That's great news! Most issues that people worry about end up resolving themselves. Glad it worked out smoothly for you.
my anxiety always gets the best of me with these things too lol. but really waiting week is waiting week, they dont pay you anyway so as long as you were honest youre good. keep up with the job search requirements thats the most important part or they will definitely deny benefits!!
omg same boat! been waiting since February!!!! they told me priority list in March and still nothing. this system is a joke
february?? thats crazy!! have u tried calling every single day? thats what i had to do
Update: I took several of your suggestions and finally got some movement! I started answering all calls (even blocked numbers) and yesterday an examiner called me. They needed some additional information about my separation from my employer. The examiner said they should be able to make a determination within 5-7 business days. Thanks for all the advice - especially about the blocked numbers!
Just to give you some peace of mind - PA UC has a financial determination timeline they have to follow even if there are mail delays. If your payment is shown as processed in the system, the money is allocated to you. Mail delays don't affect your eligibility or payment amount. If you haven't received it by Monday, I'd recommend calling the UC service center at 1-888-313-7284, but be prepared for long wait times. Monday mornings are especially busy, so Tuesday might be better if you can wait. When you do call, have your claim number and the last 4 digits of your SSN ready.
Thank you! My check actually arrived today (Saturday), which is weird because I don't normally get mail on weekends. But I'm relieved it came. I'm definitely going to set up direct deposit to avoid this stress in the future. Thanks everyone for your help!
anybody know if u can pick up the card in person somewhere? waiting for mail is killing me
UPDATE: I finally got my card today! Almost exactly 4 weeks after my first payment was issued. For anyone else waiting - hang in there. I did manage to reach someone at UC through the Claimyr service mentioned above, and they confirmed my card was in the system and had been mailed. I think the call might have helped because the card arrived 3 days later. Now I'm just relieved to finally have access to my benefits!

•Contact PA UC immediately to explain the situation. The sooner you correct this, the better. Bring documentation of all the work you've done and when you did it. If you self-report the error before they catch it, they're usually more understanding about honest mistakes. But don't delay - the longer this continues, the more serious any potential penalties could be.

Thanks everyone for the advice! I'm going to start reporting my 1099 work based on when I perform it, not when I get paid. I'll keep detailed records of hours, dates, and expected earnings so I can provide documentation if needed. Seems like the consensus is clear that PA wants work reported when performed, regardless of payment timing. I really appreciate all the help and personal experiences shared here!

•Good decision! Just remember that partial employment may still qualify you for partial UC benefits depending on how much you earn each week. As long as you report accurately, the system will calculate if you're eligible for a partial payment.
