Teachers in Florida can only collect unemployment if they were let go at the end of the school year. If the teacher will continue to be employed during the next school year then they are considered to still be employed. Teachers in Florida typically continue to receive pay checks during the summer.

Teachers are only paid for 10 months, we sign a 10 month, not a 12 month contract, and we have to find a summer job and part time jobs don't pay much.

States establish laws pertaining to unemployment benefits.

In some states teachers are eligible to receive unemployment benefits during school breaks, other states have strict eligibility requirements and still others do not allow teachers to collect benefits.

The interested party might wish to contact their teacher's union representative or the division of state government that handles such matters in their state of residency.

In Canada, it depends on whether or not you have a continuing contract. If you do, you can't draw unemployment; you are expected to prepare for it. Even if you don't have a continuing contract (but do expect work again in Sept.) there is a 5- 6 week waiting period, so it's not really worth it.

I find it frustrating that the states differ. I l applied in 07 and was denied. I did not appeal. The following year, another sub told me she was getting benefits, so I applied again. This time the benefits were allowed. The following year '08, I also was able to collect unemployment during the summer. This year after being denied, I was paid for 4 weeks (the payments came the same day I sent in the appeal (go figure) then after my appeal was reviewed, the "not eligible" determination was upheld and they asked me to return the payments. I am appealing again in more detail. Nothing changed from previous years, but they now state a "reasonable assurance" reason. I did not sign a contract. I think all subs should be able to collect unemployment when there is no work during the summer and no jobs available. We go for months with out a check. We pay into this fund and should be able to benefit from it when we need to. I will return to this site to leave a comment after I get the answer from this second appeal. There is no sub representation in the teacher's union to my knowledge where I live.

Generally speaking no, though they can usually get unemployment for days during the school year they don't get called in. In some cases, they may be able to collect unemployment during summer break if they had qualifying income from something other than substitute teaching.

In effect, they're treated as seasonal employees, who have a reasonable expectation of being rehired once the "season" (the school year) reopens.

In many cases, teachers (not substitutes) can collect unemployment during summer break. The bottom line here is that US States have different regulations regarding unemployment payments.

Generally speaking, substitutes can collect unemployment any day they are available for work and don't get called in. This means NOT during summer break, since there's no work for them to be available for. If they have income other than from substituting during their eligibility period, then they may be able to collect unemployment.

This is a general answer based on states I'm familiar with. I suspect, but am not certain, that it's the same in Pennsylvania. If you're just curious, that's probably "good enough." If it actually makes a difference to you, then you should contact the state unemployment office for a definitive answer.

In general ... and you should contact your local unemployment office if you're in this situation to be certain ... substitute teachers can collect unemployment during the school year for days they're not called.

They usually cannot collect unemployment during summer break, since school employment is regarded as "seasonal" and being unemployed in the summer is "normal" for that profession.

Many states have passed laws that stopped seasonal workers from receiving unemployment benefits. Because of this many school janitors have to find other employment during summer months.

Can part time Georgia teachers collect unemployment compensation between school terms?

Usually, teachers are paid a salary and cannot collect unemployment between school terms, but you can check with your unemployment office. If you are paid hourly, it might be possible to collect benefits. Again, check with your unemployment office or ask the school administrators if it is possible to collect unemployment. The school can probably tell you. Another answer: I doubt it, but call or email your unemployment department. I am a retired teacher who subs during the school year and tried to collect unemployment in the summer. They paid me, but then decided that I didn't earn it so I had to pay it back. There is a law that has been passed that prohibits teachers from unemployment, but I am not sure if this a federal law or state.

both my brother and sister are teachers in Florida. Teachers there, have the option of getting paid on a 9 month salary or 12 month salary. hence, if you get paid on a 9 month salary, you get more in your paycheck, but don't collect any paycheck over the summer months.
