I was laid off late March from my job of 21.5 years, collected unemployment because of "lack of work", was called back 12 times for short projects so I would claim that I worked and get partial payment for the hours that I didn't work. I started a part time job early August, did the same thing there, claimed only hours I did not work to make up to 40 hours, but that job has been picking up so much that I wouldn't be able to go into my old job and help them so to avoid any issues I quit my old job, am working at the new one but not 40 hours a week yet, can I still collect partial unemployment from my old job because of lack of work? I know pre Covid if you quit you are done, but this Covid has changed a lot of things so that might not be the case now? I did call PA. unemployment and explained it to them and the guy there said "I would just continue to do what you are doing, work and claim the hours you lost" but I don't know if that is the right thing to do? Does my old job have to offer me hours and have me turn them down in order to "discontinue" my claim?
If you have any ideas please let me know, this is very different and confusing thanks to Covid!
