Just wondering if anyone knows enough to maybe answer this: Since my UI benefits in a neighboring state will run out real soon (I've looked very hard for full time work though and will look even harder in the coming weeks thanks to that), I can collect UI benefits in OR, since that is where my job was. However, I possibly made, over the period that they says that they are going to use for wages, not even 6K, pretty sad. What % of your wages do they normally use to determine a weekly benefits amount? When I had my claim in another state, they gave me maximum weekly benefits since I made enough money, guessing 30K during the period. This states formula may be different from OR's.
Also, I (fraud was not determined) was overpaid by the neighboring state. Can they go to OR (or will OR on their own) withhold part of my UI benefits because I got overpaid through another, not their, state? I learned that for all partical purposes, my states UI bennies ran out this week, since they are going to take all of my last check and apply it towards an overpayment.
Of course, I would much, much rather be working full time, but I want some idea of what I have too look forward to under OR UI benefits. They will not tell you this information in advance. Thanks
