HR4213 allows you to continue to collect your original benefit if opening a new claim year reduces your benefit by $100/week or 25%.
You need to
talk to someone at PA about this. Call, or better yet, VISIT one of their offices. Mistakes are made all the time by the UEC people and it is possible the rep processing your 'second claim year' either didn't know about HR4213 or made an error. PA is quite liberal when it comes to paying unemployment benefits, so it is important to know WHY they are not complying with the options available to you in HR4213.
Here is text from HR4213. It reads "if permitted by state law" . . .
Quote:
(1) If—
‘‘(A) an individual has been determined to be entitled
to emergency unemployment compensation with respect
to a benefit year,
‘‘(B) that benefit year has expired,
‘‘(C) that individual has remaining entitlement to emergency
unemployment compensation with respect to that
benefit year, and
‘‘(D) that individual would qualify for a new benefit
year in which the weekly benefit amount of regular compensation
is at least either $100 or 25 percent less than
the individual’s weekly benefit amount in the benefit year
referred to in subparagraph (A),
then the State shall determine eligibility for compensation as
provided in paragraph (2).
‘‘(2) For individuals described in paragraph (1), the State
shall determine whether the individual is to be paid emergency
unemployment compensation or regular compensation for a
week of unemployment using one of the following methods:
‘‘(A) The State shall, if permitted by State law, establish
a new benefit year, but defer the payment of regular
compensation with respect to that new benefit year until
exhaustion of all emergency unemployment compensation
payable with respect to the benefit year referred to in
paragraph (1)(A);
‘‘(B) The State shall, if permitted by State law, defer
the establishment of a new benefit year (which uses all
the wages and employment which would have been used
to establish a benefit year but for the application of this
paragraph), until exhaustion of all emergency unemployment
compensation payable with respect to the benefit
year referred to in paragraph(1)(A);
‘‘(C) The State shall pay, if permitted by State law—
‘‘(i) regular compensation equal to the weekly benefit
amount established under the new benefit year,
and
‘‘(ii) emergency unemployment compensation equal
to the difference between that weekly benefit amount
and the weekly benefit amount for the expired benefit
year; or
‘‘(D) The State shall determine rights to emergency
unemployment compensation without regard to any rights
to regular compensation if the individual elects to not file
a claim for regular compensation under the new benefit
year.’’.

Quitting a job is often a good reason for denial of benefits. Check your state website for PA allowable reasons.
