PA UC finally approved - how long does direct deposit take for 7 weeks backpay?

For me it was exactly 2 business days after the payment date shown in the system. So if your payment date is 2/2 and that's a weekday, you should see it by 2/4. Sometimes it can process overnight and you'll see it the next day. Make sure your direct deposit info is correct in the system!

congrats on getting approved! mine took 3 days last month but my brother got his next day so i think it depends on your bank

DON'T COUNT ON EXACT TIMEFRAMES!!! The system said my payment date was 1/15 but I didn't get ANYTHING until 1/21!!! PA UC is COMPLETELY unreliable and they won't tell you if there's any hold-up. Keep calling them every day until you see the $$$. They probably "forgot" to process something!!

My experience might help - I received approval for 5 weeks of backpay on January 13th with a payment date of January 15th. The money appeared in my checking account on January 17th (a Friday). Most banks will process direct deposits on business days only, and some smaller banks/credit unions can take an extra day. One thing to be aware of: if this is your first payment, it sometimes takes one additional business day to process compared to regular weekly payments. Also, check your bank's policy on large deposits - some banks place holds on unusually large deposits, though this usually applies to checks rather than direct deposits. Hope this helps and congratulations on getting approved!

I got approved for backpay last month but then ended up having to call because there was some kind of payment issue they didn't tell me about. They fixed it right away once I got through but it was impossible to get someone on the phone. Busy signals for days!

According to the PA UC guidelines, direct deposits are typically processed within 2-3 business days after the payment date shown in your portal. However, first-time payments sometimes require an additional verification step that can add 1-2 business days to the process. If your payment doesn't appear within 5 business days of the listed payment date, I recommend contacting the UC service center. They can verify that your payment was processed correctly and that there aren't any holds on your account. Also, make sure you continue filing your weekly claims during this waiting period so there's no interruption in your benefits going forward.

my bank always shows pending deposits like a day before they actually hit my account. maybe check if u have any pending transactions?

did u get the money yet??? im in almost the same situation and wondering what happened
