Hi I have been working for the same company for over 25 years now. We were all told that in mid June the company would be shutting down. In the meantime (Mid May) i have applied and got a new job starting in 2 weeks. If i get let go from this new job (it is something totally new for me and less pay.) can i collect unemployment?
You can find the answer to this Patrick by checking out the NY Unemployment Interpretation Index.
On the same page which has links to Ui laws and precendent manuals (what the index is) I have also linked to the USDOL UI Law Comparison Charts. I use it sort of like an index of common issues to get a quick bead on. (it’s the non-monetary eligibility chartbook).
