PA UC direct deposit timing - still not posted today? (Usually hits by 6AM)
Anyone else still waiting for their PA UC direct deposit today? My payments normally hit my bank account by 6AM on Wednesday, but it's now almost noon and nothing yet. This is the first time it's been late since I started claiming 6 weeks ago. My payment status shows "paid" in the system since yesterday. Is there some kind of delay affecting direct deposits this week? Starting to worry since rent is due tomorrow...

Most banks process PA UC deposits between 12am-8am, but I've seen mine come in as late as 2-3pm sometimes. The UC system releases them in batches and the banks process them differently. Don't panic yet - if your portal shows \

Thanks, that's slightly reassuring. I bank with PNC and it's been super consistent until today. I'll try to stop obsessively checking my account every 5 minutes lol.

The system is ALWAYS having issues! First they take forever to approve claims, then they randomly flag accounts for \

Direct deposits have been delayed statewide today due to a processing issue. According to the PA UC Facebook page (just checked), they're aware of the problem and most payments should arrive by end of business day. If you don't receive it by tomorrow morning, that's when you should contact them.

Oh thanks for the info! I didn't think to check their social media. That explains it then.

If you need to speak with someone at PA UC about your payment status, try Claimyr (claimyr.com). I was in a similar situation last month where my payment showed \

is that service legit? seems kinda sketchy that you have to pay just to talk to unemployment when its supposed to be free?

It's definitely legit. I was skeptical too, but they don't ask for any sensitive info - they just help you bypass the phone queue. Worth every penny when you're desperate to reach someone and can't get through on your own.

This happens EVERY time there's a holiday weekend coming up. Memorial Day is Monday so they're probably processing payments differently. Last year before Thanksgiving my deposit was 2 days late. Just how the system works sometimes.

Update: Mine just hit my account at 3:45pm! Much later than usual but at least it came through. Thanks everyone for the reassurance!

Glad to hear it came through! Just for future reference - PA UC processes payments in batches and sometimes banking holidays (even ones you wouldn't think of) can cause delays. As long as it shows \
