Unemployment Compensation Question

I'm in Pa and every state is different, but I wondered if anyone here might be familiar enough.

A couple months ago I ended up on unemployment after the place I was working at closed their doors. And last week I landed another job. The question is what if it was the wrong job?

Im 51 and in decent shape, but this new job is even more physical than I anticipated. I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to continue with it.

Am i now stuck, because I can't fall back on unemployment until I get a different job?

Shins I don't know how it works in PA but in LA it used to be that once you filed a claim it was good for 26 weeks of unemployment pay. If you went to work for a week or two you did not file for those weeks but the claim was still open. If you went unemployed again you picked up where you left off.

but i got a new job, and we normally dont qualify for UC if we volunteerly leave a job. and sometimes we dont even qualify if we get fired.

Same here in Indiana, better to check before leaving that job, or,go,find another job while your still working.
