PA UC weekly certifications showing 'in progress' but claim still under review - what do statuses mean?

the in progress is usually a good sign. it means they got ur weekly cert and its being processed. not applicable for week 1 could be bc of the waiting week, u dont get paid for the 1st week in PA. under review just means they havent made final determination on ur claim yet. u can still get paid for weeks while claim is under review IF theres no open issues

In' progress generally means your weekly certifications are being processed, which is a positive sign. 'The not' applicable for week one is normal - Pennsylvania has a waiting week requirement, so you'don t receive benefits for your first week of unemployment. This is standard procedure. As for your claim 'being under' review, this means'they re still verifying your eligibility. The important distinction is that the overall claim (status under) review and the payment status for individual ('weeks in') progress are two separate things. You can sometimes receive payments for weekly certifications even while your claim is under review, assuming there are no specific issues with your claim that would prevent payment. I would continue filing your weekly certifications on time. If you'don t receive payment within 5-7 business days of seeing 'the in' progress status, there might be an underlying issue that needsaddressing.

Ugh the waiting game is THE WORST! I had the exact same thing happen last month - all those statuses that don't make any sense and no clear explanation anywhere on the website. PA unemployment system is so frustrating!!!

Let me clarify what these different statuses actually mean: 1. **Claim Under Review** - Your overall unemployment claim eligibility is still being determined. This is regarding whether you qualify for benefits at all. 2. **Weekly Certification Status**: - **In Progress** - Your weekly certification has been received and is being processed for payment - **Not Applicable** - This typically refers to your waiting week (first week of unemployment in PA), which is not payable Pennsylvania's system can pay you for weeks certified while your claim is under review IF: - There are no specific issues with your eligibility - Your employer doesn't contest your claim - Your identity has been verified through ID.me Your January 9th date is likely when they expect to complete the review of your claim. Some people receive payments before final determination, while others must wait until the review is complete. Check your dashboard for any "open issues" - if you don't see any, that increases your chances of being paid while under review.

I went through this EXACT THING in November! The first week will always be "not applicable" because that's the waiting week. The "in progress" for weeks 2 and 3 is actually a GOOD sign - it means your certifications were accepted and are being processed. BUT here's the annoying part - even though they SAY under review until the 9th, mine actually got approved way earlier than the date they gave me. The PA UC system always over-estimates these dates. I got my first payment about 10 days after filing even though they said my claim would be under review for 3 weeks!

If you're waiting on claim approval and need to speak with an actual human at PA UC, I was in the same boat last month and was going CRAZY trying to get through on the phone. Someone here recommended Claimyr (claimyr.com) and it actually worked - they got me connected with a UC rep in about 20 minutes when I had been trying for days. There's a video showing how it works: https://youtu.be/CEPETxZdo9E?si=WL1ZzVZWG3KiHrg2. The rep was able to tell me exactly why my claim was under review and gave me an ETA for payment. Way better than stressing about what all these statuses mean.

in progress dosent mean ur gettin paid!! mine was stuck on in progress for over a month and i had to call a million times b4 they fixed it. the system is broken dont trust the status

To clarify about the payment timeline: If everything goes smoothly, payments typically hit your Money Network card or direct deposit 2-3 business days after showing 'in progress.' However, if there are verification issues or it's your first payment, it can take 5-7 business days. If you don't see payment by the end of next week, I'd recommend trying to contact UC for clarification. Also, keep fulfilling your weekly work search requirements (applying to at least 2 jobs each week and completing 1 work search activity) while you wait - that's required regardless of your claim status.
