Best Answer

Someone who lost a payroll employee job, and otherwise qualifies for UI benefits, gets UI and then becomes an independent contractor somewhere else? No problem. She must report all income earned, and may have UI benefits offset.

Someone WAS a non-employee contractor, and lost the assignment? Zero UI benefits from the lost assignment: she was never an employee. Employers pay no UI tax on non-employees, so they get no benefits.

Can a care giver collect unemployment?

Questions about whether or not you can collect unemployment are best directed to your local unemployment office. The regulations vary by state.In general, if you were a caregiver working as an employee of a company then you probably can. If you were a caregiver working as an independent contractor then probably not. There's a way independent contractors can participate in the unemployment program, but if you had been doing that you would already know about it and wouldn't have asked your question.If you're a caregiver now, otherwise unemployed, and are wondering if you can still collect unemployment, then you may be able to collect some unemployment benefits. Again, you should contact your local unemployment office (you will almost certainly have to go in rather than calling) for details.

When moving to North Carolina can you collect unemployment until you find a job not collecting unemployment in Rhode Island now?

When I moved from Massachusetts to NC in 1990 I was not able to collect due to the fact that I left my job in Mass voluntarily and was not laid off. If you were laid off in RI you might be able to collect but you should have opened a unemployment claim in RI first. <><> If you weren't already collecting it in Rhode Island, nor were eligible to, you also cannot collect in in North Carolina because it is not the "liable" state, in which you had a work history.
