I don’t think they have one person working at the PA. Unemployment office that knows what they’re doing. I have called and talked to three separate people regarding my unemployment compensation and not a one of them helped me. I filed over 3 MONTHS (yes months) ago and not one person ever called or emailed me to let me know the status of my claim😡I still have not received a dime. Good luck getting getting unemployment compensation from them. Worthless😡🤬🤬

Does going to the office get answers or is it just pretty much a wait and see game while bills pile up? Filed end of May, no weekly rate, no 600, not a penny.

Are they open to the public?

Roses Flowers | Sep 27, 2022
Phillip Vafias | Sep 28, 2022

No... there are police stationed in the lobby. If you have direct business with someone at L&I, they will call that person to the lobby. Also, there is a drop- box for delivering documents.

My husband has been unemployed since June 30th and has yet to receive any to receive any money. Why??? That is just wrong. Is anyone else waiting?

Susan Higgins | Sep 16, 2022
Phillip Vafias | Sep 23, 2022

There are thousands of people waiting... the demand for UC during the pandemic was unprecedented. The claims backlog is still extreme. This is no one's fault... staffing is set up for normal operation so it was impossible for UC to keep up with demand. It will take a couple years till the backlogs are completely eradicated...

Is there someone real at Pennsylvania labor department to speak to in person or is the building open to the public?

renee corbitt | Aug 31, 2022
Stephanie Venturo | Aug 31, 2022

The labor and Industry building is not open to the public. There are people working there in the building but alot of staff are teleworking also. It depends on the Bureau.

If my company promised a certain milage rate and I have proven they have not been giving me that rate and they owe me over 500.00 in back pay on unpaid mileage can I do anything

Heather Tanner | Aug 31, 2022
Amy Sunnergren | Aug 31, 2022

File a complaint w the US dol or the pa bureau of labor law compliance. Get the number claim filing on the net.

I have been waiting to hear from someone in unemployment about backdated pua unemployment wast told they would call gave ma ticket number back in Oct, 25, 202 at that time they were at number320,521 and now they are at 417,189 an I still waiting

Evelyn Simmons | Jan 3, 2022
MAK Kap | Jan 3, 2022

Im still waiting. Im number 444, 600..i called back in oct after my appeal was won & had over payments reversed. Now i need to get them to backdate my claim to last work day feb/march 2020. Which should automatically been done. Been asking them to do that since i filed in aug. Instead i got a deniwd in june 2021. ! All because i was trying to get backdate to the date it was supposed to be. Instead of helping me. They denied me i had to do a hearing and everything. Thank goodness the referee looked at all my documents and actually spoke with me. And agreed. I was entitled to recieve pua etc. Now i am trying to get 24 weeks that i am supposed to ve eligible for but i cant self certify without them sending me a link to do so. I can only imagine the fight im going to have to endure to get them to do that. Its very stressful. And complicated. When it doesnt need to be. I thought they were there to help us not hinder us and shame us.

I opened a new claim on 4/4/21 and was sent a financial determination but have received none of my benefit checks. I have called, emailed, and faxed but have received no benefit money. Whom should I contact to get a response?

Barbara Beitler | Sep 30, 2021
Pixie Casale | Sep 30, 2021

Theyre revamping the system to make it easier for you to understand ask questions and filing they will open the site June 3rd if you go to the site there is alot of information to read

If I go to one to their offices will that be worth it? I can't get a hold to them by phone or email. I haven't received any payment since November 2020 and I haven't got a response by mail or something.

Victor M Diaz | Sep 30, 2021
Margaritta L Martin | Sep 30, 2021

Not really you have to call first before going to one of the offices

Is there anyone real to talk to about my P.U.A. issues with in the department of labor and industry in Pennsylvania.

Kenneth Thompson | Sep 30, 2021
Christine Dragotta | Sep 30, 2021

Unfortunately, the answer is NO! I went through the same thing making call after call and always getting a busy signal. I emailed too but didn't hear anything. So, I called the PA dept.of labor and industry and spoke to a real person. More bad news! They have no one there who oversees the PUA program. So,, back to square one. But I'm not giving up!

I have exhausted my pua benefits 2 weeks ago , will I receive the extension and enhancement? I'm not eligible for other programs

Patrick Fisher | Sep 30, 2021
Jody Fink | Sep 30, 2021

Not sure, we only received 1 check since March. Emailed no answer. Got through on phone but didn't really help. Harrisburg office closed since March. Didn't realize until we drove there. Keep trying phone number. May take days with constant dialing.

How long until I hear something in PA about the PAndemic UE extension? I think I filed. It's hard to say because the website is so brief on explaining things. I put a claim in every week since my account ran out of funds,

Brenda Simons | Sep 30, 2021
Ray Vanatta | Sep 30, 2021

It all depends when you filed. You have to wait 4 to 6 weeks. Try to call earlier on Thursday and Friday mornings at the normal phone number especially. I had to wait 1 hour once the phone line stopped being busy and I got through as I've been waiting since April 2020 for my benefits and to finally talk with someone live . This lady seen all the confusion and she assisted me ever since then and it helped me and my process. Also if you got to you're local Unemployment office there is a drop box to put a letter or inside the box is a form to fill out requesting a all back. I got one within weeks time business days that is. Hope this helps.

Is this location now open?
