Pennsylvania Unemployment Comp e-file Mandate

Effective January 1, 2014, the Pennsylvania Department of Labor & Industry is requiring employers to file their quarterly Unemployment Compensation (UC) and wage reports electronically on the Department's online UC Management System.

Details of the mandate can be found here as well as some other news and recent law changes. Of particular note, is this legislation:

"Under Act 75 of 2013, signed by Governor Corbett on Oct. 23, 2013, if an individual is overpaid UC benefits because the employer or agent of the employer failed to respond in a timely or adequate manner to a request by the department for information regarding the individual's eligibility for compensation, the employer's account will no longer be credited when the overpayment is established."

Get those "requests for separation information" back to the Department as soon as possible. They are due no later than 14 days after the Department issues them.
