You wish!! If you are on unemployment in Georgia, but now live in Tennessee, you would apply for unemployment in Tennessee. Your records would transfer and you would be paid in the state where you live.Another answer:You can only draw unemployment from the "liable state", Georgia in your case, because that is the state that your employer paid the unemployment taxes, through the payroll taxes, to. You might file with Tennessee, but they would only be helping you receive the benefits from Georgia.

What is a base period employer?
Unemployment compensation is usually paid on the basis of wages earned in the "base period", which is generally the first 4 quarters of the last 5 quarters of wages completed. A "base period employer" is one you worked for in that period, who's account would be charged by the unemployment office through unemployment taxes. There could be more than one employer with that designation, depending on how many you worked for. Employers pay smaller taxes if their turnover rate is low as an incentive to retain employees.
