Has anyone who got laid off been able to collect PA unemployment?

I refuse to acknowledge the existence of that bank from New York that destroyed a once great company.
Mellon hasn’t existed for nearly 20 years
Actually I was with Mellon for 44 years, so it is possible for normal employees to collect something if they have patience and don't blow their severance immediately.
You’re correct. The problem is the company laying off tenured SMEs. So if a person spent 25 years here devoted to this company, they will be well over the threshold and won’t collect a penny in unemployment.
Yes you can, I am currently collecting and was let go in December.
PA has a formula for the severance, I think 27k is allowed and anything over gets deducted. I filed weekly for 6 months before I got a dime, but patience has paid off and I will collect until the end of November.
@ah you’re an a$$ wipe!
I'm in PA and was laid off in December with a severance. I was able to collect unemployment.
Yeah, happened to someone I knew. Just got to appeal it.
These sleazy prcks tried to say I resigned… went through unemployment office, presented my case and got approved for unemployment…. Got the feeling when I was going through the process that this was a common BNY move….
Unfortunately, no. You won’t qualify to also collect unemployment benefits in PA because you received a severance package.
Us old timers tried warning you all when the company wanted to move from a supplemental package to a severance model.
Just a side comment, if the Bank is doing this and hiring any offshore labor, the bank should pay the unemployment. Not taxpayers.
You can file a claim at this official site:

Good luck!
