Yes, in California, anyway, a laid-off teacher can collect unemployment. They can apply after their first day of unemployment. There is usually a waiting period of two weeks, then they receive a check. Then they fill out a form every two weeks stating either they have not worked, have not been too sick to work, refused work and have looked for work OR have worked whether or not they have been paid, and the amount they have earned, whether or not they have received their pay. Unless tenured, and receiving paychecks every month during the school year even when school is not in session, most teachers have no absolute certainty of having their employment begin again in the fall. Most likely it will, and then they will start to report the income, at which time unemployment checks will cease. They also must be aware of taxes due on unemployment income, which can be deducted from each unemployment check, so that there is no surprise when taxes are due in April. This has saved our family from financial disaster the past two years.

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.
