Employers: Dealing with unemployment compensation fraud
As concerns regarding unemployment compensation fraud are increasing across the state, the Pennsylvania Department of Labor and Industry is continuing to provide updates resources to employers, including school districts, who believe they may be potential victims of UC fraud.
Employers should respond promptly to any employer notices about a fraudulent claim. The fastest way to do this is in the employer’s portal in the new UC system or through the State Information Data Exchange System (SIDES) e-response system. The department has online resources for those employers who wish to use the new system, including video tutorials and step-by-step guides (Resources (pa.gov) and answers to frequently asked questions about the new UC system (FAQs (pa.gov).
