PA UC check delay after bank verification issue - when will I get my money?

The paper checks usually take 7-10 business days to arrive after they're processed. So if your claim was approved last Friday, you're probably looking at getting your check sometime next week at the earliest. Make sure your mailing address is correct in the system! Sometimes the address verification can cause additional delays.

omg the same exact thing happened to me in january! so annoying they dont tell u about the verification until after. my first check took 12 days to come but then the others came faster like 5-6 days

you can try calling treasury again to see if they can tell you when the checks were mailed out

NOBODY tells you ANYTHING with PA unemployment until it's too late!!! I had the EXACT same problem last year but it took me almost THREE WEEKS to get my first check after approval. The system is designed to delay payments as long as possible!! If you need to reach someone at Treasury, good luck because their phone lines are ALWAYS busy!!!

my cousins roomate had this happen and he got his check in 9 days. but i think it depends on what part of PA ur in, rural areas take longer i heard

To specifically answer your question: PA UC paper checks typically arrive within 5-10 business days after the payment date shown in your portal. Here's what affects the timing: 1. Processing delay after approval (usually 1-2 business days) 2. Check printing at Treasury (1 business day) 3. USPS delivery time (3-7 business days depending on location) You should monitor your claim status online - when it shows "paid" with a payment date and check number, that means your check has been processed and is in the mail system. If you don't receive it within 10 business days after that payment date, you can request a replacement. In the meantime, you might want to set up your direct deposit information again for future payments. There's a specific validation process Treasury uses that sometimes flags legitimate accounts. After receiving your first payment by check, try updating your bank information again and then call to confirm it's been verified.

did u try checking ur mailbox today maybe it came early

A similar situation happened to me last month. After my bank verification issue, I received my first check exactly 8 business days after the payment date showed in my portal. For me that meant it came on a Wednesday when the payment date was the Monday of the previous week. One thing to keep in mind is that the paper checks come in very plain-looking envelopes that could easily be mistaken for junk mail. I almost threw mine away! The return address just says "Commonwealth of Pennsylvania" with no mention of unemployment. Once you get your first check, I highly recommend trying to set up direct deposit again. Sometimes the system just needs to be reset after that first payment. My direct deposit started working for my second payment without any issues.

what day did it show payment date in ur portal? sometimes the check comes before it even shows in the system lol PA uc is so backwards

i work at the post office and we've been getting tons of these UC checks lately. they usually take 3-5 days from harrisburg to most places in PA if that helps
