Unemployment benefits extended in the 2009 economic stimulus plan

Previously, unemployed workers were eligible for 26 weeks of unemployment benefits. As as result of this bill, unemployment benefits was extended by 20 weeks regardless of which state they live in. In some higher-unemployment states such as California, there will be another 13 weeks of unemployment benefits available as well.

Total weeks of unemployment available:

  • Low-unemployment state - eligible for 46 weeks of benefits.
  • High-unemployment state - eligible for 59 weeks of benefits.
Increased unemployment benefits by $25 per week.Although it varies from from state to state, the average unemployment benefit payout will be increased by $25 to about $325 per week.

Your claim lasts for one year, but the full amount is 26 times the weekly benefit amount, currently at $405 max.

If you live in New York and work in New York where do you file an unemployment claim?

Answer: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. If you work 18 months only in New York, but live outside the state, you MUST file with New York. If you worked in 2 or more states, you can file in any of them, or even combine your earnings from several employers. See the Related Link below for more details.

Can you collect unemployment after working for a nonprofit in New Jersey?

Religious nonprofits have the option to not pay unemployment. If they choose not to pay then the employee cannot collect unemployment. If they do pay unemployment to the state then the employee can collect. 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. Referenced from www.chooseust.com
