Collecting it would be illegal, as you can not comply with the conditions for receiving it. Return what you received and ask for it to be temporarily(?) discontinued. When you get out, there may be time left in your benefit period (normally 52 weeks to collect a normal 26 weeks of payments) to receive some of the benefits.
You can't. To collect unemployment you have to BE AVAILABLE for employment. If you were in jail, you were not available.
You can go to jail for fruad
No. To be eligible for unemployment benefits, you must be available for work. If you are incarcerated, you are not available for work.
Probably not. Unemployment usually requires that you are actively seeking work and are available for work.
This is not a legal opinion, but in order to receive unemployment benefit checks you must be in compliance with the terms of receiving them... including continuously seeking full time employment, which you obviously cannot do while incarcerated. To receive said payment constitutes unemployment fraud
No, because, among the many requirements to receive those benefits, you must be actively seeking full time employment which, for obvious reasons, you can't do while incarcerated.
In general, no. In order to collect unemployment, you must be seeking employment, and accepting it when found. While in prison, that's not going to happen.
Unemployment is designed for those ready, willing, and able to work, a status which you clearly do not hold if you are incarcerated. The penalty for lying or misrepresenting yourself to receive unemployment benefits can be severe and is known as benefits fraud - it may include fines and jail time.
No.
If the incarcerated person was not incarcerated for the entire year, he was still an eligible dependent. Also, if the incarcerated person is under 18 and the parent's provide his support while he is incarcerated he can also be claimed as a dependent.
There is not any law against getting married while you are incarcerated. You will not be able to leave jail while you get married.
While you are incarcerated yes, but most can generally gain this back once they are not incarcerated.
yes
