SB 562 Pennsylvania Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

An Act amending the act of December 5, 1936 (2nd Sp.Sess., 1937 P.L.2897, No.1), known as the Unemployment Compensation Law, in compensation, further providing for benefits based on service for educational institutions.

SB 562 amends Pennsylvania's unemployment compensation law to change how benefits are calculated for workers at educational institutions between academic terms. It removes the requirement that individuals must have "reasonable assurance" of returning to work at the same institution during the next academic year to qualify for benefits. This directly affects teachers, staff, and other employees at schools or colleges who work between academic terms. The change applies to services performed on or after the bill's effective date, ensuring benefits are payable regardless of return assurances, provided all other eligibility criteria are met.
