Furlough and Unemployment Benefits
As the Corona Virus slams our industry further and further into oblivion, many of us will Inevitably be laid off/furloughed for months. This brings us to an EXTREMELY important set of questions that I and many others would like the answers to... So I'll field them to this awesome community to answer.
1. How much unemployment are we eligible to collect? (Different state by state?) 2. If I live in one state, am domiciled in another, and the company HQ is in yet another, which state do I file a claim under? 3. How long can I collect? |

The reason you want to start with your residence is because it will be easier to go to unemployment office appointments in your home town. HQ location is not a factor, the job site was your domicile.

In previous downturns, benefits have been extended longer than that, and it's a very safe assumption this time. I have a friend in CA who was recently on unemployment for 3+ years, when the economy was good. They kept paying her while she tried to find work in her field (marketing), didn't seem to want her to get a fast-food job. |
