@suchta46 they posted today. that’s good. That means they are processing and it should change to paid soon!  

Answer 4

No, there's a hold on ours also

Nope - Applied first thing in the morning on 5/11 - still on hold.  

Answer 6

Is PUA in addition to UI? I am scared to apply. I don’t want it to impact what little UI I am currently getting.  

Comments

Kaylaa McGinnis no it’s different

---

@kruse791 should I apply if I was laid off due to the pandemic ?  

---

Kaylaa McGinnis no stay with ui the other one is for self employed people

---

@kruse791 ok gotcha. I was wondering the difference.  

---

Kaylaa McGinnis they should have been adding the additional 600 a week to your regular unemployment. With you doing nothing extra. They did that for my daughter.  

---

@palmetto352 I’ll have to check. Thank you.  

---

Kaylaa McGinnis one of the ways you qualify for PUA is by being denied normal UI

Answer 7

What's PUA?

@viewer15 unemployment for self employed people

---

@aculeus ahhh. Thanks!  

---

@viewer15 also for people who did not qualify for regular unemployment. Like my daughter who was hired February for the YMCA. She qualifies too.  

---

@palmetto352 I was gonna say that too! I work at the YMCA as well but was denied normal unemployment!  

---

@fennec oh ok didn’t realize

---

@fennec did you file for PUA. ? You will get that. My daughter just got her 1st pay. They backed paid her.  

---

@aculeus yes it is very confusing. I am an accountant so I kind of understand it better.  

---

@palmetto352 yes I did! I just got paid today and got backdated! So thankful!  

Answer 8

My file says paid with a date of 5/25. Back paid from 3/15.

@abstract same here

---

@abstract have you actually gotten the money? Mine just switched to paid today but was assuming it was going to be 24 hours till funds are in my account?  

---

@fennec not yet. With the holiday weekend I expect it to be in my chase account on Tuesday. But my total balance went down by the amount sent. So I know its in transit.  

---

@abstract my total balance went down as well. Hoping I have it as well by Tuesday!  

Answer 9

5/25 is the date listed for my husband

Answer 10

I applied the first day and still haven’t received a thing

Answer 11

Mine says Monday and I applied the first day

Answer 12

I just got notice to certify backdated weeks but I haven’t received anything yet  

Answer 13

My daughter was on hold yesterday today it is pending. Backdated March 13.  

Answer 14

Nope. Mine says payment hold, and then got an email this morning saying to check my inbox bc I need to address a document and there was nothing there. And can’t get through on the phone. So I gave up  

Comments

@dropper51379 does it still say payment hold? Mine did until today when I checked it said paid. So I’m hoping money is there tomorrow bc usually it takes 24 hours. Check again tomorrow.  

---

@fennec yes it still says payment hold. I’m just so confused by the email I got.  

---

@dropper51379 hmm ya I’m not sure. Mind said that for a couple days and then today it switched to paid. Still waiting on the funds though. I think it’s just taking them forever to process. Hopefully by monday you will have it processed!  

---

Yeah I applied the very first day we were able to and mine has said Payment hold for days now. Ugh. Hoping for the best! Fill me in if you get a deposit!  

Answer 15

Actually talked to someone from there (ides/pua) on the phone . took me FOREVER to speak to an actual person . they said Tuesday so  

Answer 16

Wanted to updated that I finally received my payments! It took about 10 days from when I certified though. It was processing for a while, then payment hold, then said paid and the day after I got the money. I think they are just really backed up.  

Comments

@fennec awesome! Good to hear  

Answer 17

Did anyone else get a pending issue alert? I’m note sure if that means I have to turn something in?  

Comments

@opal5 I have 4 pending issues. but when you go on to see them there’s nothing there! Who freaking knows at this point!
