Unemployment benefits are a means of temporary support should you lose your job through no fault of your own. There are a number of requirements that you must meet in order to obtain unemployment compensation, including:
- You lose your job due to no fault of your own
- You filed an application for unemployment
- Your employer was required or elected to pay into the unemployment fund
- You have worked enough to earn sufficient credit weeks
- You have registered to work with the Pennsylvania CareerLink
- You are currently available and capable of working
- You have met the one week waiting period after filing for unemployment
You may wonder why an employer would want to prevent an employee from receiving benefits. The more claims against an employer, the more that employer has to pay into the unemployment fund. Every employer is taxed at a rate that can increase based on the number of successful claims. For that reason, employers try to minimize the number of former employees receiving benefits.
Sometimes the reasons are personal as well. If an employer believes that an employee did wrong and should not receive the benefit of unemployment compensation, he or she may protest the claim.
