Moving to South Alabama

[bondvista]

My question involves workers compensation law for the state of: "Alabama"

Hi everyone
I'm moving to South Alabama from California for school. I'm receiving unemployment benefits of $1800 / month. I have already collected 39 weeks of the checks. I heard that Bush approved an extension of 20 more weeks up to 59 weeks. However, I'm moving to South Alabama in a month. I'm debating if I should change residency. Will I get the rest of my unemployment benefits in South Alabama with the same amount of what I'm getting here in California.

1. If I change residency to Alabamian, I pay 1/2 of the tuition fees but may get lower unemployment checks.

2. If I don't change residency, I pay almost $300 per unit in Alabama but I may get 20 more weeks of California unemployment checks.

What do you guys think? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

You'll need to check with the Alabama Department of Industrial Relations.

Are you kidding? $1800 a month would put you in the top 10% of earners in Alabama. The normal unemployment benefit is around $100 a week the highest, like for doctors and stuff, is $255 a week.
