PA Unemployment question on collection?

PA unemployment and question on collecting?

Hey there, hopefully someone can please help me.

I live in PA, and work for a company in NY. The history is EXTREMELY convoluted, but I have been with the same couple of guys for three years, although we changed companies a few times in my tenure with them. Most recently they started their own company, brought me with them, and now they use an HR service that administers payroll and benefits. They have only been using them for the last few months.

The company before that (based in NY) did not pay into PA taxes or unemployment. However, when I did my taxes this year, my accountant requested a credit from NY to PA, and I paid the PA local taxes.

I was just laid off and filed a PA UC claim. They only asked me if I made over a certain with the company in the last quarter. Since the HR company has been paying us, I did exceed that amount. I am wondering if I am going to have problem collecting unemployment because the company has only been paying for a few months?

If you understand this, thank you for any help you can offer.

    You should not have a problem. Companies are charged a percentage of total payroll for unemployment. The percentage is based on the number of claims they have. If they go for a long time with no claims, they no longer have to pay into the fund. Your new company will just have to pay for a longer time or a higher percentage to cover your payments.
