Webinar To Address Unemployment Compensation For Crozer Health Workers

DELAWARE COUNTY, PA — Legal professionals are getting ready to host a free webinar that aims to help those impacted by the closure of Crozer Health in Delaware County.

Attorneys from Legal Aid of Southeastern PA and Philadelphia Legal Assistance are again presenting information about unemployment compensation for Crozer Health Alumni.

The free webinar, titled "After Crozer Closed: How to Tackle Unemployment Compensation Issues," will be held from 5:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. Thursday.

Presenters at this event are Julia Simon-Mishel, Esq., Philadelphia Legal Assistance (PLA) Supervising Attorney, Unemployment Compensation Unit; Lee Scoratow, Esq., Legal Aid of Southeastern PA (LASP) Staff Attorney, based in Delaware County. It will be moderated by Erica Briant, Esq., LASP Director of Community Engagement and Training.

Simon-Mishel and Scoratow will provide guidance on how to appeal if your application for unemployment compensation is denied, how to comply with UC requirements, and other common issues. They will also answer questions.

More than 400 people registered and more than 200 people attended the May 1 event and asked excellent questions, a representative for the Legal Aid of Southeastern PA said.

With a few weeks passing since the Crozer closure, bumps likely will have emerged for some former staff applying for benefits.

Attorneys with Legal Aid of Southeastern PA also gained insights into Crozer Alumni's questions when they attended the May 13 resource fair at Subaru Park.

While the training is designed to assist Crozer Health employees who recently lost their employment, it is also open to the public.

Anyone with questions about Unemployment Compensation in Pennsylvania will come away with new knowledge after the event.

Attorneys are welcome to attend, but CLE credit will not be provided. Legal aid staff are also invited.

Register online here. Registrants will receive a Zoom link for the training. If a Zoom link does not appear in your email inbox, check the spam folder.

The recording from the May 1 webinar is available online here.
