Claiming unemployment?

Question

My husband is going to be getting out of the military soon due to medical injuries, he plans to claim unemployment. Would he be claiming through the state we currently live in, or does it work differently cause he would be a former government employee? What would happen to the payment if we were to move out of state after his discharge? How long could he expect to get unemployment for and how is the payment percentage calulated? Thanks in advance!

He isn't claiming unemployment due to disabilities. He is claiming because he will be getting discharged out of the military and not have a job.

Answer 1

I dunno how it works in USA but here in the UK if you have to leave your job because of injuries then you are entitled to 'Disability benefit"...which is a lot more than unemployment (nearly 3 times as much)...
Anyway...the best thing to do is to pop in your local jobcentre!!
good luck...

Answer 2

Unemployment comp generally lasts for six months if you don't find a job sooner than that. You have to be able to work, so if his injuries that are his reason for getting out of the military prevent him from working, he might not be eligible for unemployment comp. They look at the reason you left your last job, among other things, to decide whether you're eligible. To collect, you are required to be able to work, and looking for work.

The amount varies depending on the state, how much you made in a certain time, usually the previous year, and sometimes on how many dependents you have. The last person I knew who became eligible got about half of former salary. There's generally a cap that's the most you can get.

You generally put in the claim in the state you're living in, and they handle getting the claim to the right place, like another state if you've just moved. I don't know if there's anything special for ex-military.

Answer 3

He should file at the State unemployment office nearest your home. Even though he was a government employee, the Federal government does not have an unemployment office which dispenses benefits.

I suggest that you look in the phone book, contact the local office and speak to the "veteran's representative". S/he will be glad to answer your questions.

Answer 5

Its about 60% of his pay that he'll recieve. It should last 2-3 months. If u move out of state you can still get it just give correct mailing address.. Military payments may be different.

Answer 6

you CAN NOT collect unemployment for injuries....He could collect Disability, and the way our government wastes money-How many Billions did we already spend looking for weapons of mass destruction in Iraq? Did we even find a Paper clip and rubber band in the same room yet???? (you know...that could cause a mighty big sore, or maybe put an eye out). He should collect it forever

Answer 7

The unemployment office itself would be able to answer those questions. You will probably need to talk to someone.

Answer 8

If it is due to injuries then he should be getting disability, not unemployment.
Unemployment is temporary disability is usually permanent and will follow you no matter where you move.
