HARRISBURG (KDKA) -- If you are claiming unemployment compensation through the state and want to view or manage your payments, you will have to check later.

The Pennsylvania Department of Labor and Industry tweeted on Saturday morning that claim management on their website, which includes services such as checking payment status, viewing payments, viewing or paying overpayments, and viewing and printing 1099Gs, was down to claimers due to system maintenance.
