Hoping someone who has moved states and/or is familiar with labor law can answer my question. I've read through both NY and PA Unemployment websites and can't find what I'm looking for. Since I have to quit my job due to the move, I was wondering if I can apply for unemployment while I look for a new one. Which state do I apply with and do I meet the requirements? And if I quit a week or two before I move, as of what date can I file and what will I need to show to prove when I moved.

Unemployment Question

Well if you think of it this way- every Jow Blow in the world would quit thier job and collect unemployment if they could. hell, I could have used 12 weeks paid timeoff when we moved!
and a little unmentioned aspect of unemployment is that it's taxable income...so, they don't take the taxes out while you're collecting it but you have to pay the piper at tax time.

Whee, this year's taxes are going to be fun. Moving (2 different state's worth of income tax!), selling stock and options, severence pay from previous job, unemplyment for ~8 weeks, starting a new job, DH's scholarship, renting out our house here... I've always done my own taxes, but I think this year will be beyond me, or at least not worth the hassle.Sandy

Generally speaking you are ineligible for UC if you voluntarily quit your job. However, PA UC law recognizes times where you must voluntarily quit due to "necessitous and compelling" reasons. I don't remember if one of those "necessitous and compelling" reasons includes quiting because of a spousal job transfer. There is a lot of Pa case law addressing this very issue and it's been over a year since I worked so my memory is fuzzy. But, I suggest you apply and see if you qualify. It doesn't hurt to apply.

B) I hate to be the one to break it to you, but Ohio has CITY TAXES. I know, it's totally weird. You have to pay for the city where you live as well as the city where you work, so if you live in Cleveland Heights and work 3 miles down the street in Cleveland you have to pay both -- and they don't usually withhold for your city of residence so it's quarterly payments.

Well, I'll be working from home, so that's not an issue, but I guess if we live in a different "city" from the clinic, we'll maybe have to deal with that for DH's scholarship? Like I said, I'm thinking it's going to be beyond me this year.Sandy

Yeah, I had a bit of a crisis, and we decided I'd move, too.
Haven't found a renter yet, we're going to let the property management company handle that. We think we've found a decent company, though; have to meet with them sometime next week.
We've booked tickets for memorial day week to look around Cleveland and hopefully find a place to rent there, and get that all settled. Thankfully.Sandy

But, yeah, I'm sure your tax preparer will have a handle on all that. I'm just still scarred, and I'm not even the one who did the work! (DH insists on doing our taxes, but oooh there was a lot of cursing!)Alison
