If I apply for unemployment benefits in CA, can I still collect while living in OK

[Whoa_Nelly]

and looking for a job there?

A teacher i work with said I could, but I am not convinced.
:shrug:

1. Yes.

My step-father collected UI from Montana when he moved back here after working there for several years.

[Whoa_Nelly]

3. THank you!

Good to see you LeftyMom! :hi: :loveya:

2. Several years ago when we moved back to OH, my DH still collected

through Michigan. He'd opened the Michigan claim when the plant closed up there and it was about 5 or 6 months before we moved back here and another almost 6 months after that before he found a job.

4. Thanks!

But, can I file when I still have contract pay until end of July?
Or, should I wait until that is done?

School is out on May 29, but my contract was for 12 months, so I'll get last paycheck on July 31.

8. The nearest explanation I can find is from their website:

http://www.edd.ca.gov/Unemployment/Need_More_Information.htm

#9:

Whether you are receiving, or expect to receive any payments from a former employer. We ask about this because some types of payments may be deducted from your benefits. A few examples of payments that may be deducted include wages, pension payments, holiday pay, and vacation or sick pay.

I don't know if there is someone available to speak with about that at CA's unemployment bureau or not. So many things are automated now that speaking to a real person can take days or weeks.

12. Thanks for that info, Diadem

Am bookmarking this thread for reference.
Am going to contact them next week.

Thanks!!!! :hi:

5. I think you can, there isn't a residency requirement to receive

unemployment I don't think.

:hi:

[Whoa_Nelly]

6. Do I have to wait until my last paycheck?

I get that on July 31 because am on a 12 month contract.
Am moving to OKC within the month, and will be seeking employment there.
My actual working days end next Friday when school gets out

9. Generally, you can't collect if you're still getting paid

So although you may not be working, you can't collect UI if you are still getting paid by your current employer. However, there are exceptions and you should check with the unemployment office to be sure.

10. THanks, nnns!

I did look it up on the CA website.
As long as I have reduced hours or not having actual working hours, I can apply :hi:

11. That sounds right!

I was on UI about five years ago and I remembered that there were some exceptions for a lot of stuff, especially when it comes to reduced hours/PT work, etc.

Good luck on the job hunt! :D

17. now that I don't know...

[SPKrazy]

7. Yes

I collected PA unemployment while living in California. It should be no problem.

[Whoa_Nelly]

13. whew

am going to get all details this next week.
no job and moving really sucks. x(

Thanks for chiming in here, livetohike! :hi: :loveya: ;pals:

[livetohike]

19. No problem - I've "been there and done that" so often in my

life. :hug: hang in there. This too will pass :hi:.

14. My dear Whoa_Nelly!

I must have missed something...

The last I heard/saw, you were hoping to get a job here...You must not have gotten it...You were talking about credits in that thread.

I'm so sorry, sweetie...

The bastards don't know what they're doing, do they?

:hug:

[Whoa_Nelly]

15. The bastards are professional homewreckers and heartbreakers

Yes, am moving. :(

Hey! Are you having fun???
Can't wait 'til you start posting trip pics! :hi: :loveya: :hug:

[Whoa_Nelly]

16. If I have inherited income, will that affect being able to get full benefits?

THAT is something I can't find online. :(

The inherited income is never the same amount...unreliable amounts monthly & not enough to live on.


Am I screwn? :scared:
