PA UC payment reversed on Monday - will normal Tuesday payment be affected?

same thing happened to me!!!! money showed up at like 9am and then POOF gone by noon. wtf is going on with the UC system?? i called the number on my card thinking maybe it was fraud but couldnt get thru to anyone

At least I'm not alone! Did you try calling UC directly? I'm wondering if it's a system-wide issue or just affecting a few of us.

This happens sometimes when their payment processing system runs a test batch accidentally. I've seen it before around holidays or system maintenance periods. In almost all cases, your regular payment should still process on the normal schedule tomorrow. The reversed payment was likely just a system error that they caught and corrected.

u sure about that??? cuz i'm freaking out. rent is due and i cant affort any delays!!!!

Yep saw the same thing! Money there then gone. Weird.

I worked in banking for years before getting laid off, and this is actually common with ACH payment systems. What you saw was likely a pre-authorization that shouldn't have been visible to cardholders. The PA UC system probably has a payment batch that starts processing on Monday but doesn't finalize until Tuesday. Someone probably forgot to disable the visibility of the pending transactions to cardholders. Your regular Tuesday payment should still arrive as scheduled.

Thank you for explaining! That makes so much sense. I'll try not to panic until tomorrow then. It just threw me off completely seeing money appear and disappear like that.

This happened to me once back in October. It was some system glitch. Payment showed up the next day like normal. Don't worry too much!

THEY ALWAYS DO THIS CRAP TO US! The UC system is DELIBERATELY messing with our payments to make us panic. I bet they're earning interest on our money for that extra day. This is the THIRD time I've seen weird payment issues this year. The whole system is broken and they don't care because it's not THEIR rent money on the line.

It's actually not deliberate - payment systems are complex and sometimes glitches happen. The amount of interest they would earn on a one-day float would be so minimal it wouldn't be worth the programming effort to create such a scheme. It's just a technical error.

After trying to call PA UC for three days straight about a similar issue last month (payment showed pending then disappeared), I finally used a service called Claimyr to get through to an agent. No more busy signals or waiting for callbacks that never came. The agent explained it was a system-wide processing issue that affected thousands of accounts. You can see how it works at claimyr.com or watch their demo at https://youtu.be/CEPETxZdo9E?si=WL1ZzVZWG3KiHrg2 - saved me hours of frustration. My regular payment came through the next day as scheduled.

does that thing actually work?? i tried calling like 27 times today and couldn't get through

It worked for me after I'd wasted almost two full days trying to get through. Worth it just to get confirmation about what was happening with my claim.

Anyone else get their normal payment today? Mine just hit about an hour ago, regular amount.

YES! Mine just came through too - normal Tuesday deposit. So relieved! Seems like yesterday was just a glitch like everyone said.

got mine 2. thank god!!!

Glad everyone got their payments! For future reference, if you ever see this happen again, PA UC actually posts system issues on their website under the

That's really helpful advice - I never think to check there. I'll bookmark that page for the future. Thanks for all your help explaining what happened!

This exact same thing happened to my sister last month! She panicked so hard when the money vanished, but it turned out to be exactly what Miguel explained - some kind of pre-authorization glitch in their system. Her regular payment came through the next day right on schedule. It's definitely scary when you're counting on that money for bills, but from what I've seen in this community, the weird Monday deposits that disappear are almost always just technical hiccups and don't affect your actual Tuesday payment.
