Let me explain….
I worked for a company in the morning and then travel and worked for another company. They are separate businesses but ran by the same person… so when they laid me off, I was laid off by both. How do I file. Only one or both? Please help?

$275/week isn’t bad; it’s $1,100/month. Who can’t live on that? (single individual, so lay-off you family guys/gals)

If your paying a mortgage above $800/month, you lose! Get out of it and move to where 1BR/1BA apartments are $500-$600 — that’ll leave you an equivalent $500-$600/month. You shouldn’t be spending more than $60/week for food; and the hell with restaurants fast or fancy — cook it yourself! (no, not frozen dinners)

The rest should cover your utilities; if not, cut-back! Unemployment benefits weren’t designed for the recipients to save part of it, or use it for “discretionary” purchases. Get frugal!

I was collecting unemploment in a state that I decided to draw from them and no combined states, just them, but I worked and collected and did not report, now the state I was drawing from has informed me that I need to persue the other state for additional benefits since I have run out in that state, now if I file with new state will the first state find out about the unreported wages, what’s your take on this, any input would be much appreciated.

Good old USA guarantees you the pursuit of happiness, with “Pursuit” being the key word. Are you telling me you pursued finding a job to the best of your ability for two years? What were you….. A BETA Video Player repairman?

I do not believe this is true. When I got out (long time ago so may not apply). The home of record State was used. Now days though, who knows? By the way, I was also denied unemployment back then because I could have re-enlisted so was considered quitting, which does not get you a thing. I hope that has changed but probably has not.

I am in the Army and am currently in Iraq. It has been brought to my attention, that since we are payed by the federal gov we can claim anywhere. The reason for this is because we didn’t work in any particular state according to the gov.
