I was wrongfully terminated from my job. I applied for unemployment immediately. After almost a month, I didn't hear back as to the decision. So I decided I'd look for temporary work.
I found a temp job and have been employed for about two weeks now. Suddenly, out of the blue, an unemployment payment was disbursed. I checked the unemployment website for my state and found that I have been approved.
Here's my bind. My unemployment compensation will be more money than what this temp job is paying on a weekly basis. I am also driving an hour away everyday to get to the job location.
What happens if I quit the temp job? Do I still get unemployment or will I find myself in a situation where I'm jobless and ALSO don't have unemployment compensation?
The end goal is for me to have some more time to look for suitable work close to home. Unemployment will keep me afloat until that point.
Any advice would be terrific!
PS: I live in Pennsylvania.
