Unemployment compensation doesn't come from taxes...


OP... I would file and see what happens. If your claim is denied, you can always appeal it.

Most states do require a one week "waiting week" in which you receive no compensation, but you do need to file to start that week.

It was always my understanding that unemployment came directly from the employer, and if you do not receive unemployment when you do file for it, that's when you go to court about it?
