This is a friendly reminder that if this week is your last week worked you need to reopen your UC claims starting this Sunday 7-26-20. You cannot do it this Friday nor Saturday because you are not unemployed this week. The UC claim must be reopened on the first week that you are totally or partially unemployed, and always the first day to do it is on Sundays.

You can go to the UC website www.uc.pa.gov and choose “Reopening an existing claim.” Please see the link below.

Also, for some of the members the UC claim will expired this Saturday 7-25-20 or prior because the UC claim lasts one year, and if you opened a UC claim last July most likely that claim will expire this Saturday, so you will need to file for a new UC claim. Please find below the link.
