PA UC overpayment waiver check arrived smaller than expected - Will more checks come?

yes this happened 2 me last year!! they sent my refund in 3 seperate checks over about 2 weeks. the dashboard updated each time before the check came. dont panic yet

The UC office typically processes overpayment waiver refunds in batches based on payment periods. It's actually quite common for them to send multiple checks rather than one lump sum. This happens because each payment period is tracked separately in their system. I would recommend keeping an eye on your dashboard for additional updates over the next 2-3 weeks. You should see new entries appear before each check arrives. If you don't see any movement after 2 weeks, then it might be worth contacting them.

My cousin went thru this same EXACT thing in January!!! They sent him checks for like 6 weeks straight, all different amounts. The whole thing is a JOKE honestly. They take ur money in one big chunk but give it back in little pieces. Classic government nonsense!!!

I had to deal with an overpayment waiver last year. From my experience, they often split the payments based on how the overpayment was originally calculated (by benefit week). Check your dashboard carefully - there should be line items showing which weeks were included in this first refund payment. The good news is that yes, you should get additional checks until you reach the full amount that was waived. The bad news is that it might take 3-4 weeks for all payments to process completely. If you don't see movement on your dashboard within two weeks, try reaching Claimyr.com - they helped me get through to a UC rep when I had questions about my waiver refund status. They have a video showing how it works: https://youtu.be/CEPETxZdo9E?si=WL1ZzVZWG3KiHrg2 Rather than spending hours calling and getting busy signals, I got through in about 20 minutes.

I'm going through almost the same thing right now! My waiver got approved 3 weeks ago and I've received 2 checks so far (about $2700 total) but I'm still waiting on another $1900 or so. The UC rep I spoke with told me they have to process each benefit week individually because of how their computer system works. Something about different rates applying to different weeks? I don't really get it but they assured me all the money will come eventually. I've been taking pictures of each check as it arrives just to be safe. I suggest doing the same and keeping a running total so you know exactly what you've received so far.

I dont know what everybody else is talking about. When i had a waiver they sent me just 1 check for everything. Maybe u should just call them directly & ask whats happening w your specific case

Just wanted to update everyone - I ended up calling PA UC about my overpayment waiver refund last month, and they told me that checks are coming out in batches based on benefit weeks. The agent said it could take up to 6 weeks for all refunds to be processed completely. So far I've received 4 separate checks that total about 80% of what I was owed. Still waiting on the rest! The most annoying part is how there's no way to track this online properly - the dashboard just shows vague adjustments but doesn't tell you how many more payments to expect.

One more thing to be aware of - make sure you're keeping track of which weeks have been refunded. If the total doesn't match up after all checks have arrived, you'll need documentation when you contact them. I learned this the hard way - they missed refunding one week of my overpayment waiver, and I had to provide proof of exactly which week was missing.
