I can't speak for there but in TN my position was eliminated back in June. I got one 600 check then it went back to 250 taxed. I don't get no unemployment in November even though my new position doesn't start till Dec 6th. I've worked and payed in since I was 16. 20 years now. I'm can reapply in June next year but obviously I got a new job.

That is why unemployment should be reimagined as an insurance programmed backed by the government. Since your employer is paying those premiums based on your salary, it should build up in an account with a value based upon your salary and how long you have paid into it. That way you can only initially collect what was paid into it.

That way regardless of how you left your last job, you have a bridge to your next one especially in a right to work state where an employer has the right to fire you for any reason.

Once the funds are exhausted from your unemployment account, you are only eligible for extended benefits if you can prove your unable to find work that are funded by a loan on your future unemployment premiums to a max of 3 months per occurrence.

Anyone gaming the system, can be banned for life from receiving extended benefits.
