State Sentor Wayne Fontana said people whose unemployment compensation benefits expired before the 99<br />
week limit should continue filing claims.<br />
“While Congress debates extending unemployment benefits for those looking for work, folks should continue filing.<br />
This will allow payments to be sped up in the event that Congress does approve this necessary extension.”<br />
Fontana said officials from the state Department of Labor & Industry have advised him that they mailed notices to<br />
nearly 100,000 unemployed Pennsylvanians whose benefits ended, or soon will end, with instructions on how to<br />
continue filing.<br />
“Thousands of people across the state are relying on these benefits to provide for themselves and their families,”<br />
Fontana said. “If Congress doesn’t act soon, it is estimated that about 72,000 Pennsylvanians will lose their benefits in<br />
<strong>January</strong>.”<br />
“Unemployment compensation provides at least some relief to those who truly need it due to the economic<br />
downturn. Not to mention, delaying or neglecting benefits could further strain our economy.”<br />
