NEW UPDATE 11 WEEKS Unemployment Update $300 SSDI SSI Stimulus Update PUA FPUC Unemployment Benefits

The Pennsylvania Department of Labor & Industry says it’s making some progress on fixing problems that have kept out-of-work Pennsylvanians from receiving unemployment benefits.

Acting Labor Secretary Jennifer Berrier told reporters this week that some people are not being given the option to claim pandemic unemployment assistance for previous weeks in January.

Berrier stated, “We have identified the issue and we’re working towards resolving it. At this time, there is nothing they need to do.”

State officials also said many people who put in claims for multiple weeks in January only got paid for one week.

However, in a recent announcement, those payments should soon start appearing in the claimant’s accounts.

Residents in Oregon who are out of work will soon receive fewer weeks of extended jobless benefits starting next month due to the state’s unemployment rate.

The state has been offering jobless Oregonians who exhaust their regular unemployment benefits an extra 13 weeks due to the state’s unemployment rate.
