You have the right to file for unemployment, but if you receive a severance package from your employer you may be violating the terms of your severance package by filing for unemployment.

Where do you pay unemployment insurance if employees work off site and from home in the state they live or where the company is based?
As the employer, who is responsible for paying the payroll tax from which the state collects funds for unemployment benefits, you'd pay in the state where your company is based. Employees pay no unemployment insurance, but can file in the state where they live and that state will act as the "agent" state, in their behalf, and assist them collecting from the "liable" state.
What state do you file an unemployment claim if you live in Massachusetts but worked in Rhode Island?
You would file in Rhode Island, the "liable state", because it is the one who collected unemployment taxes from your employer.
Can you file discrimination against your past employer?
Sure. Thousands do. But if the employer had fewer than 15 employees, it will properly ignore your charge.
If you live in one state and work in another state which state does an employer pay unemployment taxes to?
The employer pays its unemployment taxes to the state the employer is located in. You might file your claim with the state you live in, but your state would then process the claim through the "liable state".
If you live in New York but work in Pennsylvania in which state do you file for unemployment?
Under the Interstate Unemployment Agreement provisions you could file in either, but preferably in New York since it is the "liable state" which collected the unemployment taxes from your employer.
Can you only file for unemployment if you were terminated?
Actually, you cannot file for unemployment if you were terminated--you are only eligible if you were terminated without cause. Even so, some jobs may not be eligible for unemployment benefits. The easiest way to find out would be to ask your former employer.
Who else has access to my unemployment status?
Only you have access to your unemployment status. However, the people at the Unemployment Office do have access to your information. Also, your previous and sometimes next to last employer are aware that you are filing for unemployment & they receive a copy of what you say when you file for unemployment, but that is all. For example, if when you file you state that you are "laid off due to a lack of work", that information will be sent over to your employer so they can make their response for the reason (s) that you are no longer employed with that company.
Can an employer send you home and say that you quit to avoid paying unemployment?
An employer may do any number of things, but that does not mean its legal, ethical, or allowed by the state's unemployment office. When you file your claim, the investigator will check out your story with the employer and vice versa to determine the truth of the matter.
Where do you file for unemployment insurance if you live in Pennsylvania but work in New York?
You file for unemployment from the "liable state" which collects the unemployment insurance from the employer you worked for. In this case, the "liable state" is New York. You can file in Pennsylvania, as the "agent state", but it is New York that Pennsylvania would contact in your behalf.
Can you get unemployment if you left your job because of the employer accusing you of theft but they had no proof?
Accusation is one thing, proof is another. File your claim with the unemployment office and their investigator will check out all the facts.
When can you file for unemployment?
One can file for unemployment any time they are laid off, furloughed, or terminated from an employer covered by unemployment insurance. Whether that person receives unemployment benefits or not is dependent on the the conditions of separation, federal, state and local law, and sometimes the outcome of an appeals process, or special circumstances that temporarily alter benefit eligibility. Such circumstances may be a decree from the President or Governor due to widespread economic hardship, or massive layoffs from a key employer.
If your employer goes bankrupt can you file for unemployment?
In bankruptcy, a company is obligated to pay employees and other labor first. Contract labor and suppliers fall in line somewhere after that. If the company is able to stay in business, the employees shouldn't be affected too much unless the company just can't support that many employees, in which case there may be a need for layoffs.
