PA UC payment shows 'paid' in portal but nothing on Money Network card - what gives?

give it till tmrw morning... sometimes takes an extra day. system says paid but banks take time to process

This actually happens fairly frequently. The UC system marks payments as 'paid' when they're authorized, but the transfer to your Money Network card isn't instantaneous. Several factors can affect the timing: 1. If you filed later in the week than usual 2. Bank holidays (even if they're not PA state holidays) 3. Regular Money Network processing delays 4. System maintenance issues In my experience, even when it says 'paid,' it can take 1-3 business days to appear on your card. If it doesn't show up by Thursday afternoon, that's when I'd start getting concerned and contact them.

SAME THING IS HAPPENING TO ME RIGHT NOW!! Filed on Sunday, says paid on Monday, it's Tuesday and NOTHING on my card! First time this has happened in my 5 weeks claiming. The previous times money was there same day it said 'paid'!!! Makes me so NERVOUS!

If it still doesn't show up by tomorrow, you might want to try calling PA UC to make sure there's not an issue with your card or account. I had a similar problem last month and it turned out my card had been flagged for verification (no idea why). I used Claimyr to get through to an agent quickly - they connected me in about 15 minutes when I had been trying for days before. You can check them out at claimyr.com - there's a video demo at https://youtu.be/CEPETxZdo9E?si=WL1ZzVZWG3KiHrg2 showing how it works. The agent was able to fix whatever flag was on my account and the money showed up the next day after I called.

could be a Money Network issue not a PA UC issue. have u tried calling the number on back of ur card? sometimes they have separate system issues

This is actually a common occurrence with PA UC payments. The system marks claims as "paid" when they've been authorized in their system, but there's usually a processing time before funds transfer to Money Network cards. Here's the typical process: 1. Claim filed and processed (shows as "paid" in portal) 2. Funds are released from UC Treasury account 3. ACH transfer occurs to Money Network 4. Money Network processes the payment to your card Steps 2-4 usually take 1-2 business days but can take up to 3 business days. If you filed on Sunday and it shows paid on Monday, I'd expect the funds to appear Wednesday at the latest. If you don't see it by Thursday morning, then you should contact both Money Network (to ensure there's no hold on your card) and PA UC (to verify the payment was actually released). One thing to check: log into your Money Network account online (not just checking the balance) and look for any pending transactions. Sometimes they show there before they're available in your balance.

JUST AN UPDATE - my money finally showed up this morning!!! So took an extra day this time for whatever reason. Hope yours comes through too OP!!

You know what I wonder? If it has anything to do with the new fiscal quarter starting? I remember last April there were weird delays too when the new budget year started. My brother-in-law works for the state (not UC dept) and says sometimes financial systems get wonky during transition periods. Just a theory.

UPDATE: My payment just posted to my Money Network card this morning! Exactly 48 hours after it showed 'paid' in the portal. Thanks everyone for keeping me sane and preventing a panic attack! For anyone else seeing this post with the same issue - just wait a couple days before worrying.
