How Do You Transfer Unemployment Benefits To Another State?

To transfer unemployment benefits to another state requires only a few simple steps. Transferring unemployment benefit can be accomplished either online, by phone or by mail. Naturally, it is also possible to do this in person at the nearest unemployment benefit office.

• Details Needed

No matter which way a transfer is initiated, it is important to have some details ready at hand. These include: Government issued identification, Social Security card and a telephone number or a contact number where messages may be left. At some point, proof of the new address may also be required.

• Online Transfer

The first step is to find the website of the unemployment agency currently being used. If the address of this website is not known, it can be located on the America's Service Locator website.

Once on the correct website, a link for an address change should be found. Some agency sites do not offer this service; in this case, changes will have to be made by phone or mail. If the link is present, the change of address can be entered.

It is then necessary to register with the agency in the new state. The above link will again help to locate the correct state agency.

• By Phone

Phone numbers may also be found on the above link. Again it is a matter of informing the current agency of the change of address and then registering with the new agency in the new state of residence.

• By Mail

To transfer by mail, the change of address section on the weekly claim form should be filled in. The form is then posted as usual. This option should only be employed if the claimant will be at the new address in time for the next payment. It is then again necessary to register in the new state.

I   just moved from Pennsylvania to Georgia and I want to transfer my unemployment how do I do this?

If I quit my job in chicago illinois to take care of my father who lives in california, where does my unemployment come from illinois or california.  And can I still receive unemployment for quitting my job?

Depending on the states unemployment rate you might lose it. If it is extended unemployment then probably yes you would. If it is regular unemployment then probably not. I would just call your local unemployment office and ask them!

Just change your address on the form, they will mail a letter and make you do a telephone interview to determine how many days it took you to move (so you won't get paid for those days because you weren't looking for work) and you can continue to collect.

I just moved from Georgia to Ct and I want to transfer my unemployment how do I do this?

The answer to my question was not correct.  I contacted the unemployment office in the state I had lived in and I can continue receiving benefits.  All I had to do was give them my new address  thanks

I will be transferring to North Carolina, and am currently receiving benefits in Virginia.

You will need to transfer your case to the other state.  Or cancel it and reapply in the new state you move to.  Good luck.

You file only in the State you worked...your employer in the State you worked pays the monies to that State thus that's the only State you can collect from...this just changed recently however.
