Now celebrating its 40th year of service, U•COMP is an unemployment compensation trust that was founded in 1985 through the combined efforts of the:
- Pennsylvania Municipal League – the plan administrator
- Pennsylvania State Association of Township Commissioners (PSATC)
- Pennsylvania Association of Housing and Redevelopment Agencies (PAHRA)
U•COMP Board of Trustees
Three representatives from the Pennsylvania Municipal League:
- Mayor Michele Bannon, City of Carbondale
- Mr. Joseph Fleming, City Manager, City of Saint Marys
- Mr. John Brenner, Secretary/Treasurer, Executive Director, The League
Two representatives from the Pennsylvania State Association of Township Commissioners (PSATC):
- The Honorable Anthony Taliani, President Commissioner, East Deer Township
- The Honorable Dennis Arthur, President Commissioner, Tinicum Township
Two representatives from the Pennsylvania Association of Housing and Redevelopment Agencies (PAHRA):
- Chairperson Edward Mauk, Executive Director, Butler County Housing and Redevelopment Authorities Authority Vice Chairperson
- Ms. Dusti Dennis, Housing Authority of the City of Erie
The U•COMP program was created to assist municipalities and authorities in lowering their unemployment costs. It is a less costly alternative for your unemployment compensation needs because all surplus and interest earnings remain in the program. The plan saves money due to:
- The similar nature of its membership
- The membership employers experience lower unemployment claims
- Quality administration of claims
- Elimination of guesswork caused by fluctuating claims
In fact, the Trustees have declared and returned to the members, dividends for each of the last 35 years.
U•COMP utilizes a third party claims administrator in order to assist you with the completion of Labor and Industry forms and will provide you with representation at unemployment compensation hearings. U•COMP members are provided with a user-friendly software system in which to report separations and to view claims.
