You should contact a labor lawyer but to my knowledge the company you left has to prove cause for firing as PA is an at will employment state. If they can’t prove they fired you for cause they can’t deny you unemployment and you basically are considered let go not fired

Tip from an employer. Unless the employee did something pretty messed up, you wouldn't bother denying unemployment. It's not like the old job is cutting the person a check. Companies pay unemployment insurance.

It depends on the size of the company. Unemployment insurance can go up by multiples once claimed for businesses with fewer than 10 people.

Sure but it is still a very small percentage.

I had an employer fight my UC benefits, but they didn’t show up to the court hearing so I won the case.
For most people, though, it’s probably less expensive and less of a hassle to repay the UC than it is to hire a lawyer and fight it in court.
