PA UC claim status 'in review' with payment 'in progress' - what's the timeline?

the in progress is actually a good sign! mine was stuck on in review for like 3 weeks then changed to in progress and i got paid 4 days later

had the exact same thing happen last month!!! in review forever then in progress and then BOOM money on my card!!! just hang in there!!!!!

In" review "and in" progress are two different parts of the PA UC claim "process. In" review refers to your overall claim eligibility which can take 2-3 weeks "currently. In" progress specifically means the payment processing has begun for weeks'you ve certified, which is actually a positive sign. Most claimants see funds within 2-4 business days after the payment status changes "to in" progress, assuming there are no other issues with your claim. Make sure you continue filing your weekly certifications on time, even if you'haven t received payment yet. The system will backdate payments to eligible weeks once your claim is fullyapproved.

DONT GET TOO EXCITED!! Mine said "in progress" for THREE WEEKS before they flagged it for "additional verification" and I had to upload a bunch more documents!!! The PA unemployment system is designed to DELAY payments as long as possible!!! They play these games to save money!!!!

I was in this exact situation back in February. My claim was "in review" but payments said "in progress" for about a week. I was going crazy trying to get through to someone on the phone to explain what was happening. I finally discovered Claimyr (claimyr.com) which got me connected to a UC rep in about 20 minutes instead of spending days calling. They have a video that shows how it works: https://youtu.be/CEPETxZdo9E?si=WL1ZzVZWG3KiHrg2 The rep explained that "in progress" means they've started processing my payment but were still finalizing some verification on my overall claim. I got paid 3 days later. If you're stressed about the wait and need clarity, getting through to a live person really helped me understand my exact situation.

my sister works for the state (not unemployment but different department) and she told me that there system is really old and sometimes shows different status messages that don't match up right. she said as long as somethings moving forward and changing status that's usually good news. hope that helps

UPDATE: You guys were right! Just checked my account and the money hit my Money Network card this morning! Just wanted to update in case anyone else has the same confusion I did. Took exactly 14 days from initial filing to payment. Thanks for all the help and explaining the different statuses!

Congratulations Carmen! This is such a relief to see a success story. Your timeline of 14 days from filing to payment is really helpful for others to know what to expect. I'm currently in a similar situation - filed 8 days ago and seeing "in review" with "in progress" for payments. Your update gives me hope that I'm on the right track. Thanks for coming back to share the good news with everyone!
