It's not really a matter of how long that you have been with one company. Your entire work history is evaluated, for the last year or so, the reason you left your last employer is an important consideration, as well as when you last received EI benefits. Generally, though 12 weeks of continuous employment will give you some benefits.
The terms and conditions for eligibility vary with each state. Generally, they look at the first 4 of the last 5 completed calendar quarters and it can be a "blending" of all your work history in that base period.
No. It is not a long enough work history.
YOu cannot receive unemployment if you return to work.
I work at my company for 26 year and have been let go do to the COVID-19. I receive unemployment. My company is giving me $27,986. in a severance package. How will that affect my unemployment payment?
Probably not. To receive unemployment you have to be willing and able to work.
No. You receive unemployment BECAUSE you have no job.
You have to be able, willing, and looking for work, to receive unemployment compensation benefits.
from unemployment
In order to be eligible for unemployment you need to have been released from your job at no fault of your own. Your company moving out of the state would qualify in that category and provided that you meet the other requirements you should be eligible to collect unemployment while you are actively looking for work.
It depends upon the conditions of your work. If you worked as an unpaid volunteer, then your cannot receive unemployment benefits on that basis. If you were a paid employee, then you can.
If, as a result of the buy-out, you lost your job through no fault of your own, you should be eligible to receive benefits.
Sorry to hear man. What you will need to do is go down to your local unemployment office and apply. As long as losing your job wasn't your fault, you just have to be able to prove you are looking for a new job and are available to work. If so, you should receive unemployment benefits in about two weeks.
The state you perform your work in is the "liable state", the state that pays your unemployment benefits. No matter whether you live in the state you work in, or even if the company's headquarters are in another, you get your benefits from where you work.
