Although laws vary from state to state, many states require that you earned a defined amount of wages (typically referred to as bona fide wages) with your most recent separating employer for that separation to be considered. You should determine what that formula is for the state in which you are filing. If you did not earn sufficient wages to be considered bona fide with the employer where you worked three months, then separation information would be obtained from the employer where you last earned the qualifying wages. If you did earn bona fide wages with the employer where you worked three months, and you have an employment history that defines you as monetarily eligible (check with the state to see the specific requirements for monetary eligibility), and were separated due to no fault of your own, then you should meet all requirements to receive benefits and the length of the employment does not matter.

It depends. Not every employee who loses his job can expect to collect unemployment. As a general rule, former employees are eligible for unemployment compensation when they're not responsible for their dismissal. As an ex-employee in Georgia you could not collect unemployement benefits if you quit your job. Being laid off due to the economy after working 13 months at a job in Georgia would be sufficient to receive unemployment.

Laws governing unemployment insurance vary from state to state. However, states require that you earn qualifying wages and there are existing formulas for each state. The best answer for this question without knowing the specific state would be that you could "possibly" be monetarily eligible for benefits after only working six months depending upon the reason you were separated from employment. Anyone interested in the monetary qualification for unemployment benefits should be specific regarding the state in which they will file.

It depends on the state you work in. The amount you earn is compared to the benefits you would receive, to make that determination.

Every state has its own rules and laws concerning criteria to be eligible. You need to look up the requirements for the state you worked in for specifics.

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 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 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 in a state other than the one you last worked?
