Important Information
- Did you know Employers need access to TWO DIFFERENT SYSTEMS to fully manage Unemployment Compensation (UC) matters?
- The UC Management System (UCMS) is used to report wages on a quarterly basis and manage your UC Tax obligations. Sign in at the Keystone logo to the right. If you have issues with this site or inquiries on UC Tax obligations, call Employer Tax Services at 866-403-6163, weekdays 7:30 a.m. - 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time.
- The UC Benefits System (BenMod), www.benefits.uc.pa.gov, is used by employers to respond to unemployment benefit questionnaires, request relief from charges, and review benefit payments paid to individuals associated with your account.
- All employers who have access to UCMS also have a login within BenMod. The login credentials are created automatically using your UC Tax information. To login to BenMod for the first time, users should navigate to www.benefits.uc.pa.gov and use the Password reset feature. You will need your UCMS tax Keystone/User ID, company zip code, and company phone number. If this isn't successful, you will be prompted with the proper contact information for additional support or call 833-728-2367 option 1, for further assistance regarding BenMod.
