I have been unemployed for several months and looking for a full-time position but unable to find any. Just got a call today from one of the companies that I intervewed at and they said they have a contract position for me for 3 weeks only. I want to take this but I’m worried what will happen after the 3 weeks is up – will I still be able to collect unemployment? Do I have to file again or soemthing???

you will still be eligible after the 3 weeks of work. keep filing your claims/ reporting your status while you’re working; you probably won’t get any unemp money, but you’ll stay active in the system. you have a new layoff date already, in effect.
the details for this type of situation vary somewhat from state to state.
poke around the dept of labor website and you’ll proably find the exact answer.
