PA UC check delivery timeframe & continued benefits during employer appeal - urgent help needed!

For your first question, PA UC checks typically take 5-7 business days to arrive once Treasury mails them. So if it went out Tuesday 3/7, you should receive it between Tuesday 3/14 and Thursday 3/16. The mail has been pretty slow lately though. On your second question, yes - that statement means your benefits will continue while the appeal is pending. The employer appeal doesn't stop your payments as long as the examiner already ruled in your favor. Just make sure you keep doing your weekly certifications and work search activities during this time!

i got an appeal from my employer too last month, took like 4 weeks to get a hearing date. make sure u save ALL ur paperwork from everything, they'll want copies of stuff. and ya the checks r super slow, mine took like 10 days once

When my old boss filed an appeal last year it didnt stop my checks but the hearing was super stressful!!!! Make sure u have someone with u for support. The hearing ppl were nice but my boss had a lawyer and I didnt know what I was doing. Still won tho!! Good luck!!!!

To answer your question about the hearing timeline - it varies, but typically 4-6 weeks to get scheduled. The notice will come by mail with all the details. If you haven't already, set up your direct deposit for future payments to avoid check delays. For the hearing, they'll focus on the same eligibility issues the examiner already ruled on, but you'll need to present your side again. Also, no, you don't absolutely need a lawyer. Many claimants represent themselves successfully, especially if you've already won at the examiner level. Just bring all documentation related to your separation and be prepared to explain your side clearly.

Have you tried calling the PA UC customer service line about either issue? If you can actually get through to a representative, they can look up the exact status of your check and might be able to give you more specific info about the appeal process in your case. I spent 3 days trying to get through and finally used Claimyr (claimyr.com) to reach a live agent quickly. They have a video showing how it works here: https://youtu.be/CEPETxZdo9E?si=WL1ZzVZWG3KiHrg2. The agent was able to tell me exactly when my payment processed and explained everything about my appeal situation.

@OP another thing I just thought of - check what kind of appeal your employer filed. If it's a 'timeliness' appeal (meaning they're arguing they didn't get to respond within their time window), those are different from appeals challenging the actual eligibility determination. The letter should specify what type of appeal it is.

omg this happend to my sister!! the apeal took foreever but she kept gettin paid the hole time!! for ur check my last one took 9 days so dont panick yet ok? PA is soooooo slow with evrything lol. but ya what evryone says is tru. keep doin ur weekly claims dont miss anyyyyyyy!!! thats super important.

hey just wonderin did u ever get that direct deposit setup?? way better than checks trust me

If your employer is challenging a layoff vs. quit determination and you already won at the examiner level, you're in a strong position. The burden of proof shifts to them during the appeal. Make sure you have written documentation of the layoff if possible (emails, texts, termination letter, etc). Also, in my experience, many employers file appeals automatically but then don't show up for the hearing - if that happens, you basically win by default. And yes, your benefits WILL continue during this process, that's the law in PA.
