A MESSAGE FROM PRESIDENT ED THOMPSON
If you haven’t already done so please take a moment to register as a Local 776 member or retiree.
Governor Tom Wolf has ordered all non life-sustaining businesses closed across the Commonwealth. Many hard-working men and women, often in hourly wage jobs, in retail, services, and entertainment industries, along with many more are facing economic uncertainty in the face of this public health crisis. The Office of Unemployment Compensation have issued some adjustments to accommodate the situation:
(NEW)The Waiting Week is suspended. Previously, claimants were not eligible for benefits during their first week of unemployment (the “waiting week.”) This has been suspended; eligible claimants may receive benefits for the first week that they are unemployed
(NEW)Work Search and Work Registration requirements are temporarily waived for all UC claimants. Claimants are not required to prove they have applied or searched for a new job to maintain their UC benefits. Claimants are also not required to register with www.PACareerLink.gov.
