PA UC payment delay this week - not receiving Monday evening deposit as usual

Same thing happening to me!!! I always get paid by Monday 5pm, now it's already Tuesday and NOTHING. The PA UC website says my payment was processed but my Money Network card isn't showing it. Getting really stressed because I have autopay bills coming out tomorrow!

my sister said theres like a systemwide thing going on, she called and they told her everyones payments r running 24-48 hrs behind this week

This is a fairly common occurrence with PA UC deposits, especially at quarter changes or when they're doing system updates. Don't panic yet. If your claim portal shows the payment was issued, you're fine. The Money Network card system sometimes has delays in posting deposits. I've experienced this several times during my benefit year. If you're concerned, try these steps: 1. Check your payment history in the UC portal to confirm status is "paid" 2. Verify your payment method hasn't changed 3. Check if there are any new notices in your dashboard 4. Wait until end of business Wednesday before getting too concerned If Wednesday comes and still no payment, then you should try contacting them directly.

I just went through the EXACT same thing last month. The system is GARBAGE. My payment was 3 days late for no reason at all. I called 47 times (not exaggerating) and couldn't get through to anyone. When payment finally hit I got ZERO explanation. The UC system clearly doesn't care that we have bills to pay and can't just sit around waiting for THEIR mistakes to be fixed. What if your landlord was about to evict you? What if your utilities were getting shut off? They don't care!!!!!

After dealing with constant payment delays and not being able to reach anyone at PA UC for weeks, I found a service called Claimyr that actually got me through to a live person at unemployment. You can check it out at claimyr.com - they have a video demo at https://youtu.be/CEPETxZdo9E?si=WL1ZzVZWG3KiHrg2 showing how it works. Saved me so much frustration when I had a delayed payment and needed to find out why. The agent told me there was a processing flag on my account that needed to be cleared, and they fixed it while I was on the phone.

UPDATE: Just checked my Money Network card and my payment finally posted! Looks like there was just a delay in the system. For those still waiting, it seems they're slowly processing the backlog. My payment is typically Monday evening, posted Wednesday 2:30am.

For anyone still having issues, here's what I've learned from past payment delays: 1. PA UC typically processes claims in batches. If there's a delay with one batch, it affects everyone in that batch. 2. System maintenance often happens early in the month and can cause 1-3 day delays. 3. If your payment history shows "paid" but you haven't received funds after 3 business days, that's when you should definitely contact UC. 4. Always keep screenshots of your payment history page showing the payment was processed as evidence if there's a dispute. 5. Banking holidays can affect deposit timing (this week had none though). Glad to hear most people's payments are starting to come through now!

Mine came through too! Weird though, my roommate who also gets UC got his on the normal schedule Monday. Wonder why some people were affected and others weren't?
