Persistently high unemployment rates and the resultant surge in claims for unemployment compensation across the nation are in the news almost daily. What are not as well known are details about the extent of unemployment compensation benefits that are available in Pennsylvania.
This article will discuss the coverage duration of basic claims for benefits and also of the various forms of extended benefits that have been provided during the current recession, including those provided in federal stimulus funding. It will not discuss the issues involved when claims are denied or when an employer appeals an award of benefits. Legal help dealing with those issues is available for low income claimants at Philadelphia Legal Assistance, which can be contacted at 215-981-3800.
