If you are applying for the Pandemic Unemployment Assistance (PUA), and you are unable to reach your place of employment due to public health emergency-related shut downs, you may have to select the COVID-19 related reason which best fits your situation and self-certify under penalty of perjury.

Try your best to reach out to your employer for proof of employment first, so that you will not encounter delays or be denied assistance.
