#unemploymentbenefits

I am getting some unclear information on whether one can get unemployment if taking this severance. A lot of policies for unemployment state that if one voluntarily leaves, they may be ineligible for unemployment.

So not that I wish it but I did contact NJ police unemployment office!!So they gave a ton of info ,but advised as a technician if we went on strike we would absolutely be able to collect the max weekly amount of $ 900 a week !!If they had management or contractors trying to fill our jobs as in the past we would not have a waiting period it would be immediate collect.So just planning on getting things in order paying some stuff saving some money along with preparing for the worst hoping for the best !One things for sure it is a big relief now that we finally have the right in nj to collect when on strike

Is it possible to quit and collect unemployment benefits in NYS?

Keep all your documents. Document everything. Keep a copy at home. Get ready for the force out. And get an attorney if you are forced out. If you are written up you will have to sign that you received/acknowledge it but do a follow up email with why you disagree with the write up. DOCUMENT EVERYTHING IN WRITING. DO NOT VOLUNTARY RESIGN make them fire you as thats better for your law suit and unemployment benefit.

Hello does anyone know what the rules for the nj unemployment pay is if we went on strike .This would be the first time we would be entitled to unemployment during a strike what is the waiting period .How many weeks lost and how long can you collect

In Mass, #unemploymentbenefits are currently capped at 26 weeks. BUT if the unemployment rate hits 5.1% in ANY of the state’s metro area, the cap automatically goes up to 30 weeks. #layoffs #covid19
