PA UC payment shows amount but no transaction number - when will I get paid?

Congrats on getting approved! The transaction number typically shows up when they actually process the payment, not just when they approve your claim. In my experience, if you got approved on Friday, the transaction number will probably show up Monday or Tuesday, and then funds should be on your card 1-2 business days after that. So you're likely looking at Wednesday or Thursday for the money to be available.

same thing happend to me last month!! approved on a friday, no transaction # till tuesday morning, got my $$ on thursday. your good!!

You should call and check!!! I had a similar situation in March and thought everything was fine but turns out they still had a HOLD on my account even though it showed amounts!!! I waited TWO WEEKS thinking money was coming and it NEVER DID until I called!!!

I've been through this exact situation. When you see payment amounts but no transaction number, it means they've calculated what you're eligible for but haven't released the payment yet. PA UC typically processes the actual payments in batches on business days. Since your approval happened Friday afternoon, the payment processing likely won't happen until Monday. You should see a transaction number appear Monday or Tuesday, and then funds will be available on your Money Network card 1-2 business days after that. So realistically, you're looking at Wednesday or Thursday for the money to be usable. If you don't see a transaction number by Tuesday afternoon, that's when I'd start getting concerned. But right now everything sounds normal for a Friday approval.

I had a really hard time getting through to PA UC about a payment issue last month. Kept calling the 888 number and just got busy signals for days. Someone recommended I try Claimyr (claimyr.com) and it actually worked - got through to an agent in about 20 minutes. They have a video showing how it works: https://youtu.be/CEPETxZdo9E?si=WL1ZzVZWG3KiHrg2 If you don't see your transaction number by Tuesday, might be worth checking out instead of stressing about it. The agent I spoke with was able to tell me exactly when my payment would process and what was causing the delay.

Here's the actual payment process timeline for PA UC: 1. Claim approval (what you've reached) 2. Payment calculation (the amounts you're seeing) 3. Payment authorization (when transaction # appears) 4. Payment processing (1-2 business days) 5. Fund availability on Money Network card Since your approval happened on Friday, the authorization (step 3) will likely happen Monday. Keep in mind that PA UC doesn't process payments on weekends. You're currently at step 2, which is normal for a Friday approval. Just keep checking your portal daily, and you should see progress by Tuesday at the latest.

my brother got aproved on a friday too and his money didnt show up until thursday morning so just wait it out

UPDATE: You guys were right! Just checked this morning (Monday) and now I see a transaction number has appeared! The payment status says "paid" with today's date. So relieved! Thanks everyone for the help and reassurance.

Congrats on getting the transaction number! That's exactly how it worked for me too - approved Friday, transaction number Monday morning. Just a heads up that when the money hits your Money Network card, you might want to check if there are any ATM fees at your usual locations. Some people don't realize the card has specific fee-free ATM networks. Also, if you need to make a large purchase or pay rent, you can usually do a cash advance at certain banks or use it for direct payments. The money should be available by Wednesday at the latest!
