If I live in Washinton but worked in Idaho whre do I file for unemployment?
Have you worked? If not, no. You have to work before you file for it.
New York
It's not a matter of whether you work as a consultant but whether you meet all the tests for eligibility of unemployment benefits. Part time work may be permissible, depending on earnings versus benefits, etc.
You file for unemployment in the "liable state". In this case, you work in Iowa, the "liable state", but because of the interstate unemployment compensation laws, you can file in a state other than the "liable" one and they will work with the other state to help you.
I worked in Ma but like in Nh where do I file for unemployment ?
If you got unemployment in 2012 you do have to file taxes if you didn't have the taxes taken out of the unemployment you received.
If you met the work requirements for filing unemployment, then yes you can file for unemployment while on Social Security.
You file for unemployment from the "liable state" which collects the unemployment insurance from the employer you worked for. In this case, the "liable state" is New York. You can file in Pennsylvania, as the "agent state", but it is New York that Pennsylvania would contact in your behalf.
I can't answer it but I like pies.
In that situation, technically you'd get disability rather than unemployment. The two are often handled through the same agency, though.
Under the Interstate Unemployment Agreement provisions you could file in either, but preferably in New York since it is the "liable state" which collected the unemployment taxes from your employer.
