Question: "To claim PTC does the qt wallet need to be connected online all the time? Or after claiming can I turn if off?"

Answer: No, once a claim has been sent to the network and has been marked as accepted, you do not have to run your node. Your client will show an X on the claim in case it thinks it has not been accepted, in which case you could simply re-send it.
