Call the US Department of Labor in your State and also the State Dept of Labor:  that is illegal\n\nSend a certified letter to your former employer demanding info and paperwork on the COBRA program\n\nThen perhaps get a lawyer - if you have no money contact the Legal Aid Society in your State

You have a few options at hand.  The first thing I would do is have someone you trust but your old company doesnt know call and do an inquiry on you as if they were checking your references.  This way you can find out what is being said.  If they are saying anything other than your date of hire, and basic info you can sue them for slander.  The next thing you need to do is check how you are listing them on your applications.  Are you putting down the reason for discharge?  If so, stop. Put down TBD (to be discussed).  Then, when you go for an interview, fudge the truth a bit.  Tell the prospective employer that you were getting harrassed and that they fired you unjustfully for that without a full investigation.  That will hit their soft spot and help you get in easier.  NEVER tell an employer you got fired for attendance problems.  BIG no no.  You can also try some of the temp agencies.  They are good for getting your foot back in the doors.  Best of luck to you.

Technically, our elected officials are supposed to vote the will of the people.  So the idea of the emails is for you to contact your representative and let him or her know how you feel.   Most governments do not have employees pay in to SS, they have their own retirement funds.\n\nI hate to say on this issue for sure, they will ignore you.  Elected officials lately are more interested in saving their jobs than doing them.  The best you can do is continue to say what you want to them and support candidates who are willing to try to change this.  I don't mean to be fatalistic, but I am one of those who thinks on this issue anything is a losing battle (although I do keep trying).\n\nSomeone suggested once the easiest way to get SS fixed is to have congress part of it.  Too bad congress wasn't listening.

I believe the State decides whether or not you are eligable for unemployment benefits. I think they do talk to your former employer though.

Search online for the unemployment benefits office for your state.  This may be called the department of labor, the department of labor and industries, the department of employment, or various other names.  That varies by state.  Many states now have their forms online and you may file online or print the form and mail it or take it to one of the offices.  You will often need to provide information about when your last job ended.  In many places, if you voluntarily quit a job, you may not be eligible, so the form may inquire about the circumstances of your departure as well.

It is recommended that you contact your fellow employees and have all notify your state Attorney General's Office.  They will investigate and track this employer and any owners affiliated with them (eventually).  A repayment is possible but may take a very long time.  But... will you let them get away with it?

Usually you are chosen from voting rolls but obviously that isn't the case here. You will have to go and explain it to them. You might be able to call the number on the notice you got.

It depends on how much hassle you want to go through. If you are worried about future job references,legally all an employer can say is when you worked and what your wage was. It doesn't matter what is written down. I'm not sure if you can file a grievance as an ex-employee but your work should have some system to deal with termination disputes. You have to decide what you hope to get out of your grievance and whether it would be worth your time.

Its a little late to campaign.  Call the board of elections and see if they have any opportunities.  Contact any candidate or group put out campaign signs and offer to help take them down.  Most cities require them to be removed within a certain time after the election.

You need to go back to your employers.  If your address was changed or if they mailed them to the wrong address you are still responsible to retrieve them.
