Unemployment Compensation (UC) Benefits System
The system is easy-to-use and designed to simplify and speed up the claims process. Claimants have access to more information and self-serve options that reduces the need to contact the UC customer service center.
Create an Account and Log In
The UC Benefits system requires a log-in using a username and password. You can create one when you access the system for the first time. Learn more about the
username/password process.
- If you forgot your username or password, simply choose the "reset username" or "reset password" link from the
login page. You will receive an email with instructions on how to proceed. If you do not receive an email, you must call the UC Service Center at 888-313-7284 to make sure the correct email address is on file.
To safeguard the personal data of Pennsylvania's unemployment claimants against fraudulent activity, we have added
multi-factor authentication (MFA) to the system login process. Additionally, new users will have to verify their identity using our security partner,
ID.me.
Programs that transitioned to the new system are:
- Unemployment Compensation (UC)
- Pandemic Emergency Unemployment Compensation (PEUC)
- Extended Benefits (EB)
- Shared Work or Short-Time Compensation (STC)
- Trade Readjustment Allowances (TRA)
