My husband lives in Dallas FortWorth and I live in Kansas City. I will be joining him soon. Will I be eligible for unemployment until I find a job?
I am a salary employee and am still at my job. However, my husband has been living in a different state for over a year and now it’s time for me to move so we can be a family.
Hi Anonymous,
It depends on whether you live in Kansas City, Kansas or Kansas City, Missouri.
Kansas has a provision that allows unemployment if a spouse was transferred or accepted new work at a location beyond a reasonable commuting distance.
Missouri only allows unemployment to quit and follow a spouse if the claimant and the spouse have the same employer. Ya right, that happens everyday. Talk about a stupid statute….unless it helps you out:)
