PA UC payment 'in progress' but no actual pay date - normal wait time?

This is totally normal. The "in progress" status usually means they've processed your payment but it's still in their system queue. For me it always changed to an actual date within 48 hours, then took another 2-3 business days for the money to hit my Money Network card. Don't worry!

It depends on when your claim was approved. If it was approved after the weekly payment processing cycle (which usually runs Tuesday night), it'll show "in progress" until the next cycle. I've seen it take anywhere from 1-3 business days to change from "in progress" to an actual pay date. Once you have a pay date, add 2 business days for direct deposit or 3-4 days for the Money Network card to be loaded.

same thing happend to me last month n i got so worried!! but the date showed up after like 2 days and money came 3 days after that. ur good!!

The PA UC payment system is RIDICULOUS! Even after approval they make you wait and stress about when money will actually arrive. I was at "in progress" for 6 DAYS before getting a date, then another 4 days before money appeared. The whole system is designed to torture people who are already struggling!

If you're worried about the timing and need to talk to someone, I was in a similar situation last month. I used this service called Claimyr (claimyr.com) to get through to an actual PA UC agent on the phone instead of dealing with busy signals all day. There's a video that shows how it works: https://youtu.be/CEPETxZdo9E?si=WL1ZzVZWG3KiHrg2. The agent I spoke with confirmed my payment was in process and gave me the exact date it would hit my account. Saved me a lot of stress!

I actually went thru this exact thing in January! My claim was approved on a Wednesday, showed "in progress" until Friday afternoon, then changed to a pay date of the following Tuesday. Money was in my account Wednesday morning. So about a week total from approval to money. Just keep checking your dashboard each morning - it'll update!

did u file ur weekly claim yet? sometimes u need 2 file the weekly certification b4 theyll give u a payment date even if ur approved

To clarify the payment timeline for everyone: 1. Weekly certification filing (Sunday-Friday) 2. Claim processing (1-2 business days) 3. Status changes to "in progress" (payment is being processed) 4. Pay date assigned (1-3 business days after "in progress") 5. Funds available (2-3 business days after pay date for direct deposit; 3-4 days for Money Network card) So from weekly certification to money in your account typically takes 5-10 calendar days total, depending on weekends and which payment method you've selected. The system runs major payment batches on Tuesday and Thursday nights, which can affect timing as well.

Hey Brian! I just went through this exact same situation about 3 weeks ago. My claim was approved on a Wednesday and stayed "in progress" until Friday evening, then got assigned a payment date for the following Tuesday. The money hit my direct deposit account on Thursday morning. So yeah, totally normal! The "in progress" status basically means your payment is queued up in their system but hasn't been assigned to a specific batch yet. Since you got approved last week, you should definitely see movement by early next week. Hang in there - the hardest part (getting approved) is behind you!

I'm going through the exact same thing right now! My claim got approved on Friday and it's been showing "in progress" since then. Reading through everyone's experiences here is really helpful - sounds like 1-3 business days is totally normal for it to change from "in progress" to an actual payment date. I'm trying not to stress about it but it's hard when you're waiting for that money to come through. Thanks to everyone who shared their timelines, it really helps to know what to expect!

I'm dealing with this exact same situation right now! My claim was approved Tuesday and it's been stuck on "in progress" for the past two days. Reading through everyone's experiences here is such a relief - I was starting to worry something went wrong with my approval. It sounds like 1-3 business days from "in progress" to getting an actual payment date is completely normal. @Aliyah Debovski your breakdown of the timeline was super helpful! I feel much better knowing this is just part of their standard processing cycle. Hopefully both Brian and I see our payment dates update by early next week. The waiting game is definitely stressful when you're depending on these funds!

I'm currently experiencing this exact same situation! My claim was approved on Thursday and it's been showing "in progress" since Friday morning. Reading through everyone's experiences here has been incredibly helpful and reassuring - I was starting to get worried that something might be wrong with my approval. It's clear from all the responses that 1-3 business days from "in progress" to an actual payment date is completely normal and part of their standard processing cycle. @Aliyah Debovski your detailed breakdown of the timeline was especially helpful in understanding what happens behind the scenes. It's definitely stressful when you're counting on these funds, but it sounds like we just need to be patient and let the system do its thing. Hopefully we all see our payment dates update early next week!

I'm going through the exact same thing right now! My claim was approved on Friday and it's been showing "in progress" since Saturday morning. I was getting really anxious about it, especially after dealing with an open issue for weeks before finally getting approved. Reading through everyone's experiences here has been such a huge relief - I had no idea this was just a normal part of the process. It sounds like the "in progress" status basically means we're in the payment queue waiting for the next processing cycle. @Aliyah Debovski your timeline breakdown was incredibly helpful in understanding what's happening behind the scenes! It's definitely still stressful when you're counting on the money for bills and expenses, but now I feel much better knowing this is standard and not a sign that something went wrong with my approval. Fingers crossed we all see our payment dates update in the next couple business days!

I'm dealing with this exact same situation right now! My claim was approved on Monday and it's been showing "in progress" since Tuesday. I was starting to get really worried that something went wrong, but reading through everyone's experiences here has been such a relief. It's amazing how many people are going through the same thing at the same time! The detailed timeline @Aliyah Debovski provided really helped me understand that this is just part of their normal processing cycle, not a sign that anything's wrong with our approvals. It's definitely nerve-wracking when you're counting on the money for rent and bills, but it sounds like we just need to be patient and wait for the next payment batch to process. From what everyone's shared, it looks like we should see our payment dates update within the next few business days. Thanks to everyone who shared their experiences - it really helps to know we're not alone in this waiting game!

I'm going through this exact same thing right now too! My claim was approved last Tuesday and it's been stuck on "in progress" since Wednesday. I was getting so anxious about it, especially since I have rent due next week. Reading through everyone's experiences here has been incredibly reassuring - I had no idea this was just standard processing time. It's wild how many of us are all experiencing this simultaneously! The timeline breakdown from @Aliyah Debovski really helped me understand this is just how their payment batching system works. Still stressful when you're depending on the funds, but now I know to expect the payment date to show up in the next business day or two rather than panicking that something went wrong with my approval. Thanks to everyone for sharing - it really helps to know we're all in the same boat waiting for the system to process!
