You can only collect unemployment benefits from the "liable state", where the employer paid unemployment taxes, so Missouri would not pay you benefits, as you described it.
The types of unemployment are: Regular UI, Interstate Claim for Benefits, Combined Wage Claim (CWC) for Benefits, Extended Benefits, Unemployment Compensation for Federal Civilian Employees (UCFE), Unemployment Compensation for Ex-Military Personnel (UCX), and Disaster Unemployment Assistance (DUA)
Unemployment benefits are unaffected by severance or termination pay in Missouri. See the Related Link below for details, under "Will other income reduce my benefits."
You need to check with both offices. Obviously you are collecting an accumulative benefit through the interstate agreement of the states and earned in the respective base periods of both.
In Washington, you can file for an interstate unemployment claim if you use to work in Washington and was fired or laid off and now live another state. Even though you moved out of state, you will still be paid unemployment benefits through Washington.
Because Missouri is the "liable state", with responsibility to pay the benefits, you can't transfer them to Georgia. However, you can continue to receive Missouri's benefits while in Georgia by contacting either the Missouri or Georgia's (the "agent state") and following their instructions.
Interstate unemployment is merely the agreement between the "liable state" ( the one owing the benefits because the worker worked in that state) and the "agent state" where the worker is now. The agent state, apparently Texas in this case, will assist the unemployed worker receive his benefits from the other state.
According to the Related Link below, severance pay will not affect your unemployment benefits.
You might want to call a lawyer or whoever is giving you the unemployment benefits. My best guess is no because you are leaving the state so you must apply for unemployment benefits for the state you relocate in. Keep on striving!
where do I file Texas interstate unemployment claim if I live in NC
Yes, you can collect both. According to the Missouri Department of Labor and Industrial Relations, neither severance pay nor Social Security benefits reduce your unemployment compensation.
Yes, if you qualify under the laws of California. It falls under the interstate unemployment benefits agreement that the states are signed up with.
