Collecting unemployment

General 'help wanted' and 'for sale' notices minus the ubiquitous 'free kittens' posts.

Collecting unemployment

Post by Asaf »

In NYC, I was able to collect unemployment through an online service, but I am having trouble finding such a thing here in Austin.

Has anyone collected unemployment here and knows the method for doing so?

You have to contact the Texas Workforce Commission and apply for it.
They usually require that you have a meeting with an employment counselor, though I got the impression it was just to make sure you're not a dead-beat.

You work your life away and what do they give?
You're only killing yourself to live
