Question about unemployment

[hepcat]

I lost my job at the end of December and I filed for unemployment. I'm currently getting a weekly deposit straight into my checking account. I'm considering moving out of state - how will this change the status of my unemployment? My understanding is the money I get comes from the state of NC, and the amount is dictated by tax money withheld while I was employed a year ago. Furthermore, how do I/is it possible to transfer my unemployment benefits to the state I move to?

Thank you for your help, in advance.

Yes, you should still get NC unemployment if you move out of state. My neighbor was getting out-of-state unemployment when he move here to NC for over a year. Not sure what you have to do, paperwork wise, but it should continue to pay you if you move. Check with the unemployment office.

Just dont say anything and keep filing as you normally would.

It might not be the proper way to do it, but it'll work.

Pretty sure there is a rule you have to live in the state every 30 days. You can probably say you are job hunting out of state. But if you are moving I would ask.
