The Department of Labor & Industry announced that Pennsylvanians will have a much quicker and easier time filing unemployment claims when the state transitions to a new system in June.
Department of Labor & Industry Acting Secretary Jennifer Berrier says that the department’s new system will replace an obsolete, 40-year-old mainframe legacy system with modern software.
“The new system will be easy to use, provide access to important information, and streamline the unemployment claim filing process for workers, employers, unemployment program staff, and third-party administrators,” said Berrier. “The pandemic stressed an already-antiquated IT platform and we look forward to improving the process so that out-of-work Pennsylvanians can focus their time and attention on finding a new job.”
