Long story short, my company was in PA, filed for bankruptcy and started a new company in DE only 3 months ago. I've worked for the same person for 3.5 years....however with 2 companies, in 2 states. Do I only get to file in DE since the current company is DE? I'm thinking yes, but that makes me angry. PA unemployment is much better than DE and I live in PA. 423760 2010-12-27T09:25:48-08:00 Shellie Defont I hope everyone in New Jersey keeps warm and stays safe! 423950 2010-12-06T20:50:12-08:00 Chris I worked for a company in California.

He is thinking of taking a temp job in Georgia a couple of months. How long can he work in Georgia before it becomes the state that his unemployment benefits draw off of when the temp job is done? The max rate in Georgia is 200.00/wk less than Nevada 423910 2010-11-16T10:54:17-08:00 Amy Hi, I live in MD,My?

I went to my local unemployment office to file for benefits and found it to be a complete nightmare. The people working there were extremely rude and were not helpful at all. I had to figure out most of the paperwork myself in the hopes I did it correctly. Not a great experience by any means. 423920 2010-08-18T01:46:26-07:00 Laura-Jo Smith I have been working for a fire & rescue for the past 3 years. The first 1 1/2 years went good. Then a very unscruplious man got elected president. He harrassed and made up things about people. 2 of my fellow workers left the Co. I have a contract with them, children to feed and bills to pay. Tonight when I went in and he was there with papers that said I had been terminated yesterday. And there is a bunch of his made up lies about me. With an "Agreement and Mutual Releases" he wanted me to read these papers and sign them. In the papers they (HE) more or less wants me to give up my unemployment for 2 weeks pay, and if I do git unemployment he wants me to pay the Co. what I get, and In these papers he says that I have been insabordant among other things. I know that it does not work that way. My question is how do I explain to unemployment that my seperation from work is not of my doing, when this guy is saying it is. I am going to talk to a lawyer, but will I be able to collect? Please HELP! 423810 2010-07-31T13:46:53-07:00 Hank Unfortunately I also have a question that involves me and not my son. I was part of a reduction in force when my company let 1000 executive position go all around the country. I was on an interstate claim in Utah as well because of work I had done there in 2008. I had twenty weeks and then since my income was coming from a Georgia company I had to file in Georgia. I got 19 weeks in Georgia and still have 6 weeks to go on the initial state claim. If needed will I get a first tier extension from Georgia? Or do I have to go back and file an inter-state claim in Utah? Thanks for any input and direction you can give, Confused in Florida.
