How To File For Idaho Unemployment Insurance
Being unemployed in the state of Ohio means that you can file for Idaho unemployment insurance. These benefits were put in place (paid or by tax payers and employers) to help provide some financial compensation in the event that you become unemployed through no fault of your own. A company may downsize, your position may be erased in an effort to keep down costs, or the company you work for has decided to end their business. Whatever the reason is, you are entitled to unemployment insurance. According to the Idaho law, an employee is required to provide unemployment benefits to former employees if they have earned more than $1500 in a calendar quarter.
If you worked in the agricultural field, you will be eligible to unemployment insurance if your employer paid $20,000 or more in cash wages during a calendar quarter or if there were 10 or more employees working during the calendar quarter. You will only receive benefits if you have reported your wages and paid your taxes. For those employers who pay domestic workers (those who work in private homes, sororities, fraternities, etc.) must report their paid wages if they paid cash wages of $1000 or more during a calendar quarter. In the case of domestic employment, after the $1000 quarterly amount has been met, any costs above that associated with provided meals, lodging, transportation or non-cash remuneration must also be included on all quarterly reports. Being diligent about keeping your records accurate and up to date is extremely important.
If you are without a job and wish to receive Idaho unemployment insurance, there are three ways that you are able to do so. You can go into an unemployment agency, stand in line for hours (feeling humiliated, no doubt) or you go the two easier routes and either file by phone or online. Never has filing for unemployment been so easy! By simply filing out an online application for benefits and providing the website with a series of questions and information, you will begin receiving your benefits within a week or so. After you have been approved for benefits, you will need to re-file your claim once a week (every Sunday) in order for your account and benefits to stay active. When you file your weekly request online or by phone, you will be asked to verify whether or not you actively pursued work the past week and if you turned down any job offers.
