PA UC direct deposit to CashApp card - payment stuck on 'total payment' status

DONT use cashapp for uc payments!! they hold the $ for like 5 days sometimes. happened to me back in january

I've been using CashApp for my PA UC payments for about 6 months now. The first payment can take longer to process - up to 5-7 business days. After that initial payment, mine typically arrive 2 days after the payment date showing in the system. One thing to check: make sure you entered your routing and account numbers exactly as they appear in your CashApp banking details. Even one digit off will cause the payment to be rejected and returned to UC, which causes significant delays.

This happened to me too but it was with chime not cashapp. took FOREVER to get my first payment it was like 9 days!!! But after that it was fine came in 2 days. The uc website is so confusing bc it says payment issued but then nothing shows up for days

I had similar issues with direct deposit to my CashApp card last year. The "total payment" status means PA UC processed the payment on their end, but there's still processing time for the banks involved. For CashApp specifically, they often hold unemployment deposits for "verification" - this is something they don't advertise but it's in their terms of service. After trying for weeks to get through to both PA UC and CashApp customer service with no luck, I found Claimyr (claimyr.com) and they got me connected to a PA UC agent in about 30 minutes. There's a demo video that shows how it works: https://youtu.be/CEPETxZdo9E?si=WL1ZzVZWG3KiHrg2. The agent confirmed my payment was sent but explained that some financial institutions like CashApp have longer hold times for government payments. After that conversation, I switched to direct deposit to my regular bank account and haven't had issues since.

I HATE THE UC SYSTEM!!!! Ive been having payment problems for MONTHS and each time i call its busy busy busy. They make it IMPOSSIBLE to talk to a real person when theres issues. "total payment" status has shown on my account for over a week before money actually hit my account before. The system is designed to make you give up i swear

There are a few things to understand about the PA UC payment process: 1. "Total payment" status means PA UC has released the funds, but it doesn't mean your bank has received or processed them yet. 2. First-time direct deposits to a new account typically take 5-7 business days (not calendar days) for processing. 3. Some financial services like CashApp, Chime, and other online banking platforms have their own processing timelines for government payments, which can add 1-3 additional business days. 4. If it's been more than 10 business days since your payment status changed to "total payment," you should contact PA UC directly as there may be an issue with your banking information. In my experience helping people with UC claims, alternative financial services like CashApp often have longer processing times for government deposits compared to traditional banks. This isn't unique to PA - it's common across unemployment systems nationwide.

my cousin had this happen with his unemployment he called cashapp and they said something about a security hold for first time government deposits they had to verify his identity or something before releasing the funds

I didn't use Cashapp but I had my UC payments going to my Venmo debit card last year. Same thing happened - said "total payment" but nothing showed up. I called PA UC and they said the payment was returned because Venmo rejected it. Had to switch to a regular bank. Might be same issue with Cashapp?

Just checking back - has your payment arrived yet? If not, I would definitely try to contact PA UC directly. While "total payment" status usually means things are processing normally, there's always the possibility of a technical issue that needs to be addressed, especially with non-traditional banking options like CashApp.
