Yes, you can. Go to the local unemployment office and they will help you get it transferred to the state where you now reside. You will still have to be qualified the same as if you were fired or laid off from your other job. Benefits are not really available otherwise.
According to the California Employment Development Department, California residents receiving UI may continue receiving benefits when relocating to a different state. However, if more than four hours is spent traveling, you may be required to participate in a phone interview, and you may lose your benefits for the week you spent traveling.

You may contact the employment security office of the state you're in for assistance in filing with the other state (there is an interstate agreement among the various offices to assist in these cases)

∙ 13y agoThe answer to this depends on whether it is you voluntarily moving to another state or if it is your employer moving to another state and you are choosing, for whatever reason, not to follow. In the case of the latter, you will likely qualify for unemployment (provided that you meet the other requirements) whereas the first one is your choice and your employer will not need to pay unemployment for you.
