My husband was let go from a temp agency job, the temp agency has another placement for him but it is 75 miles away daily. Will he still qualify for UI benefits if he does not take this position. It is only temporary.

I moved out of California to South Carolina last year in July/2010. I applied for unemployment and was denied. I recently was laid off my current job here in South Carolina and was told I couldn't file a claim here that I have to file in California. I don't understand why I would file in California when I live in South Carolina.

I was laid off Feb. 10 from my job of 2 years. I received benefits for about 24 weeks. I then worked on a short term project which lasted 6 weeks. I then re-filed and collected benefits for about 24 weeks. I got another short term job which lasted 3 months. After completing this project I’m back on unemployment for about 20 weeks. My question is how does the 99 week limit in California affect me? Is the 99 weeks limit cumulative or consecutive? Thank you for your response.
