PA UC Backpay approved after BYE date - how will I get my money without active weekly claims?

congrats on winning ur backpay battle!! they'll put it on ur card, my cousin had smth similar happen last month. should take like 2-3 business days tops

The backpay should automatically be deposited to your Money Network card within 3-5 business days after the determination date. Since this is an adjustment to benefits already claimed during your benefit year, you don't need to file new certifications. The system will process it automatically based on the determination. If you don't see the payment within a week, I'd recommend calling them to follow up. Make sure your Money Network card hasn't expired - they're typically valid for 3 years from issue date.

Oh man i've been trying to get my wages corrected for WEEKS but the employers not responding to UC!!!!! Did you have to do an appeal hearing to get yours fixed or did they just eventually fix it????? I'm so stressed about this i really need that money

I went through this exact situation in January. They should automatically process the payment to your Money Network card without you having to do anything. Mine took exactly 6 business days to appear. One thing to watch for: check if the determination letter mentions "net payment" anywhere. In my case, they had overpaid me on something else, so they reduced my backpay by that amount. The determination letter showed the full backpay amount, but the actual deposit was less. Also, you might want to check if your Money Network card is still active since your BYE date passed. Sometimes they deactivate cards if there hasn't been activity for a certain period. You can call the number on the back of the card to check the status.

GOOD LUCK getting through to them if you need to call!!!! I spent TWO WEEKS trying to talk to someone about my backpay. Busy signals, disconnects, the whole PA UC nightmare!!! They owed me money too but it was like pulling teeth to get answers!!!

wait did u make sure the money network card is still active?? my bro let his sit for like 2 months and they deactivated it or something and he had to request a new one

One more thing to consider - make sure your address is up to date in the UC system. Even though the payment will go to your existing card, they'll send a paper notice confirming the payment was issued. If you've moved since filing your initial claim, update your address through your dashboard or by calling UC directly. Also, when the payment hits your card, check if there are any taxes withheld. Backpay adjustments are still subject to the same tax withholding selections you made when you first filed your claim. This sometimes surprises people when the deposit is less than expected.

Just out of curiousity what was wrong with your wages that they had to fix??? Was it missing employer or wrong amounts?? I'm in the middle of trying to get mine corrected and its been a nightmare!!!

I received backpay in February for a similar situation and it took exactly 8 days to appear on my Money Network card after the determination letter date (which was a Friday, so maybe that extended it). Just to prepare you though - when I called to check my card balance after a week, the automated system said I had $0, but when I spoke to a human rep, they could see the payment was pending in their system. Sometimes there's a delay between when UC processes it and when it actually hits the card. As others have said, just keep checking your card balance, and if nothing shows up after a week, that's when you should start making calls.
