Being a resident of Alaska I'm very qualified to answer this question. It's without much question in my mind that you'd have the right to apply for unemployment benefits under these circumstances. The fact you weren't able to pay your bills for all the life supporting purchases you were entitled to has no bearing on your entitlement. Referring to Alaska Statute 64.53.e1 and Michigan 94.142 and Public Act 192. you're actually entitled to additional monies due to the hard ships undertaken by having had to endure the Chapter 7 bankruptcy embarrassment.
There are several variables in this case. First, it depends on the state where the infraction occurred. (Remember, even though the funding for such programs comes from federal funding, each state has control of dispersal of the funds, and creates it's own laws governing the dispersal of the funds) Second, if the state received the payment for the "over-pay" then it is up to the state attorney to decide through preponderance of the evidence, if this was an intentional act of fraud or theft by deception. He/she may be satisfied with the re-payment and ask for a dismissal of the charges. And lastly, The warrant has to be satisfied no matter what. Warrants do not expire. They have to be answered in the form of an arrest, or (in some states) it could be quashed. (Removed) It would be best to consult an attorney for advice on how to proceed
To what extent does the existence of unemployment benefits increase the duration of unemployment?
The increase in duration of unemployment is mainly due to the fact of jobs not being available. If 5 workers are applying for every available job, unemployment continues until the number of jobs can match the number of applicants. Some people receiving benefits may choose to collect instead of working, but even they are required to continue looking for full time employment. The benefits merely help the searchers survive until they find employment.

It would depend on several factors. If you were denied for cause and the decision was not appealed, then probably not.

Remember, denials are not automatically closed, you can always appeal a decision.
Will my unemployment benefits count as income in a Minnesota bankruptcy?

Exact same thing happened to my dad, and he received benefits.
The unemployment benefits in all states are intended as insurance for the "non-voluntary" loss of employment, i.e., layoff or RIFs [Reductions in Force]
That means, with a very few exceptions for extraordinary circumstances, that if a person VOLUNTARILY QUITS a job, then that individual IS NOT ELIGIBLE for unemployment benefits.
The employer paid, payroll based, "premium" money "paid" to the states is only barely enough to cover the operation of the unemployment system offices and staff, and IS NOT the same money benefit recipients receive.
The money in a weekly unemployment check is paid by the last employer who terminated the recipient
Also, in Texas [I am unaware of other states], self-employed individuals are not eligible for unemployment benefits. Ostensibly, the reason for this is that if the self-employed individual is "out of business," then how could he pay his own unemployment benefits!
Because of the last employer having to pay the weekly unemployment benefit checks, when a terminated individual files for benefits, the claim is forwarded to the employer who is allowed to challenge the claimant's eligibility to receive payment of the benefit.
If the employer claims, and can prove, that the employee voluntarily quit, OR was FIRED FOR CAUSE, then the employer can "kill" the claim, preventing the need to have to pay the benefits, and thus preventing the ex-employee from receiving any payment.
You will need to report the income earned to the unemployment bureau. They will likely reduce your benefits by that amount. So, if you earned $100 your unemployment check for that week will be $100 less. Failure to report the income can result in criminal prosecution for fraud.
Will unemployment benefits be reduced if you are drawing Social Security in Alabama?
No. Alabama is not one of the 4 states that do offset unemployment with the Social Security.

Another opinion"
Unless the state you were working in had very liberal unemployment laws, your question implies no work problems, no personal hardship (like a death, moving with spouse, etc.) so if for your benefit alone, most states would deny your eligibility.
Was laid off job 2 years ago can you file unemployment?
No way, if you could get money for quitting them 90% of the workers would try it. The only way would be if it was for some very extreme reason, like sexual harresment or not getting paid etc. Otherwise no. And if you haven't worked in 2 years, you don't have any money paid in tp un-employment. So in your case i would say no!!!
