If you had enough weeks paid in and your average income makes you eligible and if the school system you worked for does not dispute your claim. I am a substitute teacher and have gotten unemployment for the past two summers, but I also worked another non-school job, but I did not have enough income from my non-school job to draw unemployment alone...so the combined amounts made it possible. It's always best to apply and see what happens.
If you have a contract for the next year you can't collect unemployment. You have a job. You can retire after a certain number of years in the system and at a certain age.
I'm pretty positive he/she cannot. I live in Trenton, NJ, and my once-aspiring unemployment hopes during the summer break are quickly vanishing.
No, if you substitute teach in Michigan, you are a seasonal employee with a "reasonable chance" of returning to substitute teach with school breaks and summer breaks in between work time. You can, however, be eligible for unemployment benefits if you are laid-off from a full-time teaching position.
This state has so many different rules that you will need to go to the state employment office and ask them.
Usually, teachers are paid a salary and cannot collect unemployment between school terms, but you can check with your unemployment office. If you are paid hourly, it might be possible to collect benefits. Again, check with your unemployment office or ask the school administrators if it is possible to collect unemployment. The school can probably tell you. Another answer: I doubt it, but call or email your unemployment department. I am a retired teacher who subs during the school year and tried to collect unemployment in the summer. They paid me, but then decided that I didn't earn it so I had to pay it back. There is a law that has been passed that prohibits teachers from unemployment, but I am not sure if this a federal law or state.
Note: this answer is not specific to New Jersey, but is how it works in most states. If this actually has a financial impact on you, you should contact the state's unemployment office for a definitive answer. For days they aren't called in during the school year, yes. Over the summer break, no, unless they have qualifying income from some other job, in which case they may be able to collect unemployment based on that income.
Teachers in Florida can only collect unemployment if they were let go at the end of the school year. If the teacher will continue to be employed during the next school year then they are considered to still be employed. Teachers in Florida typically continue to receive pay checks during the summer.
You can not collect unemployment if you are retired or working.
I think it depends on which state you live in. Check with your employers.
Because a teacher is technically not unemployed, because their contract says they return to work when school resumes, they would not be eligible. This is how most, if not all states operate regarding teachers, unfortunately.
If you are looking for actual unemployment insurance (in case you're fired or laid off), then your employer is responsible for this. Your employer must pay into the state unemployment fund. If, your employer is a non-profit organization such as a religious school, etc., then the employer would probably not pay into the unemployment fund, so there is no unemployment insurance available for employees of this type of organization. It is also important to mention that, depending on the state, substitute teachers who work only September through June may be eligible for unemployment benefits during the summer. Check with your local unemployment office for more information. In most cases, teachers are eligible for the same benefits as any other worker if the benefits are available. From what I researched, substitute teacher's in California cannot receive unemployment benefits when they have "reasonable assurance" to work the following school year. However in the Los Angeles School District says it different. They have 2 ways of doing it. Please check out their website in the Related Link below, or go to the second Related Link below and on the left hand side, click substitute. Their web page says "When you call to start your claim, it is imperative that you tell the EDD representative that you are a 'Year Round' Substitute Teacher." The second solution: Once on the web page, download the substitute handbook. This handbooks says "When you call to start your claim, it is imperative that you tell the EDD representative that as as Substitute Teacher you do not have "reasonable assurance" to return to work, and they should refer to the EDD's procedures for the year 2005-2006, Unemployment Insurance Project Notice (UIPN #05-038). This will clarify your status as a Substitute Teacher who is eligible for unemployment benefits. This will eliminate the need for a follow-up phone interview. If the representative is not familiar with these new EDD procedures and inform you you are scheduled for a phone interview, ask to speak to a supervisor.
you can get unemployment benefits 26 weeks per claim. 1 claim per year.
