I was recently employed by Con-Way and was forced to resign after my second "at-fault" accident in a year. I want to file for unemployment, here's the question...
In which state do I try to collect? The company is based in Missouri, headquarters is in Oregon, I resided in Florida during my employment and currently live in Kentucky. I officially lived in Kentucky when I resigned, but there is no real way to prove it.
Please help!

If you quit, {forced to resign} I didn't think you were eligible for unemployment.
Assuming you were canned, ask conway where they were paying the unemployment insurance premiums for you and this is probably where you have to apply.
or just try to apply at your local unemployment office and they will look you up in the system and see if you are their problem...
and of course, alternately, just go get another job.... -

I don't know if this pisses anyone else off, but
JK Rowling was living on welfare claiming she couldn't find a job when she wrote Harry Potter. I don't know how long it takes to put something like that together, but I'm pretty sure the bulk of her day wasn't fielding phone calls and going on interviews.
She's now a billionaire and the UK government got nothing of course for this investment.
Anyway, while you're on unemployment, write a book. No one's watching.lynchy Thanks this. -
BS.................UK government gets income tax on the money she has had and will make for the rest of her life. She was a once in a life time investment.

You definitely can't collect if you resigned. If you were fired you should be able to collect till you find another job. You need to contact the labor board. The number can be found in the blue pages of the phone book and you can ask them what you need to do. They will have the best answer for your situation. You should be collecting from the state that you paid income tax to I would think, if you are eligible.
Let us know what you learn from your experience here on this site. -
That's true. Sometimes lies pay off pretty good. As long as it worked out, no harm no foul right.

Don't know about all the other states but here in Texas if you file the company can fight the claim and if they win you get Nada. And in most cases the company wins.I quit and filed company fought the claim I had about a 5 minute conversation on phone with the State review person and got a letter about 5 days later informing me that I had been found ineligible for unemployment.So file and take your chances but look for a job while you wait don't sit and fume. I start school April 15th in Drumright Ok. and am changing careers after 18 years with 1 company so get out and look!

Actually you can collect unemployment if you quit or resign it all depends on ConWay and what their statement is when you go to collect. You file in your home state and I'm sure the is a question on why you quit. You have nothing to lose by filing for unemployment.

You can file in the State that you were employed in.Once done you can have your benefits transfered to the State you reside in.But one thing before you go through with this.Conway will fight you on this.You were fired for two chargeable accidents in a short amount of time.When you hired on do you remember all the papers you signed?One was company policy and it spells out reasons for termination,legally binding.When unemployment contacts Conway all Conway will do is fax a copy of company policy and a copy of the internal accident report form that you were required to fill out.If unemployment denies your claim you will not be able to collect unemployment for a given amount of time or until your income has achieved a certain level.Conway doesn't need their unemployment insurance rates to go up so they will fight you on this claim.If you do fight a denial your only recourse would be to contest the chargeable accidents to non-chargeable,again chances are slim.I worked for Conway for 13 years so I am not in the dark about how they operate.Not a bad company just strict on company policy.
