Quarterly Chapter Meeting

Unemployment Compensation 101

If you or your department are responsible for handling UC’s requests for information, then this seminar is for you. We will give an overview of the claims filing process, the determination process and appeal rights. We will show you the forms that an employer may receive when a claim is opened, how they are used to determine the claimant’s eligibility and to protect the employer’s liability, discuss the specific time frame to respond to these forms and the importance of responding timely.

Hill has been an employee of the PA Department of Labor and Industry under the branch of Unemployment Compensation for over 20 years.  Hilton has extensive experience with UC issues.  His initial position was that of a UC Interviewer which led to his being promoted to a UC Examiner.  In this position Hilton was required to write non-monetary decisions in accordance with the appropriate law.  During his employment as a UC Interviewer and UC Examiner Hilton has been called upon to represent UC as a part of the Rapid Response Team during times of mass layoffs or short term layoffs.
