    Default Can You Get Unemployment if You Refuse Transfer to a New Location

    My question involves unemployment benefits for the state of: Georgia

    For the past year I have been working for a mortgage company that had a marketing agreement in place with a local realtor whereby the company rented space for me in the real estate office. Due to a conflict involving another one of the realtors office locations (not my office) my company canceled the marketing agreement today. They called me in and essentially told me I could either continue working for them out of the corporate office or I could quit. They have given me until Monday to decide. The corporate office is 35 miles from my home. The real estate office I was stationed at was less than 5 miles away and its proximity is why I took this job.

    Can I refuse and still be able to collect unemployment while I look for something closer to my home? I am not concerned so much about the actual costs of commuting 70 miles a day, but the associated costs of needing my kids watched for an additional 8 hours per week make doing it unwise.

    CAN you? Yes. It is possible that in some situations, you can get unemployment if you refuse to relocate.

    WILL you? Don't know. It is not a guarantee in all circumstances; only the state UI commission can tell you for sure; and they won't give you a definite answer until you've already refused, filed your claim, and had the circumstances investigated by their office.
