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.
Due to Governor Wolf’s mandate ordering businesses to close there will be a huge spike in UC claims during this time. As a result it appears there will be a delay in the processing of claims. Any members having to apply do not delay in applying. The link to apply for benefits is: https://www.uc.pa.gov/unemployment-benefits/file/Pages/File%20an%20Initial%20Claim.aspx
The Unemployment Compensation Referees Office has stated that hearings that have been scheduled are being continued and future hearings are being scheduled as telephone hearings. If any members receive hearing notices for telephone hearings they should be aware that there are special regulations for telephone hearings that require any exhibits to be used during the hearing be submitted five (5) business days prior to the hearing. For example; if you have to submit a doctor’s note showing you can perform light duty work you will have to submit that five business days before the hearing. Therefore if a member receives a hearing notice for a telephone hearing, time is of the essence.
