Collecting Unemployment Question

tanner12oz · Aug 7, 2010

ive worked for the past 10 years straight....quit my job in june. havent been able to find anything until last week. its only a 30 day temp job..over the table, paying taxes...can i collect unemployment after the temp job ends?

don't flame me with the why don't you work crap cuz i've put in 40-50 applications for bs jobs and NOBODY will hire me

depending on your laws there Tanner, i dont think so...around here, if u "quit" your job, you are not eligible.....you have to lose your job through "no fault" of your own.....the fact that you went to the temp place in between, wont factor in, as they go back to your full time job for eligibility....

Of course, you may have different state laws, but here, thats how it would play out..

You have to either be laid off, or business closed, or fired ...and if fired, of course, if its for stealing, or harrassment, or something like that, you can be denied as well

alright i wasn't sure if the temp job would count as being "laid off" or not...

most likely NO. The 30 day job probably not long enough to collect thru them and the job you quit. I is very hard to collect from a job that you quit.

quitting a job won't mean you can't get it, just not a slamdunk that you will.

if you can prove it was crappy working conditions, or they had you doing a job you weren't hired for, etc etc you have a case.

If you contact the temporary agency immediatedly after completion of your assignment it will be considered a lack of work and you won't be disqualified for your work there. You will most likely have a disqualification for having quit your previous job (and that will be basis of your claim), but that is typically a monetary reduction (the maximum amount you can draw is lessened), and a time disqualification (usually 12-14 weeks, depends on your state) in which you are ineligible for that time frame following your last day of work but then become eligible after that time period has passed.

You need to go to the website of whatever state you're claiming in and read up, as a lot varies by state but generally speaking much is the same. There are so many misinformed people both here and across the country when it comes to unemployment and most of its because they rely on heresay and don't go find the actual information themselves.

Go ahead and file. Your ex-employer will be notified. He can then, fight it, ignore it or offer your old job back, hoping you'll say no.

it has nothing to do with your previous jobs or why you left, only your most recent job matters . it has nothing to do with how long you were on your previous jobs, only your most recent one

you should be eligible because your most RECENT job ended through no fault of your own. the amount you will draw is based off your earnings over the past 18 months so it doesnt matter that you only worked 30 days. what matters is how much you earned the past 18 months

at least thats how it works in TN. good luck

Try, it can't hurt

if denied, develop some sort of counter argument justifying you leaving your job of ten years

Well, regarding unemployment, I am an expert.

While it isn't a dream job, it is my job.

Like I said above, every state is different in some ways, and while they all abide by general federal guidelines, specifics vary by state and that's why it's best to do the research yourself rather than ask a varied board of uninformed degernates.

I disagree, finding a way to beat the system by finding people who have already done it saves time and can give you success.
In the military, as a leader your taught that no matter the situation someone else has been there before and has had success at some point, find that person and emulate them.

I presume you were looking in the mirror when you made this statement? :think2:

The Rx is full of very helpful people who have been through the same exact experience the OP is going through. Through shared experience, the OP may be able to help himself. No need to belittle or discount that.

Only people that have gone through the experience in the same state as the original poster are in way qualified to give him correct advice.

Hilarious that you guys think I'm wrong by telling him to look up the laws in his particular state and becoming familiar with them rather than listening to what mostly uninformed people tell him on a message board.

It's like the "my grandma just just fell on a rusty knife, what should I do?" post. Common sense says you call 911, talk to a doctor, and go from there. Not ask a message board how best to treat the wound and listen guys that say "pull it out yourself and throw some vodka on it! That's what my cousin did one time and he turned out ok!"

Hey I'm not saying that looking up local laws is a bad Idea, all I'm saying is asking the Rx isn't a bad idea, one might find some insight into beating the system that the gov might not be giving out.
So did the Vodka really work... cause....

I'll give an example: One time there was a collection agency going after me for a debt that wasn't mine $1100 dollars. They went as far as sueing me for the money. Yeah I could have went to a lawyer who would have probably charged me more than they were trying to go after me for. Instead I researched on the internet and found someone who had already beaten the same collection company in court with the same type of case. I emulated what they did and I too won. Saved time and money.
