Can I still collect unemployment if I am vacationing outside the country laid off? If I am still searching for work remote can I still certify benefits? Thanks for any help.

Where you log in matters. They will see that you are not in the US and you will get denied. Have someone log in for you and fill the form out each week until you're back.

My understanding is yes, but I'm not sure if I would personally risk it. Seems much easier just getting a friend to spend the 5 minutes each week doing it on your behalf, and then kicking them a nice meal when you get back.

I tried doing that from Canada and was told no. You better call with US IP address.

I like to use Private Internet Address. They have many US servers. Just make sure to connect to one of them before you log into the site.

I mean technically yea? Don’t know if IP address would trigger any problems.

Read the handbook or call them!!

Haha damn. Crazy! I guess you can, thanks 🇺🇲

I don't think it's an issue. As long as you're not lying on any of your certifications.

And as long as you have contributed to the unemployment insurance

No because you have to claim you’re searching for at least three jobs a week and submit proof online. I think where you log in from matters.

But can’t I still search while overseas?

Well, I’m out of advertising. After getting laid off on April 30th I held out in hopes I’d find something “cool” and be able to continue dressing like a clown for work (I’m heavily tattooed and have my septum pierced). I took a job as an EA in real estate investment banking and while I do feel relieved to not have to keep up the “cool” agency culture, I’m a little nervous to return to buttoned up corporate America. I know I’m good at my job, but unemployment Swiss cheese brain is real!

Thoughts on CAIA? Difficulty, hours studied, study tips, overall experiences, etc.? I’ll be sitting for Level 1 in September. Currently work in the fund of funds space - moving over to my firm’s hedge fund research team soon so CAIA seemed like a perfect way to get knowledge in the area beforehand. I’m almost one year out of undergrad (econ background) so a lot of the CAIA content is new to me
