City Increases Phase 2 COVID-19 Emergency Rental Assistance

The City of Philadelphia has made a significant change to the amount of rental assistance funding that is available for Phase 2 of the COVID-19 Emergency Rental Assistance Program. Now, RENT CAN BE PAID UP TO $1500.00!. This increase will automatically apply to tenants that have already applied for Phase 2 funding, as well as all new applicants.

IF YOU KNOW A LANDLORD THAT DID NOT WANT TO PARTICIPATE BECAUSE OF THE PREVIOUS ASSISTANCE LIMIT, PLEASE TELL THEM WORK WITH THEIR TENANT TO APPLY TODAY!!!!

We are taking applications until September 30, 2020.

Appeal the Decision Denying Your UC Benefits!

How to Appeal Your UC Decision During Covid19.
If you receive a Notice of Determination finding you ineligible for UC benefits and you disagree with the decision, you must file an appeal within 15 days of the decision’s mailing date. (* Even if you are outside the 15 days, still appeal. Given the public health crisis, there may be more leeway with late appeals. But try your very best to appeal on time.)

  • Filing an Appeal by Email.
    Right now, the best way to submit your appeal is by email.
    You can email your appeal to UCAPPEALS@PA.GOV

  • Filing an Appeal By Mail.
    The information necessary for sending your appeal by mail will be located on the back of most Notices of Determination issued by unemployment, including the name and address of the Unemployment Compensation Service Center that issued it.
