Unemployment Benefits

In bankruptcy, a company is obligated to pay employees and other labor first. Contract labor and suppliers fall in line somewhere after that. If the company is able to stay in business, the employees shouldn't be affected too much unless the company just can't support that many employees, in which case there may be a need for layoffs.

If you have a work history that qualifies you to receive unemployment benefits in the first place, check with the employment security office in your state. Most states will allow your earning some income while on benefits, but each has their own formulas for doing so.

I put the above question in a terse, punctuation-free form, because that seemed to be what the system wanted. In case anyone wants to see the question in its original form, here it is:

I live in a state with an "alternate base period" rule -- which is good for me, since I don't think I would even be eligible otherwise. Now, I would think this means that the alternate base period is also used for computing the benefit rate, but I can't find any webpages that say so explicitly.

Let's say that my "base period" earnings are $5000, but my "alternate base period" earnings are $10000. Thanks to the "alternate base period rule" in RI, I know that I qualify for benefits. But here's what I'm not sure about: total benefits in RI are "36% of your total base period wages" (broken down into a certain number of weeks, of course, but I won't quote all those rules). This hopefully means 36% of $10000, or $3600. However, it could also be taken to mean 36% of $5000, or $1800. Big difference!

Can anyone tell me anything? Thanks in advance.

You keep filing in NC and nothing should change except your address. I recently did this between FL and GA.

It would be rare if you did, as benefits are generally awarded for loss of jobs due to work conditions and not through your own fault. Cancer is something neither you nor your employer could do anything to prevent.

If you have not been working previously, No. If you were, then all the reasons that would otherwise qualify you apply (length of employment, earnings, reason for loss of job, etc.) not just because you have to stay home. Each state has its own requirements, so the better thing to do is check with your state's unemployment office for clarification.

You could only qualify for New York's benefits if you worked in that state for the prescribed period and met all the other requirements.

You have to report any work earnings, regardless of the circumstances of employment. The Employment Security Commission may have a provision allowing claimants to earn a minimal amount of money (for example 20% of the weekly benefit amount) without reducing your benefits, then apply a dollar-for-dollar reduction for any amount over that threshold. Occasional, inconsistent income should not affect your unemployment eligibility; however, you must continue looking for regular employment under the terms of your agreement.

Failure to report work income is considered unemployment fraud, and is a felony in the state of North Carolina.

Contact your local Unemployment office to request further details.

If the buyout caused you to lose your job, through no fault of your own, you would be eligible for unemployment, if all other requirements were met.

No. No state deducts unemployment funds from employee's paychecks. Payroll taxes paid to the state by the business funds unemployment benefits.

Yes, you can if you want, but it's not necessary as you can receive both at the same time without either interfering with the other (unless you are in one of the states that offset unemployment by SS benefits - Illinois, Utah and Virginia)

if you quit and walk out and if they will not hire you back but you can do a interview with them and unemployment to see if they will pay this happened to me in Florida i was worrking a a company i was under fmla and they tried to put me as walking off my job but i was told to leave and i did a interview on the phone the company did not even answer the interview and i was approved and back paid ...this was in Florida...

Employers do not deny unemployment - state employment commissions do, based on facts about your separation. Employer can protest your claim, ans the commission wil investigate.

It depends. You might decide to, or you could list your area. I would advise you to go anywhere in your state. That way, you aren't likely to have to drive too far for the money to be worth it.

It is my opinion that unemployment benefits received from the State of WV are taxable to the receipient on form IT-140. No decreasing modification is allowed or provided for this income.

The tertiary sector is also called the service sector. Tertiary activities involve the selling of goods and products from primary and secondary industries, and the sale of services and skills. Examples of tertiary employment include the health service, transportation, education, entertainment, tourism, finance, sales and retail, plumbers and mechanics. The biggest area of expansion in the tertiary sector in the UK has been in financial and business services. According to government statistics, 25 years ago one in ten people worked in this industry; now this is one in five. The quaternary sector consists of those industries providing information services, such as computing and ICT (information and communication technologies), consultancy (offering advice to businesses) and R&D (research, particular in scientific fields). The quaternary sector is sometimes included with the tertiary sector, as they are both service sectors. Between them, the tertiary and quaternary sectors are the largest part of the UK economy, employing 76% of the workforce.

Absolutely. To not do so may constitute unemployment fraud. If you are disabled, you may not be able to comply with the requirements of being ready, willing and able to accept full time employment, thus not be eligible for the unemployment compensation.

Social security benefits became taxable income in the year of 1984.

I dont think so, but you can verify the information by calling your State Insurance commissioner, normally a toll free number.

No, for several reasons. You must be constantly seeking full time employment. The original benefit time period is 26 weeks during the 52 week benefits year. The Federal programs, at present (2011) last only 99 weeks. If any of the above events take place, your part time work vs unemployment benefits ends.

No, to collect unemployment benefits you have to be able and actively seeking full time work, among other requirements, which you cannot while imprisoned. After release, it would depend on your work history during the base period for Georgia.

The state where you lived when you applied for the loan. Also read the fine print, because most contracts will have the state of the lenders where remedy would be sought incase of default. Based on Phil Turner's Credit Bible book and newsletter.

Yes, Although Colorado is the "liable" state, which would be paying the benefit, Nevada, acting as the "agent" state could assist you in obtaining it. You still have to meet all the requirements of Colorado and report whatever they require.

usually, if you get $200 a week in unemp benefits, and you find work at $175 a week, then your benefits will go down to $25 a week. * Yes, farming one's own property would not be affect unemployment benefits that are the results of private employment layoff's.

Yes, you can work while receiving unemployment if the amount is less than the benefits received. This can be in the form of part time work or reduced hours from your current employer. The formula employed is determined by the state's employment security office. for more information, see the Related Link below.
