If someone is unemployed and collecting unemployment benefits can they refuse work if the job requires them to travel more than 15 miles with no form of transportation?
That depends on the state. I'm assuming you've already contacted your local unemployment office. They'd have the answer for you. Where I live, they can cancel your benefits if you refuse a job that's within 30 miles of your home.
Are you really being offered jobs even though you have no transportation? I would think that would stop an employer from hiring you. Your benefits can be terminated if you refuse an OFFER of employment. If you are filling out applications and they call you for an interview and you say you can't get there because you have no transportation, I'd think that would be the end of that job contact!

Do you have to file if you collected unemployment benefits?
Anytime that you need unemployment benefits you have to refile. When you refile you will be advised if you are eligible for benefits. Sometimes you will reopen an existing claim if it is within the same base period that you were collecting in previously, in which case your unemployment amount will remain the same. However, if you have exhausted your previous benefits and not eligible to open an extension, then the unemployment office will use the new base period, and based on the work that you have completed, you may or may not qualify. File asap, because many states will not allow you to backdate your unemployment to when you first became unemployed. You can always file, but you may not qualify.
