UserInterviews - researcher not responding after meeting, any chance for payout?

Hey all, I had a pretty high value project on UserInterviews ($200+) which was to be paid out by the researcher directly, opposed to UserInterviews. My experience has been that these are often more of a hassle to receive payment for as your incentive relies on the researcher sending it, opposed to just marking the interview as completed and being paid instantly by UserInterviews.

I had a meeting with a researcher 2 weeks ago (this Friday will be 2 weeks). It all seemed to go well, after about a week I asked if there was any other information they needed from me to complete the task (a few other projects have had a post-call survey to be completed), no response. I sent another email yesterday (at the 11 day mark) to inquire about the payment since I never heard back from the first message.

UserInterviews requires at least 10 days before they look into any projects, but my question is:

TLDR: if the researcher does not pay you the incentive directly, will UserInterviews pay it? Or are you just out of luck? $200+ isn't a crazy amount, but it's quite a bit more than I'd like to just let disappear.
