Most times the job you got laid off from pays more than the job you find to replace it. Unemployment is collected for the time you were UNEMPLOYED, not making less money. There are many people in your situatio – in our local gov’t office our department lost 39 positions – and of course the people want the same service they got when we were fully staffed – it’s not happening.

    Your unemployment is based on a calander year. In other words if you get laid off from your next job they would go back a year from the date you just got laid off from and base it on that. You do not totally loose your unemployment because you get another job> However if you get laid off two years from now from the new job your unemployment would be based on the last job that you had that lasted the year. Good luck
