To my understanding, if you were fired, you can only receive unemployment if you were not At Fault. I was fired today & just filed a claim online. I will receive my 1st check next Wednesday. Just prepare a good excuse as a backup, just in case you're ever taken to a trial.
yes i believe nys only denies your claim if there were poor attendance issues or you quit.
Generally, unemployment benefits are paid by the state in which you worked. If you live in Connecticut and work in New York you most likely collect unemployment benefits from the state of New York.
no
I know you can in Washington State. My friend did it after his tour in Iraq. I am not exactly sure on the rules in NY though. Check with your local unemployment agency.
From my knowledge you can apply the day after you are fired and shouls receive some form of payment in about 4-6 weeks.
State unemployment insurance (SUI)
It would be for the state you worked in, you can not draw unemployment from a state other than the one you worked in.
Notice, no notice, doesn't really matter. In most cases you're under no actual legal obligation to give notice, it's just considered a polite thing to do. It could affect your recommendations, if ex-employers still gave recommendations these days, which as a general rule they don't. What is important as regards unemployment is that you quit. That means being unemployed was your choice, and the rule of thumb here is that that means you don't get to collect unemployment. You can check with your state's unemployment office. If you quit because your employer was deliberately making your job miserable in order to force you to quit (note that you'll have to prove this, and you'll have to prove that this wasn't just "my boss made me do my job and my job sucks" but "), then that's called "constructive dismissal" and it's usually treated as far as unemployment is concerned as if you were fired, so that you might be able to collect unemployment.
I worked in NY for 6 months. I live in New Jersey. I was told by NJ Unemployment when I tried to claim benefits that I would have to claim my unemployment benefits in the State of NY.
You can generally still collect unemployment while collecting social security, unless it is social security disability...even then you still might be able to. I worked for the Unemployment Office & just an FYI, they do not know if you are on social security and are unable to check, so if you do not say anything, they will never know.
There is no unemployment office for Nassau County. Unemployment Insurance is provided by New York State, and they do not receive applications for unemployment insurance in person, only by phone or online.
Under the Interstate Unemployment Agreement provisions you could file in either, but preferably in New York since it is the "liable state" which collected the unemployment taxes from your employer.
