I live in pa and work in nj but job agency is taking out unemployment taxes from pa rather than nj?
Q. They should be taking them out of nj. What kind of problems will this cause me? If I can leave it this way it is less out of my check every week but I think it will be a problem down the road with taxes,tax return,unemployment etc.. Does anybody know for sure?

A. the states have reciprocal agreements, and NJ is probably getting what you are entitled to from PA since that is where you worked and where your wages were reported and your employer paid into the fund

Can I collect PA unemployment if I start school in UK in Sept?
Q. I should qualify for unemployment after being fired in early April. In March I was accepted into Ph D program in London, England, but no one from my work knows this. I applied for Unemployment, but have not heard back yet on my status. If the state or my previous employers find out that I already have plans to leave the country to go to school full time, could that jeopardize my chances of getting Unemployment? I'm ready and willing to accept full time employment, just with an expiration date.

I just opened a new claim for Pa. unemployment even though my old claim is still awaiting appeal.?
Q. I am wondering if my new claim will be processed? I have been awaiting appeal since the end of June and have just had my hours cut at my new job.So I am going to try for partial benefits.Has anyone received benefits while awaiting appeal?

A. You must have done this online. Pennsylvania won't even look at a new claim while you have a claim on appeal or rejected in the past year without sending in paperwork documenting that you're entitled to the new claim. Call the unemployment service center, and they can walk you the process.

A. Other than the fact that there are more unemployed right now then there has ever been I really wouldnt know what to tell you. So many states are backed up on paying EUI. If you havent done so, then call your local office and see if you can get any info from them. Good luck.

Asked by hsc16354 - Sat Mar 21 17:34:51 2009 - Other - Politics & Government - 2 Answers - Comments

A. I thought that you might like a serious response to your question: Benefit Appeals When the Department has made a UC eligibility determination both parties, claimant and the employer, will be sent a copy of the determination. The claimant or the employer may request a hearing before a UC Appeals Referee by appealing a determination issued by the Department within 15 days of the mailing date of the determination. When the 15th day of the appeal period falls on a day on which the Department is closed (i.e. Saturday, Sunday, or holiday), the appeal period is extended to the next business day. If an appeal is filed after the 15-day appeal period has elapsed, the UC Referee will rule on the timeliness of the appeal. Follow the appeal… [cont.]

I received my PA unemployment debit card, does this mean I was approved for benefits?
Q. Or do they send those master card debit cards to everyone? I only received a financial determination of eligibility so far, no benefit eligibility. Dont take my question for igorance... I am a very intelligent person. The unemployment rep I spoke to on Wednesday of last week said it would be 3-4 weeks before they determined my official eligibility. So I am taken by surprise receiving this card 3 days after completing my initial claim.
Asked by milhouse181105 - Sat Sep 5 19:16:04 2009 - Personal Finance - 2 Answers - 2 Comments

A. No if the rep said three to four weeks, that's how long it will take. The card most likely won't have any funds transferred into it until the claim is approved, they may send it early so that you won't have to wait for it when the claim goes through. Read the paperwork that came with the card and see if it provides additional information, or call the rep on Tuesday and ask to be sure.

Can I collect PA unemployment while living out of state?
Q. If I move out of state while laid off, can I still collect unemployment benefits?
Asked by ISezSo - Wed Jun 22 11:34:54 2011 - Law & Ethics - 3 Answers - Comments

A. Although the Unemployment Insurance System is run by individual states, all states are members of the Interstate Reciprocal Benefit Payment Plan. Thus if you move to a new state in order to look for work, you can apply for UI benefits in that state. However, the laws of the old state, in which you were previously employed, will govern your benefits. You must satisfy that state's requirements in order to receive benefits in the new state.

A. Under the new economic stimulus legislation you may be able to get grants if you are unemployed due to a layoff (if you were fired for cause and are not receiving unemployment benefits you don't qualify) you can get a letter from unemployment through Workforce Central attesting to that and provide that and any other documentation necessary to the financial aid office. This will likely change your eligibility.
