I'm from California so it maybe a bit different.  I got laid off a few months ago and I claimed unemployment.  Just go to your Government website (www.MI.gov) and fill out the claim. You should be good to go.  Good Luck

are you drawing unemployment? if so it'll be easy for them to find out if you're lying.  The crime though... no crime until you sign at the bottom of an application stating you verify that everything within the application that you wrote is true to the best of your knowledge. it can be a felony but most likely a misdemeanor if they really wanted to try and hit you with the book... most companies don't though it's a waste of their time. but you surely wont get the job if they do find out. if you haven't been drawing unemployment just say self employed. don't ask your old HR to lie for you... they may say that they would do it and then tell the new company that you are lying and asked them to cover up for you... think about it.

When you apply for unemployment the state will question you and the comapy on hy you were fired...a paper trail will ensue and based on all responses from your and the employer the state will make a judgement on whether you qualify for unemployment benefits...and yes it depends on which stae you live.

"until you can get a new job" implies you had a job. Unemployment is just for this. You Work you pay the insurance, now you need to take some benefits from all that money you paid. It is paid weekly and you have to be looking for a job. If you worked under the table then you can't do it, along with some other requirements that you will have to answer questions about to make sure you qualify.

If you are fired,quit(for good reason ie.harassment) or layed off(lack of work) you can draw unemployment compensation if you have worked steadily and have money in the quarter they are using to determine your benefits.If the company cannot prove willful misconduct then you can draw.You may have to file a couple of appeals but you will still get all your money in  a lump sum if you win.Willful means intentional.Been there done that.

check with your human resources department.  i believe every company has a different standard.  i could use fmla after my 90 day probation period.

Might be better off to look for a new job...... If you don't make much money at the job you got layed off from you won't make sqaut on unemployment.\n\nI almost think they pay that low just so you will go out and look for a job... I know it's hard to live on that much money... I have been down that road myself.

Depends, did you sign a contract or anything for your job? Many jobs have a "mutual employment" contract in which either you or the employer can end your job at any time for any reason. Check with your HR.

If a doctor has released you to go back to your job, but there is no work, that means you are laid-off, or unemployed, so you should be able to collect unemployment.  You should have gotten a works man's comp for the time you missed while injured!  If you suspect that they are not letting you back for a reason, then maybe you should see a lawyer!

Tell your employer that you will resign, if they will agree to pay unemployment.\n\nThen tell the unemployment office that you were laid off. You will then get benefits.\n\nTake care,\nTroy

If you voluntarily leave a job, you will not be entitled to get unemployment...you must be asked to resign or terminated..your benefits will also be cut if you turn down a new job.

If you were contract labor and the contract was not renewed, I don't believe you are entitled to file a claim for unemployment.\n\nGenerally, you can only file for unemployment compensation against the organization that PAID into the Unemployment Plan.  That would be your employer.

Ouch.\n\nGetting fired is devastating under the best of circumstances.  It feels like the end of the world.\n\nYou need to know what your ex-employer would tell prospective employers.  Many times they limit their comments to confirming your dates of employment, and don't discuss your performance or why you were terminated.  \n\nWhat are your options?  If you have the resources, perhaps you can go for some training.  That would improve your abilities and also cover the gap in your employment history.  \n\nI don't know what kind of work you do, but you could go to some temp agencies.  Temp work could give you some kind of income and maybe even an opportunity for a permananet job.\n\nI have no expertise in these things, but these are my suggestions.  \n\nGood luck.

Most companies will council with you to let you know you are not performing and give you an action plan with sometimes 45 days to meet all the standards.\nIn that case, use the time to find another job and leave before they terminate you.  Their mind fix is to only meet legal requirements. Your are history in their minds already.\n\nIt's easier to find work before termination than to explain why you were terminated.

Check the Department of Labor website for your state, they will have a link to the Unemployment benefits area; you will probably be able to apply online.

There is no law that states they can not fire you over the phone. I would ask them, of course, why you are being fired. And find out when you can expect your final check and what monies will be included in your final check (unused vacation, sick, etc.). I would also find out when you can expect your COBRA, 401(k) paperwork. I would also ask them if they plan to contenst any unemployment claims that you make with the state. And what their employment verification policy is. Most companies only give title, dates of employment and salary if a potential future employer calls them for a reference. I would confirm that this is their policy. \n\nIf you feel you are being fired wrongfully, I would request a copy of your personnel file and contact an attorney.

Don't quote me on this but this may be a case where you can quit a job and still receive unemployment benefits.  There are a few circumstances where you can quit a job and still get benefits.  From what you've described it doesn't sound like your employer wants to fire you since they will have little grounds to fight paying you unemployment.  If you apply, whether you quit or are fired, be ready because your employer may fight it.  You'll be extensively interviewed over the phone by the unemployment people.  Then, if your employer decides to fight it, you'll have a three-way over the phone with you, your employer and someone from unemployment.  Be ready because your employer will probably lie to avoid paying.  One time I was fired from a job for one no call/no show.  I got another job for several months but got layed off.  My former employer tried to fight my unemployment claim.  During the phone three-way the b*tch told several lies.  I defeated this b*tch and received unemployment benefits so I wish you luck.
