    Cool Collecting unempolyment

    Has anyone ever heard of someone collecting unempolyment after ending there contract? Is it possible?
    Is it possible to get some of this FED OASDI/EE OR FED MED/EE
    BACK DURING TAX RETURNS. THIS IS A TAX WE ALL PAY AS CONTRACTORS?

    From what I hear, it's not possible, but then again if your state collected taxes from you while working in a tax exempt foreign country then I would say that you have every right to unemployment benefits. More than likely if you file you would have to go before an unemployment agency judge and plead your case.

    I was able to draw unemployment when I came back. But I demobed early due to a situation that accorded. Once back in Texas, I was awarded unemployment with no hassle at all. So, to answer your question. Yes it is possible. But I'm not sure as far as completing your contract and trying to draw at that point. That's a different story, maybe.

    Default Unemployment...

    This is my specialty. To answer your question - yes you would be entitled to unemployment as long as you, the employee, completed the contract. If you resigned or was discharged before the contract was completed...unemployment compensation may be in question!

    The guy above you just said and experienced the opposite. I'm sure all state laws are different. I'm also guessing that if you paid state taxes on overseas earnings then your qualified, but like I said it depends on the state.
