    Default Unemployment After Being "Sent on Location"

    My question involves unemployment benefits for the state of: CA

    I live in CA and have worked in the entertainment industry for 20 years. Last year, I was accepted a job that required me to be sent "on location" for 4 months. The company I worked for is based in CA, and they deducted VPDI-CA from my paycheck. My paystub lists my resident state as CA (although it lists the other state as the work state). And I had to pay income tax to both states for this income.

    According to my union, being sent on location is common in the film industry and I am eligible for CA unemployment. Regarding the question "Did you work in another state", my union said to answer "no" because even though I was sent to another state, I was still employed by my CA based employer (who provided per diem, living accommodations, and transportation to and from CA). My employer said the same thing as the union. So I filed.

    But my checks have suddenly stopped and a telephone interview is now scheduled. Did my union steer me wrong? Even if my union is right, I am afraid the person interviewing me will not be familiar with the entertainment industry and the concept of being sent on location for 16 weeks.

    Any advice?

    No, I don't think they did. Your wages were properly reported for UI purposes to California.
