Unemployment Insurance | Truck Driving School

try going to the unemployment office. that's a big joke these days. with so many unemployed. can't even get a phone call through anymore. last time i had to visit the office. i was the only american.

in utah, you can receive while in training. don't know if there's any paperwork involved though but i know it's one of the questions when you file online. in utah. making a phone call or stopping in. is about impossible these days. and i don't know if i'd really want to talk to them. the attitude is just off the charts anymore.

don't understand the driving part though. your from california and the car has to be registered in texas don't make sense. that's like saying no one from out of state can drive there cars in texas. or can rent a car in texas.

 

Dont know who told you that? You have 30 days to register a vehicle in Texas if you are employed there. Not true if just visiting.
HOWEVER... once you get a Texas cdl/permit ( or move there), you're supposed to have all the vehicles you own registered in Texas. Since Texas had no state income tax, this is just another way to collect taxes...

Well, it took me about 30 seconds to find this info. using the Internet http://www.unemployment-tips.com/ca...benefits-if-i-go-back-to-school-in-texas.html

"It depends .. If you attend school the only way to do this and collect unemployment is for "state approved training" this is done through a states unemployment department. The same one you are required to register for work through. The state is the only one who can let you know what is "approved". One of the programs they offer is WIA (Workforce Investment Act). I know they have grants available, but I'm not sure if programs such as FASFA are included.

Texas does not immediately disqualify you because you are attending school which is not "state approved", but you still must be able and available for work and looking for it. And you must be willing to quit school if suitable work is offered.

So, although I cannot give you a definitive answer, I do know you must be careful."

Make sure you scroll down and read the comments section. This is what someone posted about their Texas experience:

" WARNING!!!!!!!!!!! If you go to college on your own and not through Workforce training they will put a hold on your payments while it is being reviewed. We were told it could take 3 to 6 weeks for them to review our claim. First person at unemployment office told us there would be no problem with payment going back to school on our own. All we had to do is call this 800 # and report going to school and everything would be fine. That wasn't the case. They think that if you go to school you have no time for work searches and if you were offered a full time job you would not be able to accept the job because of the time the schooling takes. However the Unemployment agency offers schooling and if you take it through them you still get your checks like normal. Go figure. So now we have to figure out how to feed and house our family......The system if flawed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

 

he said he was from cali though. so wouldn't cali be his unemployment method. he doesn't live in texas. nor has he earned any income. he's simply there becuase that's where swift sent him.
