You may file your unemployment claim in any state that you move to, however, if you worked in the private sector, your claim will be referred back to New York for processing. Many spouses are eligible for unemployment but fail to make the claim in the new state they move to. Give your local office a call and file a claim to be sure you do not miss out on any benefits for which you are eligible. Former military personnel are also eligible for unemployment and should have received the phone number of the Veteran's Rep at the local department of labor in the state that they are moving to. If for some reason you have not, contact the TAP manager at ACS for the information.
Opportunities exist locally as well as nationwide.
