Pilot unemployment how it works?
So, question about pilot unemployment. I know we pay taxes on the state we live in, not work. When furloughed, does the claim go via my state, or via the state I work. Say I work in a state that pays $300/week max, but live in one that pays $450/week max. How does this work out, from someone who has been here.
Even more complicated how does it work if I moved mid year from one base to another and moved states.

From my experience, I've been collecting unemployment from the state I was based in which also happened to be the same state my company was HQ'd in. It ain't much and it takes time to get all your ducks in a row but might as well since something's better than nothing.
Stack that paper.

You will not be able to collect from the state you live in. You must collect from the state where you were based. Thats where your company paid into the unemployment system on your behalf If you changed bases in the last 18 months, you can collect from either state, so pick the one that pays most.

It's very simple, call your state's unemployemnt claims number. Just tell them the insurance money is in another state(where your company is based), they'll hook you up and do the rest. All you have to do is watch that money pile up!

In my personal experience it was the state where I was based. I lived in Virginia and paid taxes there but when I filed a claim it was denied. After calling HR, they told me to file in the state I was based. Sure enough they were right.

. Complete thread drift, but I have gotten some food for thought in case of the F word coming around my way.

First time I lived in Texas, company was Texas based, I was based in IN - I got TX UI. Second time I was still in TX, company was NY and I was based overseas. They were taking NY UI out of my paycheck so it was obvious where to apply.
It's a matter of where the company paid the UI. They first company paid the state you lived in.

I agree on calling a state office and talking to someone. I think it depends on the time period the state uses to compute your benefits. They told me I had income in 3 different states and I could do a combined claim to get benefits from all 3 so to file in which state had the highest max benefits.
