--If she got layed off or fired---I see nothing wrong about collecting unemployment
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.
Call your unemployment office. I am in CA and tried this and a law was passed that teachers can't claim unemployment in CA. I ended up paying back what they sent me by mistake.
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 your teacher's retirement is classified as a pension, you need to contact your unemployment office for clarification. Certain pensions may reduce the amount of unemployment benefits a person receives.
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.
It really all depends on your union contract language. In southern CA, in my specific school district, we can get receive unemployment benefits even if you resigned. Contact your personnell office or the union president. They should have an answer! It really all depends on your union's contract language.

both my brother and sister are teachers in Florida. Teachers there, have the option of getting paid on a 9 month salary or 12 month salary. hence, if you get paid on a 9 month salary, you get more in your paycheck, but don't collect any paycheck over the summer months. A teacher who is full time, salaried, and under contract does not and cannot collect unemployment for the summer months.
Looks like right now you can get 26 weeks of unemployment assuming you have enough benefits to collect the full 26 weeks. And if you are eligible you can qualify for an additional 33 weeks of emergency unemployment benefits.
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.
No. In the school setting, as long as you expect to return when school resumes, you are not considered unemployed
This state has so many different rules that you will need to go to the state employment office and ask them.
