Legal Question in Employment Law in Virginia
I was laid off and I have been collecting unemployment. Unemployment does not cover my bills so I have had to deplete my savings. Now in order to pay my bills I need to make a draw from my IRA. Does an IRA distribution affect my ability to collect my unemployment benifit?

Probably not since one's eligibility for unemployment
compensation benefits is generally not subject to what is known as
means testing.
