Yes, some states do provide for this event, but you have to check with the state you work in to determine if you are eligible.
Many states do make allowances for spouses to follow when the other has to relocate. Check with your own state to get clarification.
yes
Generally yes you would be eligible. You would file for unemployment & cite this reason. The unemployment office will schedule you for an adjudication interview in which time you will provide them with transfer documentation or new hire documents which state your husbands job offer information. The date in which you moved has to be proximate to the date your husband started his new job. For example, if you furnish documentation that states your husband was offered his job May of last year & you just now moved, this will raise a red flag. The other piece of information that the unemployment office will evaluate is the reason you provided to your employer for quitting. They will contact the employer & if the employer provides a written statement from you giving 2 weeks notice so you can further your education in school, that will not go over well. However, if you stated you quit to relocate due to your husbands job & you can get the documentation from your husband, then you should be approved with no problems providing that you are otherwise eligible.
Look at the definition of "Good cause" in the Related Link below to see if your situation meets the requirement to be eligible for unemployment benefits.
Im in the same boat! you get any anwsers or did you do this?
In Texas, employees are eligible for benefits if they voluntarily leave a job due to pregnancy.
An employer can't deny unemployment benefits; only your state's unemployment office and approve or deny unemployment benefits. It's up you state to determine if you are eligible to receive benefits.
You could be eligible for unemployment benefits if you are discharged for refusing work during a shift you have never worked or agreed to work for the employer.
Can I collect unemployment benefits if I were laid off by my spouse who's a business is a sole proprietorship and files form 1040 schedule C?
Probably not. In general you can only get unemployment if you lose your job through no fault of your own. If your workplace is unsafe, file a complaint with the Mass state labor commission and/or OSHA. If you think you have a case against your employer, contact a real lawyer. Don't get legal advice from strangers on the internet :)
Yes, it is possible. When your income is reduced from what your hiring was agreed to, you can be eligible for partial unemployment benefits. What needs to be determined by the state is whether the reason for the demotion disqualifies you.
First you need to apply for unemployment benefits. If you are otherwise eligible for benefits it will depend on the reason you were terminated from your last & sometimes your next to last employer. If you were let go because you exhausted your leave and no other leaves were available to you, then usually you will be eligible. The catch 22 is that if you are still unable to work due to this medical condition or unavailable for work due to caring for someone ill, then you can be disqualified for being unable or unavailable to work. To be eligible for benefits one must be able and available to seek and accept immediate full time work.
Because unemployment compensation is, at least, Federal income taxable, if during the year you have other income which puts you in a taxable bracket, and you overpaid your taxes, then like any other tax payer you would be entitled to a refund.
Depending on the interpretation, the below Related Link, Illinois U.I. Act, part XI (Claimant Benefits), Section F.1., seem to say that if you left work voluntarily due to not being physically able to perform the work (with physician's certification to that effect), you might be eligible for unemployment. Otherwise, if it was work related injury/illness you might be eligible for workers compensation.
