IF YOU ARE AN EMPLOYEE
Unemployment Compensation
Employees in Pennsylvania who are out of work because of the coronavirus may be eligible for unemployment and workers’ compensation benefits.
Employees may be eligible if:
● Your employer temporarily closes or goes out of business because of COVID-19;
● Your employer reduces your hours because of COVID-19;
● You have been told not to work because your employer feels you might get or spread COVID-19; or
● You have been told to quarantine or self-isolate, or live/work in a county under government-recommended mitigation efforts.
Link to apply: https://www.uc.pa.gov/Pages/covid19.aspx . If you need help applying for unemployment benefit, call PCDC at 215-922-6156.
Expansion of Unemployment Compensation – Pandemic Unemployment Assistance (PUA) for Self-Employed and Contractors & More
The United States’ coronavirus relief package, known as the CARES Act, will provide a new temporary federal program call Pandemic Unemployment Assistance (PUA).
In general, PUA provides up to 39 weeks of unemployment benefits to individuals not eligible for regular unemployment compensation. Individuals covered under PUA include:
- Self-employed (i.e. independent contractors, gig economy workers, and workers for certain religious entities)
- Those seeking part-time employment
- Individuals lacking sufficient work history
- Those who otherwise do not qualify for regular unemployment compensation or extended benefits
How do I know if I should apply for “regular” unemployment compensation (UC) or for Pandemic Unemployment Assistance (PUA)? You should file for regular UC if you have an employer and
- you have been laid off, or
- your hours have been reduced through no fault of your own, or
- you cannot work because a medical or public official has directed you to quarantine or self-isolate because of COVID-19 exposure, symptoms, or a positive diagnosis; or
- you are caring for someone who is suspected of having or has tested positive for COVID-19.
You should file for PUA if you are ineligible for regular UC because you have lost income due to COVID-19 and
- are self-employed, or
- are seeking part-time work, or
- lack sufficient work history, or
- have exhausted all rights to regular UC or extended benefits.
Federal Pandemic Unemployment Compensation (FPUC)
The federal Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act of 2020 provides for a temporary emergency increase in unemployment compensation (UC) benefits, referred to as the Federal Pandemic Unemployment Compensation (FPUC) program.
This program provides an eligible individual with $600 per week on top of the weekly benefit amount he or she receives from certain other UC programs. An individual must first be eligible for UC or Pandemic Unemployment Assistance (PUA) benefits to qualify for the additional $600 per week in benefits.
Individuals don’t need to do anything extra to receive the $600. Continue to file biweekly claims – benefits will be automatically updated.
RESIDENTS AND FAMILIES
$1,200 Economic Impact Payment
———————– UPDATED ON 4/15/2020 ————————
(Source: IRS https://www.irs.gov/coronavirus/economic-impact-payments)
The IRS is committed to helping you get your Economic Impact Payment as soon as possible. The payments, also referred to by some as stimulus payments, are automatic for most taxpayers. No further action is needed by taxpayers who filed tax returns in 2018 and 2019 and most seniors and retirees. Check this page for update: https://www.irs.gov/coronavirus/economic-impact-payments
Common Questions:
For people that have Employment Authorization Document like A5 or C8 cards, are they eligible for the Economic Impact Payment?
If the individual has a social security number and is not claimed as a dependent by another person, he/she is eligible.
For new immigrants that did not report 2018 and 2019 returns, and not on the social security system, can they receive the payment and how?
They will need to provide necessary information to the IRS. The IRS has launched a platform for non-filers to receive payments. Please click this link to enter payment info: https://www.irs.gov/coronavirus/non-filers-enter-payment-info-here. IRS will use this information to determine your eligibility and payment amount and send you an Economic Impact Payment. After providing this information you won’t need to take any additional action.
Information you will need to provide:
- Full name, current mailing address and an email address
- Date of birth and valid Social Security number
- Bank account number, type and routing number, if you have one
- Identity Protection Personal Identification Number (IP PIN) you received from the IRS earlier this year, if you have one
- Driver’s license or state-issued ID, if you have one
- For each qualifying child: name, Social Security number or Adoption Taxpayer Identification Number and their relationship to you or your spouse
If you receive the following benefits, IRS already have your information and you will receive $1,200. Do not use this application if you receive:
- Social Security retirement, disability (SSDI), or survivor benefits
- Railroad Retirement and Survivor Benefits
Special note: People in these groups who have qualifying children under age 17 can use the application above to claim the $500 payment per child.
For people that have no legal status but have social security numbers, are they eligible?
Yes, an individual who has a social security number and is not claimed as a dependent by another person is eligible.
