Spouse on unemployment?

Question

If my spouse is on unemployment and I get a job will he get kicked off of unemployment.

Answer 1

No, it is based on whether or not he is working.

You could make 200k a year and it would not affect his case at all.

I am on unemployment now and my husband works.

It is best if he applies as soon as possible.

Answer 2

No, unemployment eligibility is based on the individual, not the household.  Welfare-type programs are generally based on the family income, but not programs you've paid into like social security retirement or unemployment comp.

Answer 3

No.  Each person stands on their own record.

Answer 4

no. my husband was on unemployment when he first got out of the military for awhile...i was working the whole time.

Answer 5

go on line  

Answer 6

NOPE, your work does not impact his ability to collect based on his work history

but it's only good for 26 weeks anyway, so hopefully he's job hunting--it is a requirement of collecting unemployment
