It is illegal to collect unemployment benefits while employed in NYS.
It's not a matter of whether you work as a consultant but whether you meet all the tests for eligibility of unemployment benefits. Part time work may be permissible, depending on earnings versus benefits, etc.
Unemployment is income taxable, but does not count for Social Security purposes.No, only earned income (while working) counts toward SS benefits.
No. You are working when in the army.
No. It is not a long enough work history.
In general, eligibility for unemployment benefits varies by state, but working 30 hours a week typically indicates you were employed full-time, which could qualify you for benefits if you've been downsized. However, receiving a pension from a previous job may affect the amount of unemployment benefits you can receive, depending on local laws. You should contact your state's unemployment office for specific guidance based on your situation.
Whether or not you are eligible for unemployment benefits depends on a lot of factors (i.e. the state you live in, the amount of time you worked at your job, the number of hours worked, the nature of the employment) but only working at a job for 2 months you would probably not be eligible to collect unemployment benefits.
No. Unemployment benefits are provided for those who did work but, for some reason, have lost their jobs. If you are working, you are not eligible for unemployment benefits.
Typically, unemployment benefits only apply to those who have been working full time and they're employer has been paying for their unemployment. I've never heard of someone getting unemployment benefits after only working part time for a short period of time. I'm sorry to break the bad news.
Yes, it may be possible, depending on what your state's rules are on working conditions that might qualify for unemployment benefits, even if you were to quit.
Unfortunately, if you became disabled after you started receiving unemployment benefits, you could no longer qualify as to being ready willing, and able to actively seek full time employment immediately. If it had been job related, you probably could have received Worker's Comp. Otherwise there may be some other programs, i.e. your state's human resources office, etc.
