PA UC payment approved today with 3/1 date - when will Money Network card receive funds over weekend?

Congrats on the approval! When the payment date shows up, that means the funds have been processed and released from UC. Generally with Money Network cards, it takes 1-2 business days after the payment date for the funds to be available. Since your payment date is 3/1, you'll likely see the funds available on your card by Monday, possibly Tuesday at the latest. Weekend definitely slows things down unfortunately.

same boat!! just got approved yesterday after waiting since january!! the anxiety is REAL lol

It takes 48-72 hrs for Money Network to process after PA UC releases the payment. Since tomorrow is Friday you probably wont see it till Monday. Weekends dont count as business days for them unfortuntly.

I've been through this process several times with PA unemployment. Here's exactly what happens: Once you see a payment date, PA UC has released the funds to Money Network. The lack of a transaction number just means it's in that initial processing stage. Money Network typically takes 1-2 business days to make funds available after they receive them from UC. Since your payment date is 3/1 (tomorrow), Money Network will receive the funds tomorrow, but since their processing takes 1-2 business days and weekends don't count, you'll most likely see the funds available Monday afternoon, or Tuesday morning at the latest. One tip - you can call the Money Network customer service number on the back of your card to check if pending deposits are showing in their system before they appear as available in your balance. Sometimes they can see it's coming before you can.

I had this happen in January - got approved on a Thursday with payment date for Friday, didnt see my $$ until Tuesday the next week! The weekend defintely delays everything with PA UC and the stupid Money Network card. wish they still did direct deposit like other states!!

If you're tired of dealing with these delays, I highly recommend using Claimyr to get through to an actual PA UC rep. I was in a similar situation - approved but no money showing up - and I was going crazy trying to get answers! Kept getting busy signals for days. Found this service at claimyr.com that got me connected to a UC agent in under 15 minutes. They have a video demo showing how it works: https://youtu.be/CEPETxZdo9E?si=WL1ZzVZWG3KiHrg2 The rep I spoke with was able to tell me exactly when my money would hit my card and even expedited my payment. Worth it if you're frustrated with trying to reach someone.

EVERYBODY LISTEN UP!!!! The PAT unemployment system is DELIBERATELY slow with payments to save the state money!!! They make us wait on purpose - each day they hold our money they earn interest on it. I worked in government and know how this works. The "2-3 business day" excuse is just that - AN EXCUSE!!!

btw did u have to do the waiting week? or was this ur first payment?

Just to give you an update: I checked the PA UC processing schedule and if your payment date is 3/1, that means the file was sent to Money Network today (2/29). Money Network typically processes their files overnight, so there's a small chance you could see it tomorrow afternoon, but Monday is more realistic due to their internal processing times.
