Davila v. Unemployment Compensation Board of Review

In Davila v. Unemployment Compensation Board of Review, 926 A.2d 1287 (Pa. Cmwlth. 2007), the claimant retired "pursuant to the terms of the DROP program" at issue in that case. Id. at 1288. The claimant then applied for unemployment compensation benefits arguing that, due to her participation in the DROP program, she had necessitous and compelling cause to quit her employment. The Court held that the claimant's only reason for retirement was that she participated in the DROP program and that, had she not participated in the program, continuing work would have been available for her. Therefore, the Court affirmed the Board's decision to deny benefits.
