I moved to California from Texas for a new job last month, only to get laid off 3 weeks into it. I applied for unemployment benefits in CA but got put on hold/denied because I apparently have no reported wages in CA. Technically, that's not correct because I have 3 weeks of pay? The company gave me checks instead of Direct Deposit because I got let go during my very first payroll week.
Then I got a notice from the CA unemployment office that should apply for unemployment in…Texas?
The thing is that I was laid off from my old job in TX in November 2023 (before the new CA one), and I got TX unemployment benefits from December 2023 to December 2024. Basically I was unemployed from December 2023 until March 2025, and now I'm unemployed AGAIN.
So I have to open another unemployment claim in TX even though I don't live there anymore? Is that right? That just sounds weird to me. If anyone has gone through a similar situation or know what the proper protocol is, that'd be great.
