Yes. There are four states that will offset your Social Security against your unemployment benefits, but all the rest will pay compensation in spite of the Social Security. As long as you qualify under your state's rules concerning unemployment you're safe to go!

No. You only collect unemployment benefits from the "liable state" (which collected payroll taxes from the employer an applicant had worked for).

Can you get unemployment if you worked for a nonprofit organization in Ohio?

Religious nonprofits have the option to not pay unemployment to the state. If they choose not to pay unemployment then the employee cannot collect unemployment. If they do pay unemployment costs to the state then the employee can collect unemployment benefits. Nonreligious organizations do have to pay unemployment, but they can pay the state one of two ways. As a state tax rated employer (same as a for profit company) or as a direct reimbursurer. In this case the employee is able to collect unemployment benefits. Referenced from www.chooseust.com
