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. 

    Unemployment for Employers

    Take a look at the unemployment services for employers. 

    How to file

    To file unemployment compensation (UC), employers must use the Unemployment Compensation Management System (UCMS) online.

    Paper forms are no longer used. You can file online by uploading files through the employer portal, or use File Transfer Protocol (FTP). Use online filing if you have 100 or fewer employees; otherwise, use upload or FTP.

    For updates on files that may have changed, check the  UC-2010 handbook (PDF). If you have questions, contact the Office of UC Tax Services at 1-866-403-6163, option 2.

    Correcting Tax and Wage Information

    You can fix mistakes in your tax and wage information by going to the Quarterly Reporting portal in UCMS and choosing "Amend Quarterly Report."

    For details on how to change your information online, check the UC-2010 handbook (PDF).

    Penalty for non-compliance

    Employers who can't file online need to ask for permission using a waiver request form. Employers who don't have a waiver and don't file online will be fined. The fine is 15% of the total they owe, with at least $125 and at most $450.
