Do you need to tell your employer that you are collecting unemployment benefits?

It would be a good idea...an even better one is to notify your state's employment security office that you are working. While the state may allow you to work part time for a partial unemployment check, you're required to report all income you receive.

What must an employer say for you to get unemployment?
An employer does not need to respond to unemployment agency investigators for you to get unemployment. It's only when they answer in the negative that you might have difficulty getting your benefits, if they can prove their case.
In an unemployment case what proof does an employer need for you not to get benefits?
Evidence that you did not work the day you claim to have been injured, or that you were not injured while at work.
If you move out of California can you still collect unemployment benefits?

How do you transfer unemployment from Florida to Colorado?
Because Florida is the "liable" state (where your employer had paid your ;payroll taxes to), your unemployment benefits would continue to be paid by that state. You need to contact Florida's employment security office for information on continuing to receive your benefits.
In Minnesota can you collect unemployment and work?
It depends. If you are collecting unemployment, you need to report your earnings when you work.
If an employer deducts 35 percent from your paycheck can you draw unemployment benefits?
An employer should never deduct anything from your paycheck for unemployment benefits. They have to pay the state you work in a payroll tax based on what they pay the employees, etc. You need to ask what the 35% is for, as it may be Social Security, Medicare, etc. which is not involved with unemployment benefits. If/when you lose your job, your benefits will depend on your work history, and other matters the state uses to determine your eligibility. Check with your state's employment office for clarification.
If you are collecting nys unemployment benefits try a job for one day and find its not a good fit can you continue to collect?
You will need to report the income earned to the unemployment bureau. They will likely reduce your benefits by that amount. So, if you earned $100 your unemployment check for that week will be $100 less. Failure to report the income can result in criminal prosecution for fraud.
If you are moving your house within Florida but 120 miles away will you be able to collect unemployment?
If you already receive unemployment benefits, you only need to notify the unemployment office about change of address. If you are quitting your job, through no fault of your employer, then it would be considered a voluntary quit and you would not be eligible for unemployment.
If you quit a part time job so you can collect unemployment due to the loss of your primary income and your part time employer does not inform you that you will lose your unemployment benefits?
The unemployment benefits in all states are intended as insurance for the "non-voluntary" loss of employment, i.e., layoff or RIFs [Reductions in Force]That means, with a very few exceptions for extraordinary circumstances, that if a person VOLUNTARILY QUITS a job, then that individual IS NOT ELIGIBLE for unemployment benefits.The employer paid, payroll based, "premium" money "paid" to the states is only barely enough to cover the operation of the unemployment system offices and staff, and IS NOT the same money benefit recipients receive.The money in a weekly unemployment check is paid by the last employer who terminated the recipientAlso, in Texas [I am unaware of other states], self-employed individuals are not eligible for unemployment benefits. Ostensibly, the reason for this is that if the self-employed individual is "out of business," then how could he pay his own unemployment benefits!Because of the last employer having to pay the weekly unemployment benefit checks, when a terminated individual files for benefits, the claim is forwarded to the employer who is allowed to challenge the claimant's eligibility to receive payment of the benefit.If the employer claims, and can prove, that the employee voluntarily quit, OR was FIRED FOR CAUSE, then the employer can "kill" the claim, preventing the need to have to pay the benefits, and thus preventing the ex-employee from receiving any payment.
Can you collect unemployment in California while collecting a city and county of San Francisco pension?
It is possible to receive unemployment and a pension in California under certain conditions specified in Section 1255.3 . You will receive full unemployment benefits if you contributed to the pension fund that is being distributed. (Examples for Federal Benefits include Social Security, Railroad Retirement and the Civil Service Retirement System CSRS, and FERS) Plans that did not require any employee contribution are not exempt and will have unemployment benefits reduced by the amount of the payment. For the complete California law go to the Related Link below. Yes, you can collect California unemployment benefits when you have a pension. However, according to the Pension or Retirement; A. Pension Law - Section 1255.3 (a), found in the Related Link below, the benefit shall be reduced, but not below 0, by an amount of the pension attributable to the benefits in that week. This is correct but I would follow up this answer with what if you started receiving pension from previous employers from 10 years back and is not the base employer. Will this too be deducted from your UI? Thanks
Do you have to file if you collected unemployment benefits?
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.
Can employer fire you while you are out on medical leave having surgery and can that employer then tell unemployment that you quit so you cannot collect unemployment compensation?
If you are employed "at-will," which most people who work without employment contracts are, then yes, your employer can fire you at any time, for any reason. Your only recourse, aside from unemployment benefits, would be a possibility of lawsuit if your employer wrongfully terminated you, such as on the basis of disability discrimination.The employer "can" also tell the unemployment insurance office that you quit. It is in their best financial interest to prevent you from successfully claiming unemployment benefits, and in a hostile situation such as this, the employer will often lie and distort facts in order to make it appear that you either quit voluntarily, or were fired for misconduct--in other words, for something that was your fault, not theirs.However, if you did not quit, you can fight their denial and still get unemployment benefits. You'll need to gather all documentation regarding your medical leave, as well as educate yourself about your employer's claim (Why did they say you quit? What is their evidence?) and your best arguments against it. Employers in general don't have great track records winning against employees in unemployment claims when it comes to medical issues...and they are probably hoping that you won't know how to fight it, and will just give up.
