Hi all,
I am thinking of filing for unemployment. However, I am not sure if I qualify for it or not. I am currently working for a staffing or consultant company that help you to get jobs. They will call you if they can find you work and most of the time they have gotten me work for the past years. This year is the worst year I have ever seen do to slow economy. Anyway, the staffing company I am currently working for have not found me a job for about over 4 months now. I was wondering if I should file unempoyment with them or not. Also, if I file unemployment with them, I believe they may not want to work with me ever again. Do you think it would hurt my employment with them? I believe the government will for sure contact them and ask them a lot of questions. The staffing company I am working has been providing me with a lot of jobs until the last 4 months of bad news about the economy. Also, since then, I have moved to another state about a month ago. Do I file the unemployment in the state I was in or do I file the unemployment with the new state that I am living in now? Anyone have any suggestion on what I should do regarding filing unemployment with a current staffing or consulting company? Thanks in advanced!! |

Eligibility requirements for unemployment vary from state to state. The website for your state's unemployment office likely would describe them. The office may also have resources to assist with job searches.
If the staffing agency for which you work has no assignments available for you, I wouldn't expect that they'd ding you for applying for unemployment benefits. You may want to talk with the staffing agency about how you could be assigned more work...are there skills you need to develop? What has feedback from clients suggested that you need to work on? We all have "opportunities for improvement" and I'm not trying to imply that there's anything wrong with your performance, but if there is something that limits your utility to the agency you should find out what that is, and address it. |
