PA UC weekly claim status says 'in progress' - when will I get paid?

'In progress' is actually a good sign! It means your claim is moving through their system. My first payment came about 3 days after my status changed to 'in progress' back in April 2025. Make sure your direct deposit info is correct or that you've activated your Money Network card. The first payment sometimes takes longer - up to 3 weeks from initial filing - but after that, weekly claims should process faster as long as you don't have any open issues.

mines said in progress for 2 weeks then randomly switched to disqualified without any explanation!! hope urs goes better

In progress definitely means they're processing your payment! But the timeframe can vary a LOT depending on whether this is your first payment or not. First payments typically take 2-3 weeks from initial application, so you're right in that window. If this is a continuing claim, it should only take 2-3 business days to change from "in progress" to paid. One thing to check - go to "View Payments" in your dashboard and see if there's any payment issue listed. Sometimes there are verification requirements that don't show up clearly in the main view. Also, if it stays "in progress" for more than 5 business days, it might indicate there's an issue they're reviewing. In that case, you'll need to contact them.

When mine said in progress it was actually getting processed and I got my money 2 days later. But my neighbor had to wait like 10 days once because they had to verify her identity or something. Do you have the Money Network card or direct deposit? Sometimes the card takes longer to update even after they send the money.

"In progress" is UC's way of saying your payment is being processed but hasn't been released yet. Here's what to expect: 1. First-time claims: Initial payments typically take 2-3 weeks from application date, sometimes longer if there are identity verification requirements 2. Regular weekly claims: Usually 2-4 business days from when you file your weekly certification 3. Status progression: The normal flow is Pending → In Progress → Paid Since you filed on August 27th and it's now showing "in progress" for all weeks, that suggests they've completed their initial review and are preparing payment. This is a good sign! However, if you don't see payment within 5 business days, there could be an unannounced issue. If it doesn't change to "paid" by next week, you'll need to contact them directly. The phone lines are notoriously busy, especially Monday mornings and Friday afternoons.

If you need to reach someone at PA UC and are tired of getting busy signals, try Claimyr.com - it helped me get through when I was in a similar situation with an "in progress" claim that wasn't moving. They connected me to a live agent in about 20 minutes after I had been trying for days on my own. They have a video showing how it works: https://youtu.be/CEPETxZdo9E?si=WL1ZzVZWG3KiHrg2. It was definitely worth it to finally get answers about my claim status.

Any updates? Did your payment status change from "in progress" yet?

FOR EVERYONE HAVING THIS PROBLEM: "In progress" actually means DIFFERENT THINGS depending on if it's your FIRST claim or not!!! I spent 2 hours with an agent on the phone yesterday and they told me: - For FIRST TIME claims: "in progress" means they're still reviewing your claim and could take 2-4 WEEKS (not days!!) - For CONTINUING claims: "in progress" means payment is being processed and should take 2-3 DAYS UC really needs to make this clearer!!! I was waiting and panicking for nothing.

Glad to hear your payment came through! For future reference, here's a tip: the UC payment processing runs in batches at specific times, so status updates and payments follow this schedule: - Weekly certifications filed on Sunday-Monday: typically process by Wednesday-Thursday - Certifications filed Tuesday-Wednesday: typically process by Friday-Saturday - Certifications filed Thursday-Saturday: typically process by Monday-Tuesday And there's always a delay between when UC releases the payment and when it shows up on your Money Network card or bank account (usually 1-2 business days). That's why your online status might still say "in progress" even after the money has been sent.
