Unemployment Compensation Question

[Schins]

I'm in Pa and every state is different, but I wondered if anyone here might be familiar enough.

A couple months ago I ended up on unemployment after the place I was working at closed their doors. And last week I landed another job. The question is what if it was the wrong job?

Im 51 and in decent shape, but this new job is even more physical than I anticipated. I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to continue with it.

Am i now stuck, because I can't fall back on unemployment until I get a different job?

Shins I don't know how it works in PA but in LA it used to be that once you filed a claim it was good for 26 weeks of unemployment pay. If you went to work for a week or two you did not file for those weeks but the claim was still open. If you went unemployed again you picked up where you left off.

Same here in Indiana, better to check before leaving that job, or,go,find another job while your still working.
