Unemployment Compensation (UC) is a form of income support against job loss. It provides an income to individuals who become unemployed through no fault of their own. UC benefits are paid, for a limited time, to individuals who are able and available for suitable work, but continue to be unemployed while looking for another job. To be covered by the UC program, a worker must have performed services covered by the Pennsylvania UC Law (Law), and must have worked for an employer who is required by Law or elects to pay into the UC Fund.
