Hi i have moved from New York to Oregon. I originally began my claim for UI benefits in NY and have been claiming benefits for about the last month and a half. I called the UI office in NY to update them on my move to Oregon and they updated my information/address and said that i am to keep claiming benefits from NY like i have in the previous weeks, but to let my presence be known to the nearest unemployment office here in Portland, OR. Im a bit unclear on this last bit, what must i do to let my presence be known exactly? Would this require a simple call and telling them that I am claiming from NY but now living in OR, or a physical visit and what kind of paper work may I considering having handy?
Thanks!
Noah,
I suggest you speak to the Unemployment Office for clarification in this regard.
Can I file for unemployment extension in Texas after a year?
Angie,
The E.U.C(Emergency Unemployment Compensation) remains expired. There is no extension available. Please inquire further with the labor authorities in your state by calling them.
I have exhausted my unemployment benefits in the state of Texas. When I called and asked how to go about with the extension, I was told that the extension were done away with in 2013. I’ve been looking for work and have yet to find something. Is it possible to receive an extension or are my exhausted benefits the end of the line? And if there is a way for an extension, how do I go about the claiming process?
Jarese,
I can understand your situation. The E.U.C(Emergency Unemployment Compensation) remains expired. There is no extension available.
I’ve been receiving UI bennifits for 3 months. I was surprised yesterday when I opened an email asking for one of the companies information, why I left, etc. I called the UI office this morning and was told that this fortune 100 company is able to reply, furthermore fight my claim and possibly making me pay back the claim. I’m just very confused how they, the old company can chime in 12 weeks after my claim was already processed. Even more confused, as the original letter has that companies name on it.
Thanks!
Evan,
If you suspect something amiss, please raise an issue with the Unemployment Office. This might be a classic case of fraud.

Hi Jeff,
I am in California and last month I exhausted all of my unemployment, I turned 61 and never thought that age would be such an issue but can’t seem to land a job. Question – if I don’t get a job by the end of my “current benefits years end” can I open a new claim and be able to receive additional unemployment after my current benefits year runs out?
Thanks, Don
Donald,
Please note UI benefits are not revolving in nature. Please call the Unemployment Office to inquire about additional benefits.
Can you receive unemployment while receiving severance payments or do you need to wait until all severance is paid to start receiving unemployment?
If you are receiving continuing severance payments, you are not eligible to file for UI benefits until those payments end. You should file your claim after 7 days of the receipt of your last severance payment.
Kathleen,
If the severance is a one-time payout, you can apply right away. Please call the Unemployment Office for clarification.
I’m confused. When I called the Texas Workforce Commission they said Emergency Unemployment Compensation has not been offered in Texas since 2013.
I asked about Extended Benefits. They took my information and I received a determination that I was eligible. The next day I got another determination that I was not eligible due to:
” Issue: Insufficient Wages Between Benefit Years
Decision: Your claim is not valid. We have cancelled your claim and cannot pay you benefits.
Reason for Decision: Our investigation found you have not earned wages equal to six (6) times
your weekly benefit amount since the beginning date of your last benefit year.
Date of Cancelled Claim: 09-22-19
Beginning Date of Your Last Benefit Year: 09-16-18
Law Reference: Subsection 207.021(a)(7) of the Texas Unemployment Compensation Act.”
Actually I had earned ~30k from a severance package since the beginning date of my last benefit year.
Six times my weekly benefit amount is only~ $3k??
Any idea?
Any help would be appreciated.
I have been trying very hard to get a number I can call to have one (1), I say again one (1), question answered. I am a contractor and have been working in many states in the course of my career. My last job was here in Mobile AL at ST Engineering Aerospace and I saw something about needing to be employed for 18 months in Alabama to qualify for benefits. I had a claim in Tennessee and they have a way of filing when you have worked in different states. I forget what it is called but my question to you is does Alabama have a way that I can file after working in different states?
