. the mail is just super slow sometimes specially around tax season

You NEED to report it ASAP!!! I waited 4 weeks for mine and when I finally got through to someone they told me it was RETURNED to them because of a 'delivery issue' but nobody bothered to tell me!!! Then had to wait ANOTHER 2 weeks for them to reissue it! The system is COMPLETELY BROKEN!!

To report a missing check, you need to wait until 15 business days (not calendar days) have passed since the issue date. Then call the UC service center at 1-888-313-7284. Be prepared for a long wait time, though. When you get through, request a tracer to be put on the check. They'll investigate, and if needed, stop payment on the original check and issue a new one. Make sure your address is correct in the system too. If you can't get through on the phone, use Claimyr (claimyr.com) - they can connect you to a UC agent usually within an hour. Saved me so much time when I had a similar issue. Check out their demo video: https://youtu.be/CEPETxZdo9E?si=WL1ZzVZWG3KiHrg2

I used Claimyr last month when I couldn't get through about my open issue. It worked but just be aware you still have to wait on hold after they connect you - just not as long. Got through in about 45 mins vs days of trying on my own.

hey just wondering - did u update ur address when u switched to paper checks? sometimes the system keeps the old address even when u update it. happened to my cousin, checks went to his old apartment for 2 months b4 he figured it out.

One time my check said issued but it took 22 days to arrive. I was about to report it missing when it finally showed up. The postal service in my area is terrible though.

Since it's been more than 15 business days, you should definitely request a tracer on the check. When you talk to a representative, make sure to ask them to verify the address they sent it to as well. They can see the full address in their system, which sometimes shows more details than what we can see in the portal.

glad u got it figured out! make sure they fix ur address in the system so it doesnt happen again next time
