I will be unemployed as of June 1st, I am a resident of Florida working for a not-for-profit in New York.

For the last 2 years my hours were cut, now my position is being cut....I was employed by a NY State company, I worked out of my FL location. I did not pay unemployment for the last 2 years because I was told I didn't need to pay to NY, because I didn't live or work there. I used telecommunications with NY to do my work.
May I receive unemployment benefits from FL?


Hi Barbara,

What do you mean you didn't pay unemployment? Employers pay unemployment tax.

Where were they paying the unemployment taxes, or were you an independent contractor .. in other words .. self-employed?
