My question involves labor and employment law for the state of: Connecticut & RI
Here is my predicament, I worked for company A in the state of Connecticut for 5 years, I quit working for them because of a better job opportunity at company B in RI. The day I started at my new job I was informed that the the company had gone into receivership, a week later I was laid off. I initially filed for unemployment in RI because this was the state that my last job was in, a few days later I received a call from the state of RI telling me I have to file in CT because that's where my base period wages are coming from. I then filed in CT and am currently awaiting a hearing. So my question is should I have any problems collecting in CT? The concern I have is they will look at my job I held in CT, the one they will get my base wages from, and see that I had quit that job, and not see that I was laid off from my last job I had only had in RI for a week.
