| Justice Delayed, but not Denied |
If your Unemployment Hearing has been scheduled, and you are unavailable on the appointed date and time, or need more time to prepare, you may get a continuance of the Hearing.
In order to get a continuance, you need to put your request in writing. The best thing to do is to send it directly to the Referee via a telefax. You can find out the name of the Referee and his/her fax number from the Notice of Hearing. On the Notice of Hearing, you will also find your case number; reference that in your continuance request.
Submit the request as soon as possible. You have a much greater chance of getting the continuance if you make your request at least a week before the Hearing.
Under What Circumstances Will Pennsylvania Unemployment Grant My Request to Postpone My Referee Hearing?
There are few circumstances under which a Referee will almost always grant a continuance.

| Write the Referee a Fax and Ask for Continuance |
Another way of nearly guaranteeing a continuance is to advise that you are in the process of obtaining counsel.
There are other valid bases to obtain a continuance but, typically they should involve unavailability, not just mere inconvenience.
Your lawyer may often be granted a continuance if he/she asks, provided the request is timely and supported by a valid reason (i.e. attached for court that day, etc.).