Is there any age limit on dependents to receive the $500 payment?
Yes, 16. For every qualifying child age 16 or under, the payment will be an additional $500. The age is determined as of the end of 2019.
For babies born in 2020, are they eligible for payment? How do parents receive the dependent payment when the baby is not on the 2019 tax return?
Yes, parents do get the $500, but not this year. The payment is based on the last tax filing when you did not declare your child. However, under the bill, parents are supposed to get that $500 next year in the form of a tax credit.
For dependents that are over the age 16, on parents’ return but also file their own return, would they qualify for any payment?
No. Individuals who are claimed as a dependent by another person are not eligible.
If taxpayers had their refund split into different accounts, which account would they receive payment?
Use the “Get My Payment” application to:
- Check your payment status
- Confirm your payment type: direct deposit or check
- Enter your bank account information for direct deposit if we don’t have your direct deposit information and we haven’t sent your payment yet

Healthcare
Source: Pennsylvania Health Access Network, last updated March 25, 2020.
Coverage:
- All major medical, Affordable Care Act (ACA)-compliant plans , including those available through www.healthcare.gov , should cover medically appropriate COVID-19 diagnostic testing and associated treatment. Many insurers have announced that they will cover medically appropriate COVID-19 testing without any copays, deductibles, or cost-sharing for consumers.
- Loss of job-based coverage qualifies individuals for a special enrollment period. If individuals enrolled in Marketplace plans lose income, they may qualify for increased subsidy, or may now be eligible for Medicaid coverage. Please go to www.healthcare.gov to update your income and learn more about your options.
- Medicaid (Medical Assistance) and CHIP covers medically appropriate laboratory testing for COVID-19 without copays. Associated treatment for COVID-19 is also covered, although there may be a nominal copay. If you cannot afford the copay at the time you receive the service, you will not be denied treatment, although your provider may send you a bill for the copayment amount.
- Testing is also free for consumers who are uninsured. If individuals believe they may have been exposed to COVID-19, and do not have a primary care provider, they should visit a local ER, clinic, or urgent care center.
- Medicaid applications are still being processed, and individuals should apply as normal. Individuals should note on the application if they have a health emergency related to COVID-19. DHS will continue to prioritize Medicaid applications where there is an immediate health concern, and self-attestations will be accepted.
- Excepted benefit policies, short-term, limited-duration (STLD) health insurance coverage, and/or health care sharing ministries can have significant limitations on coverage and may not provide the same level of access.
Testing
- Testing is available through the PA Department of Health (DOH) and commercial laboratories. In both cases, physician referral is needed.
- For testing through the DOH, consultation with the DOH is required . Physicians should call for consultation if:
- The patient is a contact of a confirmed case and is sick;
- The patient resides in a congregate care setting and is sick;
- The patient is a healthcare worker and is sick;
- The patient is hospitalized with relevant symptoms and has no alternative diagnosis.
- For testing through a commercial laboratory, consultation with the DOH is not required , and physicians can test if:
- The patient does not meet the above criteria, but is symptomatic;
- The patient does not meet the above criteria, is asymptomatic, but wants to be tested.
- Drive-thru testing is starting to become available in Philadelphia, but only available to those who have been directly referred by a physician
If consumers have questions about their insurance policy, contact your insurance or the Department of Health’s consumer hotline at (877) 881-6388.
Behavioral Health
- The PA Office of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services (OMHSAS) has temporarily suspended certain requirements for providing behavioral health services via telehealth.
- Staff may deliver telehealth services via telephonic and video communication applications such as FaceTime or Skype available on smartphones, and through telephonic only devices when video technology is not available.
Medical Assistance for Workers with Disabilities (MAWD)
Consumers who are eligible for MAWD can be granted Good Cause during periods where they are furloughed from employment . MAWD coverage will not be canceled based on a lack of employment. Additionally, Good Cause can be granted to waive MAWD premium payments for up to two months.

- 缺乏工作經歷的人
- 那些沒有資格獲得定期失業金或額外福利的人
我怎麼知道我應該申請“常規”失業補償金(UC)還是PUA補助?
