What To Say When Appealing a Denial Of Unemployment in Pennsylvania

What Should I Say When I Appeal a Denial of My Unemployment Claim in Pennsylvania?



How Do I Appeal From a Notice of Determination Denying My Unemployment Claim in PA?

The key thing to remember is that you have an automatic right to a Hearing when you appeal from a Notice of Determination made by the Unemployment Service Center.  After your appeal, you will receive a Notice of Hearing before an Unemployment Referee.  Usually, the Hearing will be held in the county in which you worked.

Your Right to a Referee Hearing is ABSOLUTE - 
Winning the Hearing is Crucial!

Again, you do not need to "prove" your right to a Hearing.  And, whatever you say can be used against you at the Hearing.  That is why we tell our clients to simply say "I disagree with the determination."

How to Avoid Filing a Late Appeal for Your Pennsylvania Unemployment Compensation Claim


If you received a Notice of Determination denying you unemployment compensation, you should immediately appeal the denial (you have only 15 days to do so). If you are late, you will not get a Hearing; there are basically no excuses for being late.  

We believe faxing or e-mailing your appeal is the best way to go if you file promptly.  If, though, you are within 3-5 days of the deadline, the safest thing to do is to take it to your local Post Office and get a "Proof of Mailing."  The fax and e-mail addresses are found on your Notice of Determination.
