Where do I apply for unemployment if I recently changed states?

I have just been laid off of my sales job. It was a swell place to work, but the economy is just not what it needs to be and staff was cut back. Now, I just moved to Texas from DC, so this is a new job. My "base period" was around the same time I started the job (about two weeks into my new job). Most of the base period was my employment in DC, at the job that I left. Do I apply for unemployment in DC or in Texas?|||States have different laws. But if you have earnings in Texas in your base period you should be able to apply in Texas. You can also apply in D.C. over the phone.|||Go online and apply in DC. You may get a partial check, you may have to go to DC for an interview. Just fill it out honestly and see what happens. Since you have a confusing situtaion they may need a personal interview or phone interview. Once it is approved and started it might be done on a transfered basis. Call and ask, but go ahead and file, as long as you are honest they can only deny if you did not make enough in your time frame, or the right tax was not being taken out, or your new job pays too much now, since you are employed.|||I'm thinking you would apply in Texas, since the layoff occurred there, even though most of your income was from DC.

Probably you should call and ask. Phone numbers for that are here: http://www.twc.state.tx.us/ui/bnfts/offi鈥?/a>





If it turns out you need to apply to DC, you can file online here: https://www.dcnetworks.org/|||Just get another job and do not worry about unemployment.|||Texas|||In the state you LIVE in currently.