以下情況,應該提交常規的失業補償金申請。您有雇主,而
- 您已被解僱,或
- 您的工作時間沒有因自己的過錯而減少,或者
- 由於有COVID-19症狀或陽性診斷,醫學或公共官員要求您隔離或自我隔離,因此您無法工作;或者
- 您正在照料COVID-19的疑似病人或經測試呈陽性的人。
如果您不符合常規失業的要求,則應申請PUA,因為您因COVID-19而失業,并且:
- 是自僱人士,或
- 正在尋臨時工作,或
- 缺乏足夠的工作經歷,或
- 已經用盡了常規失業或擴展福利的所有權利。
聯邦疫情失業補償金(FPUC)
2020年联邦《冠状病毒补助、救济和经济保障(CARES)法案》规定临时紧急增加失业补偿(UC)福利,该福利也是联邦大流行病失业补偿(FPUC)计划。
该计划为符合条件的个人提供每周600美元的补助金,这个补助金可以在他或她从某些其他失业补偿(UC)计划获得的每周福利额度进行叠加。 个体必须首先有资格获得失业赔偿(UC)福利才能有资格获得每周额外的600美元福利。
该个体不需要做其他事就能拿到600美元。 他/她只需要继续每两周提交一次索赔,则其福利额度会自动更新。
居民和家庭
每人$1,200的聯邦政府津貼
———————— 4/15/2020 最新信息 ————————–
來源:美國國稅局網站 https://www.irs.gov/coronavirus/economic-impact-payments
國稅局正在進行經濟影響津貼的分配,大多數人無需採取任何行動就將自動收到分配。大多數老年人和退休人員以及所有在2018年和2019年報稅的人不需要採取任何行動。但是,一些通常不報稅的人將需要提交簡單的納稅申報表才能收到津貼。
誰有資格獲得經濟影響津貼?
符合以下所有條件的美國公民和常住外國人將有資格獲得津貼:
- 擁有有效的社會安全號碼
- 不是其他任何報稅人的受撫養人
- 調整後的收入低於津貼分配所要求的最高限額
調整後的個人總收入不超過$ 75,000的稅收申報人、總收入不超過$ 112,500且支付超過一半家庭開銷的單身父母和總收入不超過$ 150,000的聯合申報的已婚夫婦將獲得全額。 對於收入高於這些金額的申報者,總收入超出75,000美元/112,500美元/150,000美元的每100美元,津貼金額將減少5美元。 收入超過$ 99,000的單身申報人、收入超過$ 112,500的單身父母和收入超過$ 198,000的沒有孩子的聯合申報人將不能得到津貼。社會保障領取者、鐵路退休人員和領取殘疾救濟金和老兵救濟金的人員也符合領取津貼的資格。這還包括那些在一般情況下不需要提交報稅表的低收入人群、無收入人群和全部收入都來源於特定的津貼項目的人群。領取社會保障金或者鐵路退休金的退休人員將自動收到津貼。
提交2019年或2018年納稅申報表的合格納稅人將自動獲得最高為每人1,200美元或已婚夫婦2,400美元的經濟影響津貼。 如果有符合資格的孩子,他們的父母還將額外獲得每個孩子500美元的經濟影響津貼。
國稅局如何知道將津貼發到哪裡?
絕大多數人不需要採取任何行動。 國稅局將計算並自動將經濟影響津貼發給符合條件的人。
對於已經提交了2019年納稅申報表的人,國稅局將使用此信息來計算付款金額。 對於尚未提交2019年納稅申報表的人,國稅局將使用其2018年納稅申報表中的信息來計算付款額。 經濟影響津貼將直接存入登記在納稅人提交的報稅表中的銀行帳戶中。
國稅局沒有我的銀行信息。 我能做什麼?
如果国税局沒有您的2018年或2019年退税中的直接存款信息,並且国税局尚未發送您的津贴,請使用“獲取我的付款”應用程序讓国税局知道將直接存款發送到哪裡。
通常我不需要報稅。 我能收到我的津貼嗎?
可以。美國國稅局將使用SSA-1099或RRB-1099表格中的信息來向那些不需要填寫納稅申報表且未提交納稅申報表的SSA-1099或RRB-1099表格中的受益人發放經濟影響津貼。 其中包括不需要提交納稅申報表的老年人,社會保障領取者和鐵路退休人員。
以上人群如果有符合資格的孩子,可以通過在IRS網站填寫相關信息來獲得每個孩子500美元的經濟影響津貼。
還有其他一些人,例如低收入工人和某些退伍軍人以及殘障人士,不需要提交納稅申報表,但仍然有資格獲得經濟影響付款。 納稅人可以使用IRS.gov工具-我需要提交納稅申報表嗎? -看看他們是否需要提交申报表以获得津贴。
如果您無需报税,請使用“非报税者:在此處提供收取津贴信息”應用程序提供簡單的信息,以便您可以收取津贴。
我尚未提交2018年或2019年的報稅表。我還能收到經濟影響津貼嗎?
