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.)

You can email your appeal to UCAPPEALS@PA.GOVFiling 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.
