How is the unemployment tax rate calculated in my paycheck?
It isn't. Unemployment benefits are paid by the state which collects it from the employer through the employer's payroll taxes. Employees in all 50 states do not pay into the unemployment system.
Can you collect unemployment when a company is in bankruptcy?
Your unemployment benefits will continue even if your employer declares bankruptcy. The unemployment insurance system is designed by each state to cover your expenses if you become unemployed in a qualified manner.As long as you remain eligible to receive your weekly unemployment benefit rate, your benefits should not be halted at any time, unless you either become employed or discontinue your claim. The only other reason your claim may be stopped is because you have reached the end of your benefit term, and your available compensation has expired.
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.
Do employers rates go up if you claim unemployment?
This answer is specific to unemployment insurance in California:The California Employment Development Department uses an experience rating system, where employers pay unemployment taxes at rates commensurate with claims activities by their employees. New employers start with an unemployment insurance (UI) rate of 3.4% on the first $7,000 of each employee's annual wages.Employers with high unemployment activity pay higher unemployment tax rates, and employers with lower activity pay less. The UI rate is adjusted annually. The employer receives notification in December of the new UI rate effective January 1 of the following year.To answer the question above, any claim filed by a former employee affects the former employer's unemployment experience rating, i.e. UI rate.See the attached Related Link to the EDD's explanation of the California System of Experience Rating.FEDERAL: Federal unemployment insurance (FUTA) is also paid on the first $7,000 of each employee's annual wages. The FUTA rate in 2009 was 6.2% but employers who pay into their state unemployment fund (and most all do) receive a maximum credit of 5.4%, resulting in a FUTA rate of .8% (.008) in 2009.The FUTA rate is fixed and does not change based on the employer's experience rating so an employee unemployment claim does not affect this rate.See the attached Related Link to the IRS Instructions for Form 940 (FUTA.)See the Related Question below for information on Nevada.

Can retired military collect Georgia unemployment insurance?
Only if you don't tell them about your retirement. I retired Jan 2010 and immediately went to work FT. After 7 months, I was laid off without notice. I applied for unemployment and stated honestly that I receive a military retirement. I am a man of integrity and had no desire to falsify information that could come back to haunt me or even be charged with a crime since it is illegal to falsify information when applying for unemployment. I was told that I did not qualify for unemployment benefits becaus I receive a military retirement. In short, in the state of Georgia, retired veterans will never be eligible for unemployment benefits because our retirement is more than the benefit. What is being lost in all this is that the state requires every employer to pay into the unemployment system for their workers. This means that the state of Georgia gets to keep the money paid by my employer because I can never qualify for unemployment benefits. This is outrageous! I guess my 24 years of service wasn't enough, they now want my unemployment benefits as well. Just their way of saying "Thanks for your service". Good Soldier
Can you collect unemployment in NJ if your in jail?
So what if your weekly benefit rate is $306? That means you could work part time and earn up to $305.99 per week and still collect your full weekly unemployment benefits? You can earn up to 20% of your weekly benefit without any reduction in benefit, After that, the benefit is reduced by the amount earned in excess of 20%. So, if your weekly benefit was $306, you could earn up to $61.20 and still receive the full $306 benefit. If you earned $62.20 (one dollar more than 20% of the benefit), you would receive $305 in unemployment benefits (the full benefit reduced by one dollar). If you earned $305.99, your benefit would be reduced by $244.79 (305.99-61.20) and you would receive a benefit of $61.21 (306-244.79).

Of course. A company e-mail system is installed for the benefit of the company. There should be no private e-mails in it. Sending private e-mails over a company system is tantamount to theft.
Is there an unemployment disability benefit?
If you file for unemployment and are not able to work, then you will be ineligible for benefits. However, if you are currently receiving benefits and become disabled, then yes...you would be flagged in their system to continue with benefits. It is a process because once you notify them of your disability, then your benefits will be placed on hold, you will be sent medical documentation for your Doctor to fill out, and return. The unemployment office will only know if you are disabled if you tell them.
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
