High v. Unemployment Compensation Board of Review

In High v. Unemployment Compensation Board of Review, 505 Pa. 379, 383, 479 A.2d 967, 969 (1984), the Supreme Court held that "each week of unemployment is the subject of a separate claim, the validity of which is determined by a consideration of conditions existing within that week" for which benefits were claimed. Attenberger v. Unemployment Compensation Bd. of Review, 682 A.2d 68 n.3 (Pa. Cmwlth. 1996). Under High, Claimant's unemployment benefits must be determined on a week-by-week basis which would preclude this Court from looking at any increase in Claimant's base pension that might become apparent after he reaches the age of 62. Instead, the conditions that existed here were such that Claimant immediately began receiving a total monthly pension in the amount of $ 2,950 beginning August 1, 2006, which necessitates a determination of unemployment compensation benefit on that basis.
