I had an unemployment claim that I collected for about 6 weeks then went to work for a new company (last year).
I am not working for the new company now and can file for unemployment again and when I read the information on the website, I thought I needed to reopen my original claim. I did this but have since realized (through other materials I have since read) that I should have filed a new claim. Is it my understanding that if the old claim is reopened, I will be paid from that claim award amount and the Unemployment office won't take into consideration that the income and base pay is more now? (because based on my income since this claim was made, I would be paid higher bi-weekly payments).
Should I file a new claim now to get the ball rolling or call them tomorrow (as if I'll ever get a live person...-I only filed to reopen my old claim online about a week ago and haven't even received paperwork yet)? What should I do?
Thanks...Franny
