FOX 29's Marcus Espinoza reports on the PA unemployment numbers rising, causing confusion and frustration for many. PHILADELPHIA - As of Thursday, self-employed workers and others can now file for backdated pandemic unemployment assistance and benefits known as PAU by heading to uc.pa.gov.
However, it’s not all roses and celebrations, the system appears to be wildly inconsistent. “Yesterday, they sent out the letter that we were approved.
My wife also got a letter that she was approved but her situation is still under review for some reason. We filled out everything the same," Edwin Espinal told FOX 29.
Espinal has a family of five to take care of. He’s a Lyft and Uber as well as Amazon driver. He says he’s been without income for weeks now
