Self-Employment Assistance (SEA) Program

[28 Pa.B. 432]

   The Self-Employment Assistance (SEA) Program plan received Federal approval on January 9, 1998. The SEA Program plan was prepared and submitted to the United States Department of Labor for review and approval in response to the November 26, 1997, enactment of Act 54, the ''Self-Employment Assistance Program Act.''

   Act 54 authorizes the creation of Pennsylvania's SEA Program, one of the initiatives in Governor Ridge's Project for Community Building. The SEA Program is a reemployment option for unemployed individuals who are profiled as likely to exhaust their regular unemployment compensation (UC) benefits and are interested in becoming self-employed. To reach that goal, the SEA Program will provide temporary income support allowances and business counseling and training. The income support will be paid in the same amount and at the same interval as regular UC benefits.

   Act 54 is not an amendment to the Pennsylvania UC Law. Rather, it is separate, independent legislation which affects the eligibility for allowances paid to this group of affected claimants.
