AFAIK, Social Security has no impact on your ability to file bankruptcy. In fact, Social Security is excluded from the "means test", so unless you have substantial other income you should be able to file Chapter 7.
Most likely. Filing for bankruptcy does not mean that it will automatically be granted. There is a process in which the court evaluates your debt versus your assets/income. Your unemployment benefits will be calculated into this equation.
Yes you can. You just need to report the unemployment income when you file your bankruptcy.
Yes. Bankruptcy status does not interfere with a person's ability to collect Social Security or unemployment benefits.
Sure, the BK is not a factor and won't even be anything the UI cares or knows about.
I wish if I knew the answer
No. They are still on the team so the can't file for unemployment.
I can't answer it but I like pies.
Anytime that you need unemployment benefits you have to refile. When you refile you will be advised if you are eligible for benefits. Sometimes you will reopen an existing claim if it is within the same base period that you were collecting in previously, in which case your unemployment amount will remain the same. However, if you have exhausted your previous benefits and not eligible to open an extension, then the unemployment office will use the new base period, and based on the work that you have completed, you may or may not qualify. File asap, because many states will not allow you to backdate your unemployment to when you first became unemployed. You can always file, but you may not qualify.
You file for unemployment benefits in the state where you work. It's called the "liable state" because it collects payroll taxes from the businesses in that state and in turn pays the benefits to the workers there who have lost their jobs.
If you mean that you currently are receiving unemployment and are wondering about when you next certify for benefits, its every two weeks.
Unemployment benefits are paid by your state, so benefit checks will not be effected by bankruptcy.
As a freelancer, you are not entitled to the same benefits an employee enjoys and this include unemployment benefits. If you have recently been laid off from your office work, you may do so.
If you file bankruptcy, you file bankruptcy on everything. You can not file bankruptcy on one loan.
Not only can you file a tax return with just unemployment benefits, but in some cases you have to. Unemployment benefits are considered income, and as long as your income is greater than the filing threshold, you have to file a return. For 2012 the filing thresholds are $9,750 for single filers and $19,500 for a married couple. You should get a 1099-G [Certain Government Payments] summarizing all of the benefits you received throughout the entire tax year.
By definition, filing for any benefits, etc for "unemployment" when you are actually employed is deception and is therefore CRIMINAL.
