Can I Get Pennsylvania Unemployment if I am Receiving a Severance?

Lots of Rules to Know!

Severance Under PA Unemployment Law - What Are the Rules in Pennsylvania Regarding Severance and Unemployment Benefits?

If you are receiving a total severance package worth less than +/-$20,000, your severance will have no impact on your unemployment benefits.

If you are receiving more than $20,000 in severance, your unemployment benefits will be reduced.  There is a sliding scale used to determine how much your benefits are reduced for each payment over +/-$20,000
