PA UC claim APPROVED after 6 weeks - when will direct deposit hit my bank account?

Congrats on getting approved! PA UC payments by direct deposit usually hit your bank account within 2-3 business days after the approval date. Since you've been filing weekly claims all along, you should receive all your backpay in one lump sum deposit. Make sure your bank account info is correctly entered in the system to avoid any delays. You can double-check this under the "Payment Information" section of your dashboard.

mine took 4 days to hit my acct so dont panic if it doesnt show up right away

It's definitely a relief to finally get approved! For direct deposit timing, here's what typically happens: 1. Approval date (today for you) 2. Payment processing (1-2 business days) 3. Bank processing (1-2 business days depending on your bank) So realistically, you're looking at 2-4 business days total. Since you got approved on a Friday, you'll likely see the funds by Tuesday or Wednesday next week. And yes, you should receive all backpay at once, which is nice after such a long wait! One thing to watch for - sometimes the first payment comes on a Money Network debit card even if you selected direct deposit. PA UC sometimes does this while verifying your bank details. If that happens, they'll mail you a card, which can take 7-10 days to arrive.

DONT COUNT ON IT COMING QUICKLY!!!! I waited 8 weeks for approval then another 2 weeks for my money! The system is BROKEN. They approved me then put another "open issue" on my claim for no reason. Had to call 57 times to get through to someone who could help. Total nightmare!!!

I recently went through this same situation and was getting so frustrated with the waiting game. After my claim was approved, I still couldn't get through to anyone to confirm when payment would process. I discovered Claimyr (claimyr.com) which got me connected to an actual PA UC agent in about 20 minutes instead of spending days calling and getting busy signals. They have a video showing how it works: https://youtu.be/CEPETxZdo9E?si=WL1ZzVZWG3KiHrg2 The agent confirmed my payment was processing and explained exactly when it would hit my account. Gave me peace of mind since I had bills coming due. Might be worth checking out if you run into any issues with your payment.

So I had a similar situation last month where I waited 7 weeks for approval. Just wanted to share my actual timeline: - Got the approval email on a Thursday - Checked my bank account obsessively for days lol - Money appeared Tuesday morning (so 3 business days) - All 7 weeks paid at once, including the extra $5 for each dependent I claimed But here's something weird - the deposit showed as "PA TREAS UC" not "unemployment" so I almost missed it! Just a heads up to check for that name on your transaction list. Also make sure your work search requirements are still being met each week while you wait for the money. They can stop future payments if you miss logging those activities.

congrats!! its the best feeling ever after waiting so long. my direct deposit came 3 days after approval but my friend got hers the next day so it depends i guess

One more important thing to keep in mind - now that your claim is approved, you still need to file your weekly certification claims on time. Some people think once they're approved they automatically get paid, but you have to keep filing every week. Your next filing day should still be on your regular schedule (Sunday-Friday depending on your Social Security Number). Missing a weekly filing can cause delays or gaps in payment.
