Yes, an individual is eligible to receive unemployment (if he or she meets the criteria to qualify for unemployment) from a previous job while living in another state. However, unless you quit your job for good cause, quitting a job is a disqualifying factor when applying for unemployment.

2009- taken from the Related Link below -Scrivener answered the same question:

Workers who are qualified for unemployment insurance benefits and move to another state are still qualified to collect benefits even after they move. This is because every state participates in the federal interstate Benefit Payment Plan. BUT you must follow the proper procedures to qualify for benefits and receive payments in a timely manner.

You must be approved in the state you were laid off in and the benefits will continue to be paid from that same state.

Yes, it may differ state to state so I would check your state's department of economical services, unemployment compensation. You need to file with the state you worked in. For example, if you lived and worked in Arizona, and then moved to Missouri, you would need to file with Arizona to send your payments to Missouri. The only snag you may hit is the requirement of job hunting. They cannot make you go to their labor department, so that may cause a denial, but I would reapply if that happens, you can always just fax or mail in the info from your job searches.

Well, it depends on if you were fired or if you left voluntary, I left NY to come to GA in 1994, and I left under some pretty stressful circumstances, but because I left my jobs voluntarily I did not get unemployment from NY, but when I was fired in 2005 by a major wholesale company in CA, I was able to get the unemployment when I moved to GA, I had to fight for it, but I got it! So whatever state you left, make sure you check on-line or by calling the labor dept to find out if you are able to get your unemployment. All I can say is good luck to you, it took me approximately 6 months to finally get a check.

Yes you can, as long as you qualified in the state you worked in and cleared with them that you were moving and complied with their conditions.

The US Dept. of Labor says that you must be unemployed through no fault of your own and that is determined by particular State laws. Depending on that state law, to quit to move somewhere else is not "through no fault of your own". Some states do allow unemployment benefits if you quit for non-job related reasons (i.e. spouse relocation, military, domestic violence issues, etc.) The Related Link below gives many facts about unemployment laws and rules. Mainly, check with your own State's unemployment office for clarification in your state.

I don't know about your state. But here in NC if you quit your job, your are not eligible for any unemployment. You are eligible only if you are fired or laid off.

When moving to North Carolina can you collect unemployment until you find a job not collecting unemployment in Rhode Island now?

When I moved from Massachusetts to NC in 1990 I was not able to collect due to the fact that I left my job in Mass voluntarily and was not laid off. If you were laid off in RI you might be able to collect but you should have opened a unemployment claim in RI first. <><> If you weren't already collecting it in Rhode Island, nor were eligible to, you also cannot collect in in North Carolina because it is not the "liable" state, in which you had a work history.

Can I collect unemployment if my plant shuts down for one week?

No, the way I read this is that you still have a job so you aren't unemployed only have a furlough. It will take you 6-8 weeks before you got any money if you could and you'll be back to work. Not all people have vacation time in many jobs and that doesn't give the right to unemployment.

Can you continue to receive unemployment from Florida if you move to another state?

The Unemployment Compensation provisions have undergone many changes through the years; and, the procedures for qualifying for eligibility have been revised as well, varying in one manner or another from state to state. The best resource you have is the local unemployment office for the state in which you now reside. If it is different from that where you were laid-off, you are still considered unemployed until you attain employment status; and, if you expect to be considered eligible for benefits, you need to meet their criteria, the first part of which is registration. It is not customarily a mandatory provision for receiving unemployment benefits that you refrain from changing your residence to anywhere other than out-of-country or prison, in which case you would no longer qualify.Interstate Unemployment BenefitsYes, you can continue to collect benefits from the state in which you originally filed your claim. Unemployment benefits are not public assistance, you worked for it, it is your money.Your new state of residency does not pay the benefits, they will come from the state in which you were eligible, but you will still need to follow the requirements for eligibility.Contact the office of the state agency that handles unemployment benefits in the state where you relocate as soon as possible to avoid a delay in receiving your benefits.

You can continue to collect for the designated number of weeks as long as you continue to apply for jobs and submit your weekly reports to the unemployment office as required. It would be wise to discuss your "condition" with them as it may change the scope of your job search.


Can you collect unemployment from California if you temporarily move to Illinois?

Yes, you can collect unemployment insurance if you have worked in Hawaii but moved to California. Even if you think you do not have enough in Hawaii's unemployment insurance to collect. I worked in California all my life and was offered a job in Hawaii in October 2008. I worked until March 2009 and then tried to collect while i lived in Hawaii. I was denied befits in Hawaii in March 2009, so I moved back to California and could not find work so i collected unemployment in California. It was a knowledgeable person in California EDD that recommended that i file in Hawaii versus California because of the amount i would collect there was a lot more than i collected here. I told them I was denied benefits over there because i did not work long enough over there (hence; i did not put enough money in Hawaii's Kitty) So California's EDD said they would transfer what I put in California's unemployment insurance to Hawaii's unemployment insurance, then that would make me eligible to collect.
