PA UC payment after holiday Monday - will I get paid on Thursday?

Yes, with Monday being a holiday, your payment will likely arrive Thursday instead of Wednesday. PA UC usually processes claims filed on Sunday the next business day, which would be Tuesday in this case. Then it takes 1-2 business days for the payment to hit your account/card. Been claiming for 6 months now and this pattern is pretty consistent with holiday weeks.

depends if u have direct deposit or the Money Network card. card usually takes an extra day sometimes

The holiday ALWAYS messes up my payments!!! Last Memorial Day my money was 3 DAYS LATE and nobody at UC would tell me what happened!!!! I spent HOURS calling and getting busy signals. The system is completely BROKEN!!!! Good luck getting your money on time!!!

When I had trouble getting through to PA UC during a holiday week, I used a service called Claimyr that got me connected to an agent in about 20 minutes instead of spending hours redialing. They have a demo video at https://youtu.be/CEPETxZdo9E?si=WL1ZzVZWG3KiHrg2 showing how it works. I was skeptical but it saved me so much frustration when I needed to confirm my payment status during a holiday week. Their website is claimyr.com if you need to talk to someone at UC about your payment timing.

Sometimes holiday payments actually come early! I once got paid Tuesday instead of Wednesday after a Monday holiday. Don't assume delay. The UC system is weird and unpredictable sometimes lol

According to the PA Office of Unemployment Compensation, with a Monday holiday, the payment processing cycle shifts by one business day. Claims filed Sunday get processed Tuesday, and direct deposit payments typically post Thursday. Money Network card deposits may take until Friday. This assumes no open issues on your claim and that you've completed all required work search activities for the week. The UC website (www.uc.pa.gov) usually posts holiday processing schedules under their announcements section.

my cousin works at the unemployment office and she told me that sometimes they process everything on holiday mondays anyway, just depends on whos working that day lol so u might get it wednesday still

hey did u get ur payment on thursday? mine still hasnt come thru and im getting worried

Just went through this exact same situation last month with the Presidents Day holiday. Filed Sunday night, Monday was the holiday, and my direct deposit hit Thursday morning around 10am. The processing definitely gets pushed back one business day when there's a Monday holiday, but it's pretty predictable once you know the pattern. Make sure to check your UC portal Wednesday evening - it should show as "processed" even though the money won't be in your account until Thursday.

I've been collecting UC for about 8 months now and holiday weeks always throw me off too! One thing I learned is that if you set up text alerts through the UC portal, they'll actually send you a notification when your payment is processed, which usually happens the day before it hits your account. It's saved me a lot of anxiety checking my bank balance constantly. The alerts are free and you can turn them on in your profile settings.
