Each state has its own rules but generally you need base year wages in your state to collect your state's unemployment, not just because you live there. If you have wages in 3 states do some research to determine which state will pay the highest weekly rate and file with them. Whatever the state, they will pull all 3 states wages together to get your weekly rate.
