PA Career Link Is Giving Unemployment Compensation Statewide

On July 28, 2022, the Pennsylvania Department of Labor and Industry (L&I) Secretary Jennifer Berrier announced in-person services for Unemployment Compensation (UC) claimants became available by appointment at all PA CareerLink centers statewide.

According to Pennsylvania L&I, 58 PA CareerLink centers will offer in-person services by appointment to assist claimants with their cases. The Unemployment Compensation allows Pennsylvanians and their families to stay financially stable in our country’s great time of need. The expansion of this program statewide is to fulfill the mission of serving Pennsylvania residents through economic relief, especially for those underserved populations.

“The Unemployment Compensation system plays a critical role in making certain that Pennsylvanians and their families stay financially afloat in times of need,” said Berrier

“By expanding in-person assistance and availability to all CareerLink offices, L&I continues to fulfill its mission of serving all Pennsylvanians facing economic hardship – and that begins with directly addressing the challenges faced by underserved populations and ensuring equitable access to UC services.“

Through the March 2022 $6.8 million grant from the U.S. Department of Labor, the UC program was able to promote equal access, removing barriers of entry for some populations to receive services. The program launched in May 2022 and has since used the federal funding to assist more than 4,500 UC claimants statewide, according to Pennsylvania L&I.

These in-person services assist persons who don’t have proper access to technology, equipment, or technical skills, individuals who don’t have access to home internet or broadband, and those who cannot speak or read English.

According to Pennsylvania L&I, you can contact your PA CareerLink centers directly for more information on this program or schedule an appointment. Below is a list of CareerLink centers provided by Pennsylvania L&I:
