Yikes, not great for all those employees that moved their entire lives out to TX just to get laid off. They weren't even working in TX long enough to qualify for unemployment. Hopefully they were getting paid enough to deal with relocation and maybe have enough saved up to get the hell out of TX after this.
imagine asking the women you work with, and your colleague's spouses and daughters:
"Hey, let's uproot everything and move to uterightsbannedistan, er, Texas, where a pregnancy complication could easily kill any of you, but the corporation will save LOADS!"
fucking chodes
They can still get CA unemployment because they would have worked through eligible periods prior to their moves. I had similar happen when I moved to Louisiana and got laid off. The guy at the unemployment office told me to apply in CA instead because the rate would be higher.
So now CA is paying for TX unemployment... They should send TX the bill
You are eligible for any state you worked in during the applicable period. It’ doesn’t matter if you still live there.
