how can an employer benefit from a merit-rating system for state umenployment
Yes. Although the state where you work is the "liable state" (the one which pays the benefit), you can file where you live, for example, and that state would act as your "agent state" and assist you in receiving the unemployment benefit.
The unemployment taxes (which are paid ONLY by the businesses) paid into the state's unemployment benefit fund, are decided by each state as to terms and conditions.
The maximum unemployment benefit you can receive in the state of Virginia is $358. In order to receive this amount you have to have worked and earned an acceptable amount of money in the qualifying quarters.
Your marital status is irrelevant. You receive unemployment benefits based on your states laws. No state discriminates based on your marital status.
Unemployment benefits extended in the 2009 economic stimulus planPreviously, unemployed workers were eligible for 26 weeks of unemployment benefits. As as result of this bill, unemployment benefits was extended by 20 weeks regardless of which state they live in. In some higher-unemployment states such as California, there will be another 13 weeks of unemployment benefits available as well.Total weeks of unemployment available:Low-unemployment state - eligible for 46 weeks of benefits.High-unemployment state - eligible for 59 weeks of benefits.Increased unemployment benefits by $25 per week.Although it varies from from state to state, the average unemployment benefit payout will be increased by $25 to about $325 per week. Your claim lasts for one year, but the full amount is 26 times the weekly benefit amount, currently at $405 max.
When your benefit year runs out you can apply for an extension. The unemployment office will determine if you qualify and should apply for the federal or state extended benefits. The best thing to do is to contact your local unemployment office to determine what the next step is.
If your benefit period has expired AND you have created a new work history as required by your state's unemployment office laws, then you would be eligible in most states.
Depending on your state's rulings, it is possible if the reason for leaving this job is acceptable to the state and if you still had benefit time left on your previous unemployment benefits.
Yes, if you had qualified for the benefit and complied with Massachusetts' requirements on moving out of state.
