What happens if you receive an overpayment of unemployment benefits?

You could be charged with a misdemeanor or felony, depending on the amount owed, plus fines and/or other penalties
They will subtract it from your state income tax every year till it is paid back.

Can you draw unemployment benefits and Social Security benefits at the same time in Missouri?

Yes you can, and only 4 state's offset your unemployment compensation by a portion of your Social Security benefits (Illinois, Louisiana, Utah, and Virginia).

YES. The two programs are different. Social Security is a Federal program that you pay into from your paycheck, as does the employer, and you are eligible to receive after you turn 62 (unless earlier due to being disabled, which is covered under a different part of the program). The longer you delay receiving Social Security the larger the monthly benefit you would get. The amount you receive depends on your age, how many 'quarters' you worked, and the amount of your earnings.

On the other hand, unemployment security, a federal/state program, administered by the state, comes from contributions paid into the program by the employer and the amount he pays in is a percentage of his payroll based on the employer's turn-over rate of employees (the lower the turn-over, the lower the percentage). This way the employer is encouraged to retain employees in order to reduce his costs. The employee, generally, receives unemployment benefits from the state's collected 'employer's unemployment contribution pool', IF he was laid off, i.e. reduction in staff, etc., or was fired without cause (not caught stealing, harassment, drugs, etc.), or other reasons not due to his own actions. Thus you can both draw Social Security while still working (as I had done) or if drawing unemployment because the reason for drawing both are different, from different government agencies, and for different causes.

If you are on a one-week furlough can you receive unemployment benefits?

I believe you can, if your employer reports it. But there is also (at least in TN) a 1 week waiting period for some reason. So if you think that over the next few months you may be off, lets say a week at a time, you need to get that first week out of the way. Then you can collect on future weeks off.

At least that's what I've been led to believe, something like that is going on where I work now.

What state do you file for unemployment benefits in if the state in which you reside is different than the state in which you work?

You can actually file in both, especially if you live in one state and work in another.

<><>

If you file in your state of residence, the employment office there will cooperate in your filing with the "liable" state (where you work, as they are the ones who collected the employer's payroll taxes and are responsible for paying your claim). Otherwise, file with the state's office where you worked.

Can you receive unemployment benefits and Social Security at the same time in Rhode Island?

In MA I asked that same question. "Now that I'm getting disability, I guess I have to stop unemployment." Answer: "No, they are completely independent." So I collected in both. Of course, you will pay taxes on both, so put some aside.

It seems counter-intuitive, since disability means you can't work and in unemploment you state you can work.

I think the reasoning is: If you read your disability rules closely, they acknowledge the possibility that you find some work that you can do, and since that takes job-finding time you still qualify for unemployment.

If your drawing unemployment in one state and start work in another state can you keep drawing unemployment from the first?

You may still be able to work when you are collecting unemployment benefits without losing your benefits. Rules vary from state to state, but typically if you work for less than a certain threshold of your former salary (e.g. 80%), unemployment will pay the difference between what you make and that threshold.

It seems you are asking whether you can work in State A and not notify State B where you collect unemployment, which is benefits fraud and is against the law, carrying severe penalties.

Can you collect unemployment and day trade stocks.If you make money day trading will it be taking from your unemployment?

The stocks that you have currently being traded are assets and are not liquid, just like a house would be an asset that appreciates but is not considered cash-in-hand. If the asset remains in a non-liquid form but increases in value, even if it's traded, this should not affect unemployment insurance benefits. Capital gains occur when the stock is sold for a higher price than what it was originally purchased for and does become liquid, i.e. becomes cash-in-hand. Capital gains do have to be reported to the IRS and are taxed. If the capital gain is liquidated (sold), such may be considered as income that may affect unemployment insurance benefits dollar-to-dollar, but to make absolutely sure that the investment liquidation is privy to a reduction in benefits, I would call your local ESC office. I could not find anything in WA's ESC laws that state, specifically, the relationship between capital gains and unemployment compensation...then again, more than likely, not many people have this issue. At any rate, again, I would call the local ESC and I would think about calling your CPA to discuss the difference between how each are reported at the end of the year.

How does 401k disbursement affect unemployment in Texas?

In some states your unemployment benefits would be offset by the disbursement, especially that part of it which was contributed to by your employer. This is generally done in the week received against the week you got benefits.

<><>

This depends on what state you work in. Some are very liberal and others deduct pensions, retirements, Social Security, etc. so you need to contact your own state's employment office to find out what yours would do.

Some states offset your unemployment by a portion (usually the employer's contribution) and others aren't effected.

How long do you have to work for a company to receive unemployment?

It's not really a matter of how long that you have been with one company. Your entire work history is evaluated, for the last year or so, the reason you left your last employer is an important consideration, as well as when you last received EI benefits. Generally, though 12 weeks of continuous employment will give you some benefits.

Can pastors receive unemployment benefits?

I'm so sorry for your loss. Been there.

Generally, you can't receive benefits since churches are not required by law to pay into unemployment insurance for their employees. Some churches do, so it's worth asking. Your only other recourse is to prove your church was a hostile workplace. This process could turn ugly, however, if you have been fired from a church position, the situation is already most likely pretty ugly. See your local unemployment office or website for information on starting this process.

In lieu of benefits, some churches will offer severance packages. Pastors would be wise to seek out help from local denominational leaders to negotiate for them and increase their chances of receiving benefits. Given the state of the economy, it is completely fair to ask for six months benefits, but most churches settle for three or less.

Don't allow a crushed self-esteem to keep you from applying for other ministry jobs right away. Ask other ministers' advice on how to explain your departure to future employers. Also, seek at least a part-time job while you wait. You will most likely be grossly over-qualified for the job, but at least you'll have the peace of mind of having an income, and you can quit as soon as God leads you to your new ministry opportunity.

If you get arrested can you still receive unemployment benefits?

How long do you need to be employed to collect NJ state unemployment benefits?

It took me almost three weeks. They just have to take their time verifying your paperwork and whatnot. Besides your first week is unpaid so you have to keep that in mind and if you are granted benefits, you won't get them until your third week of claiming them. It never hurts to call them.

Well, that all depends on what was the outcome why you were separated from your job, if it was a no fault of your own. Here in New Jersey and many States they set a penalty of up to 6 weeks if you were fired, Keep in mind if you were fired for misconduct you will be mailed a letter that you do not qualify for benefits for 6 weeks from the date you file without retroactive pay, if you were lay-ed off, or your hours were cut then you will have no problems of receiving within a week. I was fired Sept 22, 2009 I filed that day and receiving a letter for a phone interview on Oct 8th during the interview via Phone I explained why I was terminated ;fortunately my story was the same in which the company stated but the failed to mention a few things which was in my favor. On the 14th my unemployment was in my direct Deposit account I receive from the State of New Jersey the maximum of 601.00 weekly and I will be moving to San Antonio Texas. There are times when people do have to wait a bit longer, keep in mind if you were fired don't let anyone tell you that you will not receive unemployment that is false, you have to do commit a "Gross Misconduct" to be denied benefits, Good luck.

How long are unemployment benefits in Nevada?

As in most states, Nevada's base period is the first 4 quarters of the last 5 completed calendar quarters. Now, you have to earn at least $400 in one of those quarters, and the total base period earnings has to be at least 1 1/2 times the highest quarter's earnings, OR you had to have earnings in at least 3 of 4 of those quarters. This could include several jobs, the last probably being the one charged, in most cases.
