where do I file Texas interstate unemployment claim if I live in NC
New York
You would file in Rhode Island, the "liable state", because it is the one who collected unemployment taxes from your employer.
Generally, unemployment benefits are paid by the state in which you worked. If you live in Connecticut and work in New York you most likely collect unemployment benefits from the state of New York.
I worked in NY for 6 months. I live in New Jersey. I was told by NJ Unemployment when I tried to claim benefits that I would have to claim my unemployment benefits in the State of NY.
You file for unemployment from the "liable state" which collects the unemployment insurance from the employer you worked for. In this case, the "liable state" is New York. You can file in Pennsylvania, as the "agent state", but it is New York that Pennsylvania would contact in your behalf.
Under the Interstate Unemployment Agreement provisions you could file in either, but preferably in New York since it is the "liable state" which collected the unemployment taxes from your employer.
If I live in Washinton but worked in Idaho whre do I file for unemployment?
Because Massachusetts is the "liable state", which pays the benefits, you have to either file with them or you can file in Kentucky, who will act as your "agent state" and will help you process your claim.
The employer pays its unemployment taxes to the state the employer is located in. You might file your claim with the state you live in, but your state would then process the claim through the "liable state".
This is more a disability claim than unemployment. I would check your specific state for disbaility requirements first. However, unemployment may make up the difference ... depending on the state you live in.
I really feel this has a lot to do with the state you live in and which insurance company you have. If you live in New York, I believe you have 24 hours to make a claim.
