What does 'In Progress' status under pay date mean on PA UC dashboard?

in progress means ur payment is being processed by the system. usually takes 2-3 business days to change to a real date. then another day or 2 for the money to hit ur account. as long as u dont have any issues with ur claim u should be fine

The 'In Progress' status is normal for new claims. It means your payment is being processed in the system. Since you filed on Sunday, it typically takes 2-3 business days for the status to change to an actual payment date. Once it shows a payment date, funds are usually deposited to your Money Network card or direct deposit account within 1-2 business days after that date. A few things to keep in mind: - First payments sometimes take longer than subsequent ones - If you have any open issues, this could delay payment - If nothing changes after 4-5 business days, you may want to contact PA UC to check

I see this question a lot. 'In Progress' just means they've approved your weekly certification and are processing the payment. It's a good sign! Your payment is queued up in their system. Usually takes 2-3 business days to process, then 1-2 more days to hit your account. Direct deposit is typically faster than the Money Network card, in my experience. If you filed on Sunday, you should see a payment date by Wednesday or Thursday, and money in your account by Friday most likely. If you don't see any movement by Friday, then you might want to call to check if there are any issues.

If you're having trouble reaching someone at PA UC about your 'In Progress' payment status, I highly recommend using Claimyr. I was in the same situation last month - payment stuck in progress for days and couldn't get through on the phone. Used Claimyr and got a callback from a UC rep within an hour! They have a video that shows how it works: https://youtu.be/CEPETxZdo9E?si=WL1ZzVZWG3KiHrg2 Their website (claimyr.com) was super easy to use. The rep was able to see that my payment was actually held up due to an identity verification flag that didn't show on my dashboard. Got it resolved that same day and payment came through 2 days later.

In progress means different things dpending on ur situation. when I had that last month it was bcuz they were reviewing my job search activities. turned out I didn't enter enough details about the jobs I applied to. had to verify some stuff then it went through. but my sister had the same thing and hers was just normal processing. maybe check if u have any open issues?? click on the issues tab in ur dashboard

OK SO I WENT THROUGH THIS LAST MONTH AND HERE'S WHAT THEY DON'T TELL YOU: "In Progress" can mean ANYTHING from normal processing to some hidden "issue" they don't bother telling you about! The system is DESIGNED to be confusing! Mine said "In Progress" for 2 weeks and I had to call 42 TIMES before getting through, only to find out they had some question about my previous employer that NEVER showed up on my dashboard! The PA UC system is BROKEN and they keep it that way ON PURPOSE to discourage people from collecting what they're owed!!! My advice: document EVERYTHING, keep calling, and don't trust the online system to tell you what's really happening with your claim!!!

when I filed last year my first payment had the in progress thing too. I got nervous like you but then it changed to an actual date after about 3 days. then the money came the next day. don't worry too much unless it stays that way for more than a week

Just wanted to add - if you're new to UC, make sure you've completed ALL the required steps for your claim. Sometimes payments show "In Progress" when you still need to: 1. Verify identity through ID.me (if prompted) 2. Complete your work search activities 3. Register with PA CareerLink 4. Resolve any outstanding questionnaires Sometimes these requirements aren't super clear on the dashboard. But your case sounds like normal processing since you mentioned your claim was already approved.
