Official Website

of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania

    The .gov means its official.

    Local, state, and federal government websites often end in .gov. Commonwealth of Pennsylvania government websites and email systems use "pennsylvania.gov" or "pa.gov" at the end of the address. Before sharing sensitive or personal information, make sure you're on an official state website. 

    Disabling a Pop-Up Blocker

    NOTE: We do not recommend permanently turning off your pop-up blocker. This can leave you vulnerable to any number of malicous programs. We recommend you only disable the blocker temporarily. You can also add a specific site to the "white list" of sites for which your browser will always allow pop-ups.

    By default, Google Chrome blocks pop-ups from automatically showing up on your screen. When a pop-up is blocked, the address bar will be marked Pop-up blocked Pop-up blocked. You can also decide to allow pop-ups.

    Change your pop-ups & redirects settings

    1. On your computer, open Chrome.
    2. At the top right, click More More and then Settings.
    3. Click Privacy and security and then Site Settings and then Pop-ups and redirects.
    4. Choose the option that you want as your default setting.
