I live in PA, worked for a company for 19 yrs, that has changed drastically for the worse, there is now a surplus, being a union job, the company will offer a buy-out (eisp), more or less a option to voluntarily retire/quit with an offer of eisp (Enhanced Income Security Plan), ie 1,100.00 (or more)times the years of service, possibly an offer added to add years to an employees service. I understand that one cannot collect UC, when retiring or quitting (in most cases) from a job, however, if I were to get a temporary or seasonal job, making 11.00 p/hr or so, immediately or soon after, making enough money, during that time to be eligible for UC benefits (I may be wrong, but I believe, because I make over 29.00 p/hr, I'd have to make a percentage of something like 595.00 times a certain amount of weeks, I figured approx. 3,900.00?.... I am sorry, that may be totally wrong figures, but that is part of my question as well)I was told, that they would go back like 18 mos, therefore, collecting off the income rate I was making while still employed at the company I will be leaving. To put it simply, my questions are: "Would I be eligible to collect, knowing, I am taking a seasonal or temp job, once that job ends?"
