If you move out of state, can you still collect unemployment?

No. You can only collect it from the state you currently live in.

That is why people should not be judged without having all the facts. You can not collection unemployment if you move to another state. You have to be available and looking for work in the state your collecting in to qualify for unemployment in that state. You might look for jobs online for work in the new state. Good Luck.

Most states will allow you to collect while living elsewhere, BUT you have to be available for work in the state from which you are collecting. Therefore, if you are offered a job in your previous state and refuse to accept the job, you will be terminated from unemployment compensation benefits. That your husband was transferred is generally irrelevant.

This depends on the rules of each state involved. For example, NY will allow anyone who moves to NY because of a spouse's job transfer to collect until they find a job in NY, even if they had to quit their old job because of a spouse's job transfer, and did not truly lose a job involuntarily. However, NJ will not allow a person to collect in that situation, because NJ only allows unemployment when the previous employer is responsible for the ending of the job. CA has additional rules that if you move while collecting, even within CA, then you (1) cannot collect for the time that you cannot work (anywhere) because you are packing or are in transit between your old home and new home, (2) if you move from somewhere with fewer jobs than where you left without a good reason (not sure if the spousal job transfer is a good reason; I think it is), then you may be disqualified from collecting even after you finish moving.
