So what if your weekly benefit rate is $306? That means you could work part time and earn up to $305.99 per week and still collect your full weekly unemployment benefits? You can earn up to 20% of your weekly benefit without any reduction in benefit, After that, the benefit is reduced by the amount earned in excess of 20%. So, if your weekly benefit was $306, you could earn up to $61.20 and still receive the full $306 benefit. If you earned $62.20 (one dollar more than 20% of the benefit), you would receive $305 in unemployment benefits (the full benefit reduced by one dollar). If you earned $305.99, your benefit would be reduced by $244.79 (305.99-61.20) and you would receive a benefit of $61.21 (306-244.79).
No, you must be able and available to work and since you are in jail, you can't work if a job was offered to you. People do commit fraud by having someone outside file their weekly benefit if the state has an automated system, but then generally it catches up with them and now they have a fraud overpayment and other consequences.
It depends. Your last employer has the option to deny benefits if you were terminated for a good reason, ie. insubordination, drug use, or some other offense. Should the employer attempt to deny benefits you can appeal and explain your side of the case. Always appeal if you get denied. Many employers do not have the time or inclination to fight it. If they they don't show up, you win.
To qualify, it must be related to the job or domestic violence. See the Related Link below for details under "Requirements for Payment - Quit"
yes
no . never .
Unemployment benefits may be garnished to collect child support, but it seems unlikely that someone in jail would be eligible for unemployment benefits.
One qualifies for unemployment ONLY while available to work AND actively seeking work. Folks in jail cannot work, so they are disqualified from unemployment benefits.
If I work a part-time perdiem job doing home healthcare and the client I have been assigned to has stopped services, am I eligible to collect unemployment
No. To be eligible you have to, among other criteria, be able to seek full time employment which you would not be able to do while in jail.
My husband can't remember if he did collect or not from NJ and we're trying to find how we can find out online.
Unemployment is designed for those ready, willing, and able to work, a status which you clearly do not hold if you are incarcerated. The penalty for lying or misrepresenting yourself to receive unemployment benefits can be severe and is known as benefits fraud - it may include fines and jail time.
yes. nannies can actually collect unemployment
When they do, they will fine you, take back what you were paid, prevent you from collecting in the future, and possibly send you to jail for unemployment fraud. Do you want to chance that? Better to find out how much they will allow you to earn if you want to still collect benefits, which they may do in certain cases.
You can, but unemployment will deduct the amount from your unemployment benefits
No. You can't collect unemployment anywhere for merely retiring.