可以。 美國國稅局(IRS)敦促尚未提交2018年或2019年報稅表的有納稅義務的人盡快報稅以收到經濟影響津貼。 納稅人應在報稅表上提供直接存款銀行的信息。
我需要報稅。經濟影響津貼會持續發放多久?
對於那些擔心親自拜訪稅務專業人士或當地社區組織以尋求報稅幫助的人,這些經濟影響津貼將在2020全年提供。
對於符合津貼發放條件的人群,請留意來自IRS國稅局的信件。
為了保證安全,國稅局計劃在津貼發出15天後郵寄信件到你的最新地址。這封信將會提供關於經濟影響津貼已經如何支付以及如果支付失敗將如何報告的信息。如果你不確定你收到的信件是否正規,請登錄國稅局的網站查閱信息來保護你自己。
避免有關經濟影響津貼的騙局。
請小心任何利用經濟影響津貼來盜取你個人信息和錢財的騙局。請記住,國稅局不會給你打電話、發短信、發電子郵件,也不會在社交網站上聯繫你並向你索要個人信息和銀行賬戶信息,即使他們聲稱與經濟影響津貼有關。此外,請小心那些聲稱與經濟影響津貼有關的電子郵件附件或者鏈接。
在哪裡可以獲得更多信息?
國稅局將在IRS.gov/coronavirus網站上即時更新所有關鍵信息。
美國國稅局(IRS)在許多辦公室的工作人員減少了,但仍致力於幫助合格個人迅速獲得津貼。 在IRS.gov/coronavirus查看最新信息,而不要打電話給幫助處理2019年退稅的IRS助手。
其他常見問題:
對於擁有A5或C8卡等工作文件的人,他們是否有資格獲得經濟影響津贴?
如果該人有社會安全號碼,並且不是其他任何人的受撫養人,則他/她就有資格。
對於2018年和2019年未報稅的,且未在社會保障體系中申報的新移民,他們可以領取津貼嗎?
他們將需要向IRS提供必要的信息。國稅局已經啟動了一個網絡平台,供人們提供信息。(https://www.freefilefillableforms.com/#/fd/EconomicImpactPayment)
領取社保的人士不必提交信息,因為IRS可以從SSA獲得信息。
對於沒有法律身份但有社會安全號碼的人,他們有資格嗎?
是的,具有社會安全號碼且不是其他任何人的受撫養人的個人有資格。
被撫養人是否有年齡限制才能獲得$ 500的津貼?
是的,16歲。每一個16歲及以下的兒童,將額外獲得$ 500。年齡以2019年底爲準。
對於2020年出生的嬰兒,他們有資格獲得津貼嗎?當嬰兒不在2019年報稅表上時,父母如何獲得受撫養人付款?
是的,父母可以得到500美元,但不是2020年。今年的津貼是基於2019年的報稅。但是,根據該法案,父母應該在明年以稅收抵免的形式獲得這500美元。
對於16歲以上的,自己也報稅的受撫養人,他們是否有資格獲得津貼?
不能。受撫養人不符合資格。
如果退稅到不同的帳戶,他們將收到在哪個帳戶收到津貼?
使用“獲取我的津贴”應用程序可以:
- 檢查您的津贴狀態
- 確認您的接收津贴方式:直接存款或支票
- 如果我們沒有您的直接存款信息並且我們還沒有發送您的付款,請輸入您的銀行帳戶信息以获得直接存款
為什麼我收到的經濟影響津貼的數額和我期望的不一樣?

- 失去基於工作的保險,使你有資格在一段時間内申請補助保險。如果參加Marketplace計劃的個人失去收入,則他們可能有資格獲得增加的補貼,或者現在有資格獲得Medicaid醫療補助。 請訪問www.healthcare.gov更新您的收入,並詳細了解您的選擇。
- Medicaid(醫療補助)和CHIP涵蓋了COVID-19實驗室檢測,而無需自付費用。 COVID-19的相關治療也包括在內,儘管可能會有名義上的自付費用。 如果您在接受服務時無法負擔共付額,您不會被拒絕接受治療,但是您的服務提供者可能會向您發送有關共付額的賬單。

- 患者是確診病例的接觸者,并且生病;
- 患者住在綜合護理場所,並且生病;
- 患者是醫護人員並且生病;
- 患者住院時出現相關症狀,無其他診斷。

SNAP糧食券/食物援助
4月下半月,您的EBT卡上將有更多SNAP補助金:您需要了解什麼
信息來源:社區法律服務 https://clsphila.org/coronavirus/snap-supplement-coronavirus/ ,最後訪問時間:4/28/2020
如果您在領取SNAP糧食券補助,則有可能在EBT卡上獲得額外的補助,以幫助您在COVID-19危機期間購買食物。 只有那些沒有獲得SNAP最大金額福利的人才能獲得這些額外的福利(稱為“ SNAP補助金”)。 額外的金額將使獲得部分福利的家庭獲得其家庭規模的最大金額(請參見下圖)。
家庭人數規模 | 最高補助金額 |
1 | $194 |
2 | $355 |
3 | $509 |
4 | $646 |
5 | $768 |
6 | $921 |
7 | $1,018 |
8 | $1,164 |
Each add’l member | $146 |
我會獲得額外的SNAP補助嗎?
