Virginia Employment Commission Frequently Asked Question
What happens if I go out of town for a few days while on unemployment?:
If you leave town, you can potentially still be looking for a job. If you are not traveling far (within the state) and are able to return and accept a job if one was offered, you are potentially still able and available. You can also still search for work while out of town. Many people search for jobs in other states with the idea of possibly relocating. Contact your local office for more detail on whether not your trip out of town will possibly affect your unemployment benefits.
