If you are laid off or fired you will be eligible for unemployment. You would have to file in Philadelphia however.

I live in PA, but worked for a company in Ohio (telecommuting), and when I was laid off I applied and collected through Pennsylvania. You apply where you live, not where you work (if the two happen to be different states).

According to the government source link I posted below, "In general, workers are covered by the UI (unemployment insurance) law of the state where the work is performed." "The laws of most states permit employers to elect coverage of workers who perform their services entirely outside the state if they are not covered by any other state or federal UI law. Of the states permitting such elections, residence is required in the state of election in all but Connecticut, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Nebraska, Oregon, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin." When I lived in Indiana and got laid off in Illinois, I had to apply through Illinois.

Usually you apply where you live, then an interstate claim is done. For instance I live in SC and work in GA. I will be unemployed as of April 1. I must apply in SC, they will go after GA to pay the UE.