若符合以下條件就可以:
- 在3月或4月上半月獲得SNAP
- 尚未獲得適合您家庭規模的最大SNAP補助金額。 例如:
- 如果您是一個三人家庭,目前每月獲得200美元,則您將額外獲得309美元,使您獲得3戶家庭的最高金額(509美元)。
- 如果您已經獲得了家庭規模的最高金額,您將不會獲得額外的補助。
我什麼時候可以獲得額外的SNAP補助?
- 額外的SNAP補助將通過一次付款獲得。
- 使用上面的示例:
- 如果您在3月和4月獲得SNAP並且是三人家庭,則將通過一次性付款獲得618美元的額外福利(3月和4月均為309美元)
- 如果您僅在四月份獲得SNAP並且是三人家庭,則一次性付款獲得四月份額外的309美元的福利。
- 根據下面的付款表,額外的SNAP將在4月的第3周和第4週發送到您的EBT卡中。 您的付款日期基於案件記錄號的最後一位數字。
- 在DHS通知上,或在線使用MyCOMPASS帳戶,找到記錄編號的最後一位數字(0-9)。 在下面圖表的第一行中找到您的對應號碼。
- 例如,如果您的記錄編號以5結尾,那麼您將在4月22日獲得SNAP額外優惠。
記錄編號的最後一位數 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 0 |
你將在2020年4月的這個日期獲得額外補助 | 16 | 17 | 20 | 21 | 22 | 23 | 24 | 27 | 28 | 29 |
我是否需要上交文件或申請以獲得額外的SNAP福利?
不,您不需要填寫額外的文件。 SNAP的額外補助將添加到您的EBT卡中,您將可以像常規SNAP一樣使用它。
資料來源:Pennsylvania Health Access Network賓夕法尼亞州衛生保健網絡,最後更新於2020年3月25日。
- 聯邦法規的原規定——健全的無需贍養他人的成年人(ABAWDS)接受SNAP的時限為三個月,此規定已被停止,直至另行通知。這意味著健全的無需贍養他人的成年人接受了三個月的糧食券之後可以繼續申請獲得糧食券。
- 非ABAWD的糧食券在接下來的三個月不會被終止,其中對工作的要求也會被修改以提高靈活性。
- 緊急糧食券申請可以在5天內加急批准。賓夕法尼亞州人可以在http://www.compass.state.pa.us上在線申請糧食券。
- 賓夕法尼亞州農業部的網站上也有以下信息:https://www.agriculture.pa.gov/Pages/COVID-19.aspx。如果食品櫃關閉,則個人可以致電其所在地區的食物銀行,它們全都在營業。
- 有關SNAP涵蓋及未涵蓋的內容的完整列表,請參見我們的糧食券手冊第503.3節,網址為http://services.dpw.state.pa.us/oimpolicymanuals/snap/index.htm#t=503_General_Information%2F503_3_Included_and_Excluded_Items.htm。這些是原聯邦法規的規定,尚未根據 國會通過的COVID-19法案作任何更改。
流行病電子救濟金轉賬追加付款
如果一個家庭有孩子符合條件獲得國家學校午餐項目和學校早餐項目支持下的免費或低價餐食,那麼他們將會收到流行病電子救濟金轉賬的款項。所有符合資格的孩子都會受到救濟金,不管他們當下是否在接收補充營養幫助救濟金。
救濟金細節:
- 救濟金以每個孩子每個學校日5.7美元的方式計算。
- 可以用於計算救濟金的天數為3月16日到6月12日。
- 救濟金將會一次性發放給符合條件的孩子。金額的計算基於該孩子何時符合國家學校午餐項目或學校早餐項目的條件。
領取低收入家庭緊急補助金和補充營養幫助救濟金的家庭的孩子將會從他們現有的EBT卡上直接收到流行病電子救濟金轉賬,與他們現在收到補充營養幫助救濟金的方式相同。沒有領取低收入家庭緊急補助金和補充營養幫助救濟金的家庭的孩子將會收到一張P-EBT的卡。

如果我遭受歧視該怎麼辦?
