Here in California, if you are on Unemployment, you have to be actively searching for work while collecting this benefit or lose the money for the week.


i think it is like that everywhere, leann. to collect unemployment you must be physically able to work, actively seeking employment and willing to take employment if offered to you. usually to be able to collect unemployment a person is either fired, laid off, a position dissolved, a company closes or something along that line. i know that here and in other states if a person becomes ill and is unable to seek or take employment, they must report that to the unemployment office. and their unemployment benefits stop for the time they are unable to actively be seeking employment.
