    15. Hello, from http://www.portal.state.pa.us/portal/server.pt?open=514&objID=830896&mode=2#5

      looks like you apply like normal, and they determine if you can receive them

      0. Am I eligible for unemployment benefits?
      The Pennsylvania UC Law establishes various requirements for eligibility for UC benefits. Among them are the following:

      You must have sufficient qualifying wages and a minimum of 16 credit weeks in your base year.

      You must have a qualifying separation. And, you must be able and available to accept suitable work and not refuse work when offered.

      UC eligibility cannot be predetermined. Your eligibility will be based on the information provided by you and your employer(s) after you file an Application for Benefits.

      You may access general information on UC from our website by selecting Unemployment Compensation; and for information on your financial eligibility by selecting Benefits – Potential Eligibility. For an online application to apply for benefits select Applying for UC Benefits.

    22. 9. What should I do if I’m unable to get through to the UC service center via telephone?
      Each UC service center is open from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday. Mondays are traditionally a heavy call day. Customers who wish to apply or claim UC benefits are encouraged to file online, or call the UC service center later in the day and later in the week, if possible, when call volume is lighter.

      During times of high call volume, a call back system may be in place. If you would like a return call, you must enter your Social Security number and the telephone number where you can be reached. Calls are returned from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday. The UC service center telephone system utilizes line blocking or caller ID block. Callers who have anonymous call rejection activated on their telephones must deactivate this service to receive return calls from the UC service center.

    23. I have applied on-line for UC benefits, but am not sure if the application was actually submitted because the site took me to a job search page. While I find the job search page helpful, I still need to know if my claim was processed or if the application was not complete and sent. Is calling in the the center the best way to check if my application has been received or can I check the status of my application on-line?
