The law states that you must have lost the job involuntarily. @Harry – I don’t think they will let you claim benefits as your although you have an outside chance.

If so, it would be considered full-time job and you won't get benefits. Talk to your State agency to explain your situation. You might be able to claim benefits. @Nancy - I don't think you will be eligible unless you had involuntary separation from your previous job. @Ken – Have your employer paid unemployment taxes for you?

I work in sales. the company has the commissions I earn by 50% and eliminated bonuses. The worst of it is that they are trying to eliminate agents. Any calls that are potential leads go to the home office and are then sent to brokers. I have not seen a paycheck in two months. The company refused to lay me off. Can I file a claim with unemployment. I am actively looking for another job but have had no luck. I work for a company that is not allowing me to earn a living.

I am told my last check falls just before the cut off so I am in a gray area. I am told I will receive a letter telling me whether I qualify or am elligble for a second extension. I worked at my same company for 4 years and they layed me off last April 2009 due to a cut back in the work force. I am wondering if I qualify for a second extension and what are the eligibility requirements. I can't seem to find any information on line. Can you help me?

A friend of mine is a purchasing Agent. She developed a bad reputation in highschool, which somehow leached out into her job. The salespeople/suppliers who provide products to the company she works now have this knowledge due to spread of the rumor and brought it to her current employer. Her boss/employer now doesnt want her in the position as a Purchasing Agent; and salespeople are spreading the rumor to the other co-workers(buyers), leaving behind a hostile work environment. Her entire career is ruined, and she would have to retrain. What rights would she have if she quit? Hello. A friend of mine is a purchasing Agent.
