State Unemployment Benefits in New Hampshire
New Hampshire Employment Security administers unemployment compensation. New Hampshire publishes no procedure for a deceased claimant — neither RSA 282-A nor NHES sets out who may collect a final benefit — so the executor should report the death to NHES and ask what, if anything, remains payable.
