PA UC payment deposits delayed until Thursday this week? Normal Tuesday deposits missing
I usually get my PA unemployment payment deposited on Tuesday morning like clockwork, but nothing showed up in my account today. Checked the portal and it says my weekly claim was processed and payment issued, but no money in my bank yet. Anyone else experiencing delays this week? I'm wondering if there's some kind of holiday or system issue causing deposits to hit on Thursday instead. Really need this money for bills due tomorrow!

•Glad I'm not the only one! Did you check your payment status on the UC portal? Mine says 'payment issued' but with no transaction number yet.

There's a scheduled maintenance on the PA Treasury system that started last night. It was announced on the UC dashboard last week but easy to miss. All direct deposits scheduled for Tuesday are delayed 24-48 hours. Payments should post by Thursday morning at the latest. This doesn't affect Money Network card payments though, only direct bank deposits.

I just checked my benefit payment status and mine says "payment in progress" but hasn't hit my account either. Does anyone know if I can still expect it Thursday even though I filed late Sunday night? Or will mine be even later?

•As long as you filed before midnight Sunday, your payment should still arrive with everyone else's on Thursday. The "payment in progress" status is normal during this maintenance period.

Had this EXACT SAME ISSUE!! No deposit, no explanation, nothing! Called the UC service number for 2 HOURS straight and kept getting busy signals. The PA UC system is absolutely WORTHLESS when you need information. They never bother to CLEARLY communicate these changes!!

•If you're having trouble reaching a PA UC representative, I found a service called Claimyr that really helped me get through when I had a similar issue last month. It basically waits on hold for you and calls when an agent is available. Their website is claimyr.com and they have a video that shows how it works: https://youtu.be/CEPETxZdo9E?si=WL1ZzVZWG3KiHrg2. Saved me hours of frustration when I needed to fix a payment issue.

•Thanks I'll check it out! At this point I'd try ANYTHING to get through to a real person!

This happened back in January too. I remember because my car payment was due and I had to call and explain the delay. PA Treasury does these maintenance periods every few months. My roommate got her deposit already though - she has the Money Network card instead of direct deposit.

•Thanks for sharing that. Maybe I should switch to the Money Network card if this is going to be a regular thing. Do you know if there's a way to see when these maintenance periods are scheduled in advance?

Just got off the phone with UC (finally!). They confirmed it's a Treasury processing delay affecting all direct deposits that would normally go out Tuesday. Everything should be deposited by Thursday morning. The rep also mentioned that there will be a similar maintenance period in July, so mark your calendars. Hope this helps!
