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.
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.

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
