PA UC Issues Update

We wanted everyone to be aware of the changes that are effective January 1, 2017 in regards to employer’s Unemployment compensation payments.

As of that day all employers whose liability exceeds $5,000 in any period will be required to make payments electronically. The liability owed for a period, includes contributions, reimbursement of benefit charges, interest penalty and fees. Regardless of the future liabilities, once the liability exceeds $5,000 in any given quarter, payments will be required to be submitted electronically in future periods.

Employers will have three electronic options within UCMS: ACH Debit, ACH Credit or credit card payments. The department notes that ACH Debit provides the most efficient and accurate transfer of information and is therefore the preferred method of payment.
