claiming unemployment when your employed

[Elvis P.]

Does the Employment Development Derpartment know when you start a new job? Can you just keep taking the checks even when you do take a new job. As i see it, it is my money, i paid into it for all these years. There is 8,000 left in my fund and i want it. Any thoughts?

Your employer paid into your fund, not you. Nothing was deducted from your check. Yes, you will get caught.....I guarantee it!

I thought I was the one who paid into it. Well your probably right, not a good idea. Just a thought, thanks

Your employer pays a certain percentage rate of each and every payroll check issued. It is done quarterly. Depending on how much employee turnover the employer has that claims unemployment compensation determines this rate. Each quarter he pays that rate. He pays both a federal unemployment rate as well as a state unemployment rate.

The fact that your fund has xxxx amount of dollars in it does not guarantee you that you will collect that money. A lot of determining factors of why you were terminated will be considered before drawing said funds.
