Asking a question for a relative who is a flight attendant.
Relatives principal residence is NC, but their flight base is NYC. The airline is Delta who's HQ's is based in Atlanta, GA. They rent a crash pad with another person near NYC. They fly back and forth between NC/NYC all the time but often spend weeks (on and off) in NYC if they get international routes. They are furloughed at the end of this month and have only flown a fraction of the flights normally since Covid. Business is down 80% and they don't anticipate going back to work for months if at all.
They file state taxes in NC. Where should they be filing for unemployment? NC or NY or GA?
Does anyone know if they will be getting any $$ from the new relief bill? They are young and have no savings to speak of.
Any direction is appreciated.

Technically, based on the Localized - Non Localized provisions of unemployment regulation for airline personnel, your unemployment state would be the state where you are either assigned for your normal assignments. Example, if you live in St Louis but fly out of Mid-America (your home base), your unemployment state is IL no MO. If you have no home base airport and fly out (start work not commuting) of various locations, the state with the majority of starts and stops becomes your unemployment state. However, as screwed up as things are right now, pick the one that has the best benefits and cross your fingers.

Hello, I know this post of from March, but I am Also a flight attendant, based in San Francisco, CA (SFO), primary residence was/is FL, but my partner lives in Los Angeles. I started collecting unemployment in April, I just changed my primary residence with the airline (work) and the EDD to CA early this week. I will work in getting my DL from CA next week. How would this change of address affect my unemployment? I updated my address with the EDD using my profile portal. Will I need to check the box of change of address when I certify for benefits the following Sunday? Also, I have been reading about the “able and available” when you move, is that something I need to be conscious about when I certify for benefits next week. Let me know your thoughts. Thank you so much!
Once you start collecting unemployment, changing address has no impact of your benefits. You stay with the claiming state until the claim expires. So, if you already have claim with CA, an address changes mean nothing. Just report it on the claim form and life goes on. If it's with FL, you stay claiming with FL until the claim expires. The only rule when you're collecting and move to another state is that you are required to register with that state's job services.
As for Able and Available. This is a gotcha many states like to play. The idea is while you're collecting unemployment, you must be Able and Available to seek (look for work), evaluate (respond to opportunities), accept (self explanatory) and work (show up for work) at any suitable employment during your traditional prevailing hours of your industry for those task. That means if you're a traditional 9 to 5 office worker, moving during mid week for a coupe days means you were not able or available during those time, so no benefits can be paid. But if your partner did all the moving and you just hopped a plane on a Sunday, you're in the clear.
EDD doesn't go out of their way to catch A&A issues as there's more than enough claimants who do foolish things and get themselves caught.
