How to File for Pennsylvania Unemployment

The state of Pennsylvania Unemployment Compensation benefits is available to those residents in the state of Pennsylvania who have found themselves recently unemployed. They are welcome to apply for PA Unemployment Compensation or temporary income for themselves and their family while they look for more gainful work or employment.

If you are a resident who would like to apply for these benefits, you must meet the following eligibility requirements as stated below:

· You must be able to find work that the state deems suitable.

· You must be registered for work with the state of Pennsylvania’s CareerLink.

· You should have gone past the threshold or minimal waiting period of one week.

· You should have filed an application for Unemployment Compensation benefits.

· You are unemployed through no fault of your own.

Assuming that you qualify, you will be sent a Notice of Financial Determination. This letter contains the information reported by your previous employers of your wage amounts and length of employment. Your eligibility is based on the figures and facts within this document. If you have found that there is information incorrect such as your social security number, you should report your findings immediately.

The information within the Notice of Financial Determination letter should contain the overall decision by the the State. If you are eligible for PA Unemployment Compensation benefits the date of your first payment will be available and the amount each check will be.

If you have dependent children or a spouse who isn’t able to work, you will receive an additional $5 weekly for each. But if you have more than one child all others will only bring $3 more to your check. You must be the chief supporter of the spouse and children in order for them to be included with your check payment balance.

You will receive your check in one of two forms of possible payment types:

1) you are welcome to have your checks sent to your bank account as a direct deposit or

2) you could have the funds sent to a debit card each payment date.

Within the contents of your Confirmation Letter, there is information available to help you complete the processing of your chosen payment type.

Your funds are paid out usually on a bi-weekly basis. Your next claim must take place when both of the weeks have ended and are ready to be claimed on the next check, between the Friday and Sunday of that week. This will reset your status and therefore your payment for the following payment period or next two weeks.
