Yes you can. See the Related Link below, under "Dateline: Q & A".
In Illinois you do not report your severance pay to unemployment.I did this and it just delayed my benefits, they did hellp me straighten it out and i continued to get unemployment benefits
: I found out part of this answer...if you file before your severance is fully paid out, you risk having unemployment not give you benefits for those weeks. Additionally, those weeks will be 'wasted'since a claim begins on the week filing takes place. Also important, if you are awarded from unemployment say, $12,000 and you filed before severance is complete, they will reduce your benefit amount by the amount of your severance. For instance, if you're getting $3,000 in severance, unemployment will reduce your total claim to $9,000. : However, some employers' severance is not considered as such by unemployment...there is an investigation and it may be determined that these wages are not technically severance after all. The above info was obtained by an unemployment representative. This same answer was posted by me in the discussion area as well...it would be interesting to see any other information on this subject.
Yes, you can collect both severance pay and Unemployment IF the severance pay is not considered an extension of your employment, under the terms of the severance agreement. For more information on the subject, see the Related Link below.
Yes, PROVIDING you are selling your OWN possessions and are not doing it as a business.
I did. I received lump sum severance and collected unemployment in NYC. Of course, the regular one week waiting period for unemployment still goes so make sure to apply immediately. Actually, if you think about it, a lump sum payment is really part of your compensation package, so as long you don't keep receiving a paycheck after that, then why shouldn't you be entitled to unemployment like everyone else? I imagine it would be different if you cotinue to receive a paycheck every week for a specified amount of time after you were let go though...
You would file your claim with the "liable state", Tennessee, but you might ask Arkansas to assist you in collecting the benefits.
Yes.
No in most cases you can not claim unemployment .
The state you perform your work in is the "liable state", the state that pays your unemployment benefits. No matter whether you live in the state you work in, or even if the company's headquarters are in another, you get your benefits from where you work.
Tennessee, not the federal government, pays the unemployment benefits and thus sets the terms for qualifying. There must be some aspect of your claim to cause this, because unemployment benefits normally follow the worker. It might have to do with why you left the job, because that alone would not qualify you. You need to contact Tennessee's employment security office for clarification of their actions.
That number is teleserve. Its the number you call to claim biweekly unemployment benefits.
No. An owner of a company would be considered self-employed, as opposed to a wage earner working for someone else. Under "General Eligibility" of the below Related Link, self-employed people are not eligible for unemployment compensation.
