Something sounds wrong here and should be checked into. In ALL states, the employers, not the employees, pay the unemployment taxes based on the wages the employer pays his workers. Also, only the state of Pennsylvania should be involved.
Yes, you would file in New Jersey because it is the "liable state" that collected your employer's taxes to pay for your benefits.
“I won gambling money in New Jersey but live in Pennsylvania, how do I report this?? ”
Under the Interstate Unemployment Agreement provisions you could file in either, but preferably in New York since it is the "liable state" which collected the unemployment taxes from your employer.

Answer:You file for unemployment from the "liable state" which collects the unemployment insurance from the employer you worked for. In this case, the "liable state" is New York. If you work 18 months only in New York, but live outside the state, you MUST file with New York. If you worked in 2 or more states, you can file in any of them, or even combine your earnings from several employers. See the Related Link below for more details.

Yes you will report the unemployment payment amount that you received on your New York income tax return and could owe some taxes on the amount of UI received as a resident of NY.

I worked in NY for 6 months. I live in New Jersey. I was told by NJ Unemployment when I tried to claim benefits that I would have to claim my unemployment benefits in the State of NY.
You file for unemployment from the "liable state" which collects the unemployment insurance from the employer you worked for. In this case, the "liable state" is New York. You can file in Pennsylvania, as the "agent state", but it is New York that Pennsylvania would contact in your behalf.
