Unemployment Benefits Question
 

I'm getting laid off of my job in January. They said I could transfer to another store, but if I do that, my pay will be 1/3 of what it is right now. I was told by a couple people, that unemployment will pay me the difference or a percentage of the difference btwn what I make now and what I would make. Is this true? How does this work and what do I need to do to get this etc? Thanks guys!

don't know, but you have the better part of a month to find a new job.

depends on your state/income/dependents

Ohio will pay 50% of the difference I believe.....

How about you go and get a job that pays you enough or you get a second job. I dont understand why my tax dollars should be paying your supplimental income.

hey there dick. I pay taxes to. I'm not looking to get unemployment and not work at all. I cant survive on $7 an hour. I need at least what I am making now, and its hard enough to get a job around here (small town, SC) that pays more than $6.75 an hour. I go to school full time for an acocunting degree, so I cannot work two jobs. I am going to some temp agencies next week to try and get an acocunting position...so we'll see how that goes. But I need to know if anyone is familiar with the unemployment situation in case I cant find a decent job.

I went on unemployment when i was 19. Got around half my pay but I went to school rather than back to work. I recommend calling edd and talking to a rep from your state

Thanks for the help. I plan to call or visit the unemployment office next week as well as searching for new jobs.
