I finally found a great new job and only after 4 months of working I have to leave because my husband has military orders to relocate to NC. Does anyone know if my short period of time of working effect me from receiving unemployment here in Florida?

Does anyone know when (what year) NC started allowing spouses to file due to a PCS?

I am so glad I came across this article. It cleared up a lot of confusion.

im currently going through the ue process with Viginia because we relocated to NY. You should file with VA and depending on your job they will deny you. Once you have been denied you need for file for an appeal and they will set up a phone interview with you, the va commision, and also your former employer. My interview is today at 3pm so wish me luck. I will let you know how it went

You would apply in the state you are leaving. This is because you pay into unemployment when you are employed, so you get the unemployment from the state you “paid into”.

I am also looking for the same answer. I reside in Virginia and my husband is relocating to Florida. Would I apply in Virginia or Florida?

Not sure if this was in regards to my question but I’m not PCSing overseas. It’s PCS to another state.

When you PCS, do you apply in your state of legal residence (where you pay taxes), the state which you are PCSing from, or the state you are PCSing to?

I am in CA but FL is my legal residence and therefore I do not pay state tax in CA. Would I still apply for unemployment in CA?

Can I somehow get in contact with you. I am also a military spouse. I am writing a legal article on this topic and would like to discuss this experience with you.
