PA UC payment delayed despite agent promise - anyone else have payment scheduled then nothing arrives?

Same thing happened to me back in January! They kept saying "it'll be there tomorrow" for THREE WEEKS straight. What finally worked was contacting my state rep's office. They have special contacts at UC who can actually fix things. I got my $2,400 in back payments two days after my state rep's office made a call. Definitely worth trying!

The system is totally broken right now. My claim got stuck in the same loop for 7 weeks. The website showed "payment issued" but NOTHING ever hit my account. Turns out there was an "open issue" that nobody bothered to tell me about!!! The agents on the phone just read from scripts and have NO IDEA what's actually happening with your claim. Don't trust what they say about "tomorrow" - they just want to end the call.

Check your payment method on your UC account. I had a similar issue and discovered the system had randomly switched from direct deposit to debit card without notifying me! So payments were going to a card I never received. Log into your dashboard, go to "View/Manage Account Information" and then "Payment Information" to verify.

what time did u talk to them? if it was after like 3pm then it def won't process til tomorrow and then takes another day to actually hit ur card. their system is slow af

I struggled with this EXACT same situation last month! Called every day for two weeks, and every agent gave me a different story about when my payment would arrive. NONE of them were telling the truth. I was getting desperate after missing rent. I finally got through to someone who could actually help by using Claimyr (claimyr.com). They got me connected to a UC rep in about 20 minutes when I'd been trying for DAYS on my own. The agent they connected me with actually looked into my claim deeply and found that my identity verification hadn't been properly processed even though the website showed everything was fine. Got all my back payments 3 days later. They have a video showing how it works: https://youtu.be/CEPETxZdo9E?si=WL1ZzVZWG3KiHrg2

There's actually a specific code that shows up in the system when payments are truly processed versus just "approved." Most tier 1 agents don't know to check this or don't have access to see it. Next time you call, specifically ask if your payment has a "TPS clearance code" (Transaction Processing System). If they say no or don't know what you're talking about, ask to speak with a claims examiner or supervisor who can check the actual payment status in the treasury system. Regular agents only see what you see on the portal basically.

sometimes u gota wait like 3-4 business days after they say its coming. weekends dont count. happened to me to

After reading through this thread, it sounds like you have an unresolved issue with your claim that regular agents aren't seeing or aren't telling you about. Your best options are: 1. Contact your state representative's office as mentioned above 2. Use a service like Claimyr to get connected to a higher-tier agent who can see what's really happening 3. Request to speak to a claims examiner specifically (not just any agent) when you call 4. Check for any correspondence in your UC portal that might indicate an issue (sometimes they send notices that don't trigger email alerts) Don't wait for the promised payment that might never come - be proactive and escalate this now, especially with bills coming due.
