let's say a person moves, are they able to collect unemployment in the new state until they find another job?♥

Question

i know they say if you quit working you can't, but if you quit because of a move is that different?......just in case my type of employment is available immediately......♥

that snotty attitude is not necessary. i do work . i have all my life. i'm wanting to move back to my hometown after the first of the year and am checking into all possibilities for a safety net purpose. i do have a child to feed. it's in case i don't get a job right away. i'm trying to plan ahead. i don't know why i'm even bothering explaining this. apparently your ignorance shines through in the choice of your vocabulary!

Answer 1

If you quit your job, then i don't think you can collect. If you are laid off however, depending upon the reason for the seperation you can. Usually you have to have worked at the particular company for at least 6 months and they take into consideration your highest quarter, or highest two quarters (depending on length of employment) of income to determine what benefit amount in terms of dollars be-weekly you are entitled to.

If you were already on unemployment, and are thusly considering a move to a different state....... (because of whatever reasons) it may be possible for you to continue to collect (transfer UC benefits) until you are able to find work, but it depends heavily on the Laws and regulations concerning it.

Go to your state website...... ((www. state. [yourstate] .us OR www. [your state] .us. etc)) and keyword unemployment; there will be a list of regulations as well as Labour Laws and Laws concerning unemployemt compensation. If the answer to this question is not on there (listed) there will be a link to the main (national) unemployment number (Claims informations centre) ... which i think is [phone]
there should also be an 1 800 number for convienence; they can also direct you to (or provide you) with the telephone number to the State Agency of which you reside that handles UC claims as well. You can ask them the conditions of this, explaining your situation.

I've no doubt you work hard in rebuttal to the moron that told you to get a job. Unemployment is not something that is fun for an individual to have to be on, but it is also something that we as working individuals pay into with our taxes and is there as a service in the event that we are terminated from a place of emplyment for any number of reasons. it is not to be abused, but it is there for our benefit; that's why we pay into it while we are working.
Jobs are also at a minimum despite how many are out there and available. This person obvioulsy had no clue as to what he/she was speaking about thusly indicating his/her own ignorance concerning the fact. Ignore them.

Check the website (of your particular state) or call the telephone number provided, and ask your question there. Maybe it is possible for you. Good Luck to you.

Answer 2

Um I think it depends on why you are moving. I moved from state to state but I was already collecting unemployment so I just had it transferred. I think you would need to try to collect first from the state you are in now.....and then transfer it because you haven't put any money "into" the state you are moving to.

Answer 3

I asked that question to the unemployment agency, mine was that if I quit my job to move in with my parents because one of them was ill would I be able to collect until I found a job there. All they kept saying was "apply and see if they approve you".

Answer 4

No if you resign from your job your not intitled to any unemployment, however if you are laid off from employment you can recieve funds as long as you were employed for a minimum of 6 mnths. Hope this helps☺

Answer 5

I live in England and there are places to go for information; Citizens Advice Bureau etc.
Surely there must be some equivalent in the US?
You need to know you are secure if you move.
Sorry I can't be helpful; UK and US legislation is sooo different.
