@Leafyseadragon it is very possible that this employee is paying taxes to two states…one as a resident, and one as a non-resident.
This is a little different…but might apply. My DH worked for a company in our home state. The company, however, was based in another state. When this satellite office closed, the employees laid off applied for benefits in this state, not where the company was based.
dont companies pay into a fund for unemployment? If so…where was the OP’s company paying?
But also, how,would one go about applying for benefits in a state in which they don’t reside…that might be hundreds…or thousands of miles from where they actually work and reside?
