Where to go when Unemployed

I understand first hand how it feels to be unemployed and don't know what to do. But there are may resources available in your community.

Lets start with the most known and most misundestood. The State Employment Office, (better know as the Unemployment Office). In this Office they can assist you with many issues or situations such as finding employment, education referral and assistance, filing an employment claim, orientation, veteran employment and training services and of course unemployment.

Every state has its own rules about unemployment and Military Spouses. It is important to check with your local office to make sure your eligibility to receive unemployment when you PCS is not jeopardized. In some states you might resign 60 days prior to your new station report date, but if by mistake you do it even a few days in advance you might loose you unemployment benefits.
