Can you collect unemployment via Direct Deposit, while you're abroad? I've always wondered that. If so, that'd be perfect!

Most programs require that you show that you're looking for work in order to collect, which is challenging to do from overseas.

I did talk to a french girl, though, who said that in France it's online and self-reported, so if you log in every now and again claim to still be looking for work, the cheques keep coming.
