Best unemployment benefits? DC/Va/Md? (Great Falls: income, taxes, live in)

[314Pie]

I live in va.
my company is in md.
I goto client sites which are located in dc, va, and md.

I've been employed w/them since Jan and there's rumor of mass layoffs by June.

I think I'm eligible to file in any of the 3 jurisdictions because i've worked in each, right?
Which one pays the most? (I make $80k/yr)

Thx

1. You have to file where the company is located -- Maryland in this case.
2. Pretty sure DC is most generous, then Maryland, and Virginia is last.

FYI I think you would qualify for about $2200 a month based on your income. (About 33% of your gross income)

Were you employed before this job? I think you have to have been working continuously for almost a year to qualify (can be more than 1 employer).

You'd have to file in Maryland. The maximum weekly benefit amount for MD is $430. (FWIW, DC is $359 & VA is $378)

(I get another post count without adding anything constructive too!) (who knew!)

BTW, since you didnt like my answer in the Great Falls thread, maybe you can provide your own answer without being passive aggressive. I wont count on it...

Instead of collecting the tax payer's money, why don't you get off your ass and start looking for a new job?

As OP is currently a "tax payer", I don't see why anyone would take issue with him/her utilizing an unemployment benefit that his/her taxes are helping to fund.

Employers are the taxpayer in this case, not the employee.

I'm pretty sure everyone continues to pay taxes.

OP states he makes around $80k a year. $2200 would indeed be about 1/3rd of his gross income.
