What state (or country, if you're not in the US) are you referring to? In California, for example, the answer is either "no" or "what are you talking about" since there's no such thing as "dependents" on the unemployment claim form.
Write down what you have done to look for work since you claimed unemployment benefit.
you can get unemployment benefits 26 weeks per claim. 1 claim per year.
You probably won't get any protection/relief for that. First, overpayments and amounts due to most governmental agencies are given a very high priority. Second, and more importantly, is that under almost any instance of you receiving unemployment that you weren't supposed to, it is because of your filing a claim that you weren't alllowed to, or hiding your current employment of such, all of which to collect you swore something different, and is actually able to be pursued as a fraud and crime. The agency is giving you a break allowing you to make it good. Illegal acts, like fraudulently getting UI, are not going to get any protection by the BK court.
In general, no. Worker's Comp is one of the exceptions to the privacy acts, since they are the payer of an accepted claim.
In most states, depending on the seriousness of your injury, you might qualify for Workers Compensation. If not, then your reduction in hours usually qualifies you for unemployment benefits. Because both situations vary from state to state, you need to contact your state's unemployment office for clarification.
NO you can not lose your pay. If you are back to work light duty and need to see the work comp doctor or therapy then you receive your pay and work comp * If you are out of work due to an injury you WILL NOT RECEIVE YOUR REGULAR PAYCHECK from your employer. In a nut shell; you go to work, your employer pays you. If you cannot go to work due to a workmens comp claim you will have to file for comp from the State or the insurer. In the State of Nevada you only receive about 45 cents on the dollar compaired to what you would receive had you worked for your employer. * WCI benefits are paid to a worker when the person cannot perform the duties attributed to his or her job. The employee CANNOT receive regular pay and WCI benefits at the same time.
Generall not since unemployment benefits are related to earned income from losing a job.
I don't believe the company is going to contact you. It will probably be thru a mediator directly from the courts. Since there is a disagreement between you both, or you wouldn't be in court, they will have someone mediating on your behalf.
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.
Yes it is taxable income that has to be reported as such on your 1040 income tax return. For the tax year 2009 the first 2400 of unemployment compensation received will not be taxable income that would have to be added to all of your other gross worldwide income and taxed at your marginal tax rate.
Yes you can. you can even apply for unemployment If you work 20 hrs or less and you are a full time time student you may apply for unemployment.
