In my case, I was allowed 6 months of pay. Then Minnesota is going to take 50% of that pay for state taxes. The rate is higher because its a severance that is paid in one lump sum. When you accept severance pay, you have to wait until the pay has run out (6 months in my case), before you can apply for unemployment insurance. -Minnesota
What else can I help you with?
If you were laid off and are now collecting unemployment but started making money but it may not be consistent should you claim the money or keep collecting unemployment?
If you are once again employed and earning a salary you should cease collecting your unemployment compensation. It's fraud. The state is paying you so that you and your family don't starve, they're not guaranteeing that you'll never earn a lesser salary.
If you are laid off from your job and start collecting unemployment benefits and you are then able to retire during this time are you allowed to still keep collecting your unemployment checks?
No. If you are truly retiring you cannot continue to collect unemployment because you are required to be able, willing, and ready to accept full time employment which you are supposed to be seeking.
Can unemployment benefits and severance from an employer be collected at the same time in NY state?
I did. I received lump sum severance and collected unemployment in NYC. Of course, the regular one week waiting period for unemployment still goes so make sure to apply immediately. Actually, if you think about it, a lump sum payment is really part of your compensation package, so as long you don't keep receiving a paycheck after that, then why shouldn't you be entitled to unemployment like everyone else? I imagine it would be different if you cotinue to receive a paycheck every week for a specified amount of time after you were let go though...
Do you receive severance pay if you are fired?
Only if it was listened in the original benefits package by the employer. No employer has to give out severance unless they specifically stated that they would when you were hired. This is something to keep in mind when looking for new jobs. It can only be negotiated at the start, so if you want that protection you will need to be proactive about it. The attached link talks more about specifics as well as the the ways in which severance and unemployment aid can intertwine.
Are you allowed to leave the state for any reason while collecting unemployment?
Yes, you generally can. But in order to keep collecting, comply with the requirements to stay eligible (i.e. reporting in, looking for work, etc.)
Where can you get a severance package?
Whether or not you receive a severance package is entirely up to your employer and /or the company you work for's policies. No one is forced to give out severance, it is considered a benefit. Pay close attention when you first sign the paperwork for a new job and it will mention severance if it is included in that company's benefits package. The attached article goes into more specifics. One other thing to keep in mind is unemployment vs. severance.
If you get fired from your job and you are already on unemloyment will you keep your same benefits?
You shouldn't have been collecting unemployment if you had a job. But now that you are fired once again I suppose it will just stay the same.
Does being on unemployment affect your credit rating?
No. It does not affect your credit history. However, when you apply for a loan, it is constituted as a form of income and a form of "unstable" income. So, if you are currently collecting unemployment, and are interested in applying for a mortgage, you might get declined. Not because of your credit, but because it's considered income.Another opinion:Yes it does. Periods of unemployment effect your credit score in a negative way. collecting unemployment clearly put you in the light of creditors as being in that "period on unemployment".

How many Californians are employed in various jobs?
If you are asking this to find out how many people are employed in California the answer is currently 88% due to the high 12% unemployment rate. Keep in mind that this number reflects the current number of people who are currently collecting unemployment benefits, not those who have dropped off the system and no longer are eligible. The actual numbers will be significantly higher.
