Just checking back - has your payment arrived yet? If it's been more than 5 business days, you should definitely try to contact the UC office as they may need to investigate or reissue the payment.
That's awesome news! So glad it worked out for you. 4 business days seems pretty typical for the first payment after an issue gets resolved. Hope the rest of your backpay comes through smoothly over the next few days. It's such a relief when you finally see that money hit your account after waiting for months!
Totally agree! I went through something similar earlier this year and that first deposit hitting after months of waiting was like Christmas morning. The stress of not knowing when it's coming while bills are piling up is the worst part. Glad everything worked out for you @Christopher Morgan!
Just wanted to add my experience for anyone else going through this - I had the exact same situation about 6 weeks ago. Issue count went to zero on a Monday, claim stayed "in progress" until Wednesday morning, then switched to approved and payment hit my account Thursday. The automatic processing really does work, but those 48 hours feel like forever when you're stressed about money. Hang in there everyone who's waiting - the system has definitely gotten more reliable this year!
Thanks for sharing your timeline Malik! It's so helpful to hear from people who've been through this recently. That Wednesday morning update seems to be pretty consistent based on what everyone's saying here. I'm on day 1 of waiting after my issues cleared, so knowing that Wednesday is when things typically flip to approved really helps manage expectations. Really appreciate you taking the time to share your experience for those of us still in the waiting phase!
Had this exact same situation happen to me back in January! My claim showed 0 issues on a Friday afternoon but stayed "in progress" all weekend. I was totally panicking because I needed the money for rent. Sure enough, Monday night the status flipped to approved and I had my payment by Wednesday. The automated processing really does work - it's just that the waiting feels endless when you're broke and stressed. Sean's update is perfect proof that patience pays off. For anyone else in this boat, try to distract yourself for those 48 hours instead of refreshing the page every 10 minutes like I did!
Wow, what a relief that you got it sorted out! I was getting anxious just reading about your situation. It's crazy how long these wage investigations can take - over 3 years is insane. At least now you know it's legitimate money and you don't have to worry about them clawing it back later. Thanks for updating us with the resolution, it's really helpful for anyone else who might face something similar. And good tip about that Claimyr service, I'm definitely bookmarking that for future reference!
Totally agree! I was stressed out just reading through this whole saga too. It's wild that PA UC takes over 3 years to complete wage investigations - makes you wonder how many other people are out there with money sitting in limbo that they don't even know about. Really appreciate @AstroAce sharing the full resolution and that Claimyr tip. Stories like this are exactly why this community is so valuable for navigating the UC maze!
This is such a great outcome! I've been following your story and I'm so glad you got it resolved. Three years for a wage investigation is absolutely ridiculous, but at least PA UC came through in the end. I had a similar situation last year where I got a random deposit, but mine was only about $200. I was too scared to call and just let it sit in my account for months until I finally worked up the courage. Turns out it was also legitimate backpay from an employer wage report that came in late. It's reassuring to know that these surprise payments are usually legit and not some system error that'll come back to haunt us later. Thanks for sharing your experience - it'll definitely help others who find themselves in the same confusing situation!
Just checked my payment history and my last 6 payments all hit within 2 days after processing. Wednesday is pretty realistic. But I'm curious how your issue got resolved? I'm dealing with an open issue right now and can't get any straight answers from anyone.
Congrats on getting your claim sorted out! That must be such a huge relief after a month of stress. From my experience, Wednesday is pretty standard for Money Network deposits when they process on Monday/Tuesday. One tip - if you haven't already, definitely download the Money Network app and turn on push notifications. I get alerts the moment my deposit hits, usually around 8-9 AM. It's way better than constantly checking your balance. Hope it comes through on time for your bills!
Thanks for the congrats and the app tip! I'm definitely downloading it right now. It's been such a stressful month not knowing when or if I'd ever see those payments. Really appreciate everyone sharing their experiences with the timing - makes me feel way more confident that Wednesday is realistic. The push notifications sound perfect so I don't have to keep obsessively checking my balance every hour!

Just wanted to follow up on this - I went through the exact same thing about 6 months ago! The bank verification issue is so frustrating because they really don't warn you about it ahead of time. In my case, it took exactly 6 business days from when my portal showed "paid by check" to when I actually received it in the mail. Since yours shows payment date as yesterday, you'll probably see it by early next week. One tip: after you get your first check and deposit it, wait about a week then try updating your direct deposit info again through the portal. Sometimes the system needs that first successful payment to "reset" whatever flagged your bank account initially. Worked for me and I've been getting direct deposits ever since. Hang in there - the check should arrive soon!

•Thanks for sharing your experience! It's reassuring to hear from someone who went through the exact same thing. 6 business days sounds pretty reasonable, and I'll definitely try the direct deposit reset trick after my first check clears. It's crazy how they don't explain any of this upfront - you'd think they'd at least mention the bank verification process when you're setting up your claim initially!
