Someone will get all your info(including how much you made 1st year as a professional airline pilot
) and your SSN, which gives them info on which state has your unemployment money. After that you get the forms you have to fill out in the mail, you start getting your check in about 2 weeks.
I don't know that I would call it relatively painless...it took me a month of paperwork back and forth and a phone call interview to determine I was eligible.... this week I recieved three back checks....if you're planning on using unemployment to eat (which I wasn't) you may want to find a job sooner rather than later.... on the original question... you can file in either OH..the payroll address of our company...the state of your base OH, TN or NC or where you perm residence. In my case the amount from my perm residence is the most, not every state is the same. The amount you get is based on what you made LAST year...so if you were a starving flight instructor..plan on very little unemployment.
