You should speak with an attorney.
First, you haven't mentioned your age. If you are too young for payments from your 401K you should have been given the opportunity to transfer the account to another plan. You could have set up a temporary individual retirement account at any bank, and the bank would have arranged a trustee to trustee transfer of your account that would not have affected the account at all. Your plan administrator should have explained that to you and you should have made inquiries.
By your taking a lump sum in cash, you will likely owe taxes.
Initially, to receive benefits from unemployment you must apply and qualify for the benefits. Provided you qualify the checks will be sent to you, or you could arrange to have them directly deposited into your account.
When a business closes, any funds in its unemployment compensation account are typically used to pay out unemployment benefits to eligible employees who have lost their jobs. The state unemployment insurance system may draw from this account to cover claims filed by former employees. If the account has insufficient funds to cover these claims, the state may use general funds or increase rates for remaining businesses to ensure benefits are paid. Ultimately, the goal is to support displaced workers during their transition to new employment.

I'm not an attorney, but generally any benefit payments from retirement/unemployment/social security/disability cannot be garnished. however, creditors will try to bank levy you in this situation. the trick is don't deposit any money where your benefits go, other than the benefits. A bank levy can be a tricky form of garnishment in this case. if you put any money into a particular account besides your benefits, then they can levy the entire account. maybe keep a separate account JUST for your benefits and take care never to make any deposit, other than the check or direct deposit from your benefits. You may stil get levied on that account, but you can prove it was benefits only and get your money back.
The worst news that you could possibly get is to hear that you are losing your job. If you are being laid off due to downsizing in the company or from no other fault of your own, then you can apply for unemployment online. This is the easiest way to apply because you don't have to go to an office and wait in long lines to talk to someone. Each state has different requirements when it comes to filing unemployment. You will need your most recent check stub, and you will also need the information of your employer. The unemployment office in the state will contact your employer to find out if your petition is true. If there is no response within a specified amount of time, then your unemployment will be granted. If there is any reason the employer is against you filing unemployment, then you will have to attend a hearing to decide whether you will receive benefits. After your application is processed, you will receive a letter in the mail and information online about your benefits. Your benefits are calculated based on an average of the prior six months that you worked. You can work while you are receiving unemployment, but there are limits on how many hours. You are required to complete a certain number of applications each week. The name and phone number of these places needs to be reported each week. Each Sunday, you will log in to your account and answer a few questions. Your benefits will then be deposited into the appropriate account the following day. You can have your benefits deposited into your bank account or on a state debit card. You will only receive unemployment benefits for a short amount of time, so you should seek another job as soon as possible.
There are several reasons why your PIN would be suspended for unemployment benefits in Georgia. The Department of Labor may have deactivated your account because you are no longer eligible or you may not have completed requirements such as filling out forms or actively applying for new work.
Rolling over your 401(k) into an IRA or another retirement account typically has no direct impact on your unemployment benefits. However, if you withdraw funds from your 401(k) instead of rolling them over, that income could affect your eligibility for unemployment benefits, as it may be considered taxable income. It's essential to check your state's regulations, as rules can vary. Always consult a financial advisor or unemployment office for personalized advice.
First of all, there is a sign-up bonus of $50 when you create an Orange Checking account. Secondly, there are no fees associated with the account. And finally, there is no minimum balance required.
I suspect it depends on the rate of income, and unemployment benefits in many states don't amount to a rate that the civil court would consider above the threshold to award a garnishment of that income (most likely the income will be garnished at the source organization, not a financial vehicle, unless a substantial stream of cash from no documentable source is recorded). Of course there may be poignant variation of garnishment procedure in the state where you originated the income (unemployment benefits in this case).
Unemployment benefits are usually paid by check, automatic deposit in claimant's checking account, or by debit card. Because each state determines it's own method of disbursement, it's best to check with your own state's employment security office for clarification.
Check the secured account messages in the unemployment account. Not all states offer this option but there should be a message with a download link to the W2 form.
They can freeze the account, but thet can't keep your unemployment income. You have to prove to them that it is unemployment income by getting copies of your bank statements showing the unemployment income.
