Can you collect unemployment benefits in the two states you worked in in the past 2 years?

It isn't a question of whether you were in a 'previous state' but whether you had qualified earned income credits and other requirements to receive those benefits. If you weren't qualified there, then no, otherwise, yes.

∙ 14y agoYou should file for unemployment in both states, advising each of them about your work in the other state. Because of the interstate unemployment benefits agreement among states, they should work out the differences between them so you are not over-claiming and thus possibly guilty of unemployment fraud. Most states require reporting earnings in the first 4 quarters of the last 5 complete quarters, so your 2 years would fall in that window.

Can you get unemployment if you worked for a nonprofit organization in Ohio?
Religious nonprofits have the option to not pay unemployment to the state. If they choose not to pay unemployment then the employee cannot collect unemployment. If they do pay unemployment costs to the state then the employee can collect unemployment benefits. Nonreligious organizations do have to pay unemployment, but they can pay the state one of two ways. As a state tax rated employer (same as a for profit company) or as a direct reimbursurer. In this case the employee is able to collect unemployment benefits. Referenced from www.chooseust.com

Can you get unemployment after working 2 months?
Whether or not you are eligible for unemployment benefits depends on a lot of factors (i.e. the state you live in, the amount of time you worked at your job, the number of hours worked, the nature of the employment) but only working at a job for 2 months you would probably not be eligible to collect unemployment benefits.
Can you receive unemployment if you never worked?
No. You only collect unemployment benefits from the "liable state" (which collected payroll taxes from the employer an applicant had worked for). However, if you had worked in another state during the current base year for that state, the "agent state" (where you live) can help you collect from that state.

Can you collect unemployment benefits while you are on Social Security for widows?
You can generally still collect unemployment while collecting social security, unless it is social security disability...even then you still might be able to. I worked for the Unemployment Office & just an FYI, they do not know if you are on social security and are unable to check, so if you do not say anything, they will never know.

Most states will merely offset your benefits by the back pay in the week(s) received, but you must report it or it will cause problems.The state unemployment agency will ask the former employer the last day you worked for which you were paid. It will deny you benefits for any day you were owed pay.
