One may collect for 6 months. (26 weeks). That is from Florida and your employer pool based on your earnings and being qualified.

During times of FEDERAL extensions (rare) you MAY be able to collect longer. However there must be more eligible weeks and you must fall within an eligible time frame (a window).

Right now there was up to 99 total weeks possible of unemployment payments.

So the answer is up to 99 weeks total. BUT the State MUST have a certain rate of unemployment to qualify.

It is based on six different programs (consecutively of course). And Some replaced the other. So it is complicated. and you may not get all 99 total weeks.

But YOU better try different methods of job search (in person, on line, company website and MUST MUST MUST register with EMPLOY Florida DOCUMENT and keep searching because sometimes benefits are retroactive.

The latest extension (July 2010) did NOT ADD any more weeks of pay. They MERELY added more time for you to qualify. Thus if you did not get all 99 (or how many weeks you qualified under) you MIGHT be eligible. But if you have exhausted all 99 weeks you do not get any more. DO NOT wait for them to contact you go on line and find out they have various extension programs EB, EUC and tiers

There is not a "statute of limitations" per se but there are requirements you must meet to be eligible for unemployment benefits in the state of Florida. Among these are that you made a certain amount of money and worked a certain length of time during a base period, which is usually five quarters preceding your claim (of which you typically must have worked at least two and met the gains threshold).

Religious nonprofits have the option to not pay unemployment. If they choose not to pay then the employee cannot collect unemployment. If they do pay unemployment to the state then the employee can collect. Nonreligious organizations do have to pay unemployment, but they can pay the state one of two ways. As a state tax rated employer (same as a for profit company) or as a direct reimbursurer. Referenced from www.chooseust.com

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.

I filed for unemployment one month after termination date. Can I collect back pay for that month?

Unless your particular state has a provision for back pay -- most do not -- you will be unable to collect back pay. It is your responsibility to file for unemployment and the fact that you did not do so during your first unemployed month is unfortunately entirely your loss.

Can part time Georgia teachers collect unemployment compensation between school terms?

Usually, teachers are paid a salary and cannot collect unemployment between school terms, but you can check with your unemployment office. If you are paid hourly, it might be possible to collect benefits. Again, check with your unemployment office or ask the school administrators if it is possible to collect unemployment. The school can probably tell you. Another answer: I doubt it, but call or email your unemployment department. I am a retired teacher who subs during the school year and tried to collect unemployment in the summer. They paid me, but then decided that I didn't earn it so I had to pay it back. There is a law that has been passed that prohibits teachers from unemployment, but I am not sure if this a federal law or state.
