Hello , i have a question IF i been working at a office for 3 years and she decided to Put me on a NEEDED BASIS as far as if she needed me she will let me know but have not had me sign anything or called me to even come in for over 90 days it was a part time job but i was doing 59.50 hrs every two weeks for some reason i never could get past 60 hrs . But i had to find another job which is part time as well which i currently am working at but my actual question is can i file for unemployment And get paid for the time i have not been working there Because of the fact that she has not even contacted me to even work for over 90 + days since back in november .
Lucy,
Please call the Unemployment Office in your state to check your eligibility.
Hello .I work in Towson university and I get temporarily lay off in summers .I receive unemployment benefit during the summer .Now my question is if I attend a school for two month do I lose my benefit?
Ali,
That is correct. Attending school hampers chances of engaging in a full-time job and therefore has an impact on UI benefits. Please call the Unemployment Office for more.
Can my boss even though I have been working there almost a year hold pay from me until I get my DOT Physical even after putting me on the payroll? They said I started in April but I really started in May and they told me to go home until I have it done. Can I file for these two weeks?
Mark,
I am not sure if he can do so. Please contact the Labor authorities in your state for assistance.
What can you do if you work for a company and they tell you there is no work and they will call you when they are busy? Shouldn’t they have to lay you off?
Linda,
If you’re on full-time rolls of the company and they’re paying UI taxes into the system, you might be able to claim partial UI benefits. Please call the Unemployment Office for more.
Why is nobody answering the phone?

I am not sure of how you can access the form. The best way to get more information is by calling the claims center.

You can simply stop claiming weekly benefits.
I suggest you call the Claims Center and speak to them for clarification in this regard.

I work for a contracting company and will be layed off 31 Mar 16, when can I apply for unemployment?
If you’re on permanent rolls and getting laid off due to involuntary reasons, you can apply immediately for UI benefits.
I was being harassed by my new Unit Director and I filed a grievance against her and asked to be removed from her unit as it had become a Hostile workplace I went to work today and was told they don’t have any jobs for me I live in Pa but have always worked in MD.What should be my next step?.
Please see if you can escalate the situation to the top management or human resource representative to see if you can find any relief as this seems to be a case of vengeance. If you believe that you are not at fault, you must brave all odds.
If you’re fired, you may look at filing for UI benefits until you find a job.The state also provides job assistance in this regard.
