PA CareerLink® Montgomery County

News & upComing Events!

  • The Unemployment Compensation (UC) system has transitioned to a new and  easy-to-use platform designed to simplify and speed up the claims process. Claimants now have access to more information and new self-serve options that will reduce the need to contact the UC customer service center. The new system will make sure people get the benefits they need while also reducing the opportunity for fraud.

Programs that will transition to the new system are:

Unemployment Compensation (UC)
Pandemic Emergency Unemployment Compensation (PEUC)
Extended Benefits (EB)
Shared Work or Short-Time Compensation (STC)
Trade Readjustment Allowances (TRA)

The Pennsylvania Department of Labor and Industry will continue to host a series of workshops to help east the transition. If you cannot attend a live session, a recorded version is also available here.

  • MontcoWorks and the Main Line Health Lankenau Medical Center are proud to announce the third workshop in our 4-part Health and Wellness series on June 22nd. Take a look at the flyer and be sure to register!
