If your last job was in Pennsylvania, that is where you should file for unemployment. That state, asking for your work history during it's required "base period", will contact New Jersey (or any other prior state during that base period) for their information and each state will contribute to the benefit as it fits their "liability". This all is due to the interstate agreements regarding a person's employment benefits. Normal "base periods" are the first 4 of the last 5 completed calendar quarters prior to your applying for benefits.

My boss said i was laid off but when you got your paper the owner said i had quit?

1.) Go to the boss and get it corrected. 2.) If he says he will NOT correct it, contact your State Unemployment Office (if you live in the USA) IMMEDIATELY and explain your situation. File for your unemployment benefits. If the boss resists, the government will step in and check out the dispute. People who "quit" cannot get unemployment benefits ($$$$$), people who are "laid off" CAN get unemployment benefits ($$$$$).
