my husband quit his job three months before and we thought he is not eligible for the unemployment benefit claim. but today he applied for that and we are wondering that is there a way to collect the past three months benefit as we need it badly

You have 20 days to appeal after you lost.

You cannot refile until you have worked a certain
amount of time and earned a certain amount of wages.

You can get more definite details from the ‘Employment Development Department’ website:
http://www.edd.ca.gov.

Hope this may help Ms Ann.

If denied unemployment, and went to appeals and lost. Is there a waiting period or can I refile for employment in the state of Cal?

I don’t think so, that’s unrelated.

sorry I meant do i need to cash in my Certificates of Deposits(CDs) before filing for unemployment? Will it have a negative impact if it is hopefully just short term?

I was fired for the companies policy of “safty points”.
(I was a van driver for disabled persons.)
They watch you as you drive with a camcorder and gps. If you get 6 points in a 18 month period, you are fired.
They were asked what the average driver averaged receiving a safty point. They responded: one per three months. So they train the drivers to be fired. I received the max in 17 months. I am an experienced professional driver and have had no traffic violations in 18 years.
Does anyone know if I have any defense to help in my appeal of this termination? Any laws that
might help in my appeal, rights violations, etc.
Thank you for any insight you might like to share. (I was never late for work or committed any other violation or off work due to sickness).

Has anyone ever been denied unemployment after being fired? Anyone ever have the employer that fired you lie about the reason to avoid paying into employment? My former boss was lower than pond scum and I just know they will come up with something to screw me over. What can I do?

That makes a lot more sense. Sorry I didn’t get it the first time.

D: Sorry, I wasn’t clear earlier, I meant future employers and not your former employer. Your former employer is always notified because they can contest an unemployment claim. Thank you for the references.

“It has no bearing on you as an employee. In fact, being eligible for unemployment benefits couple a positive. One of the reasons for denying a claim is misconduct. Though it’s unlikely that an employer would ever find out that you did receive unemployment benefits, if they did they could be reasonably sure that you didn’t get released because of misconduct.”

From personal experience and looking up a couple of employer handbooks, it seems to me that employers are always notified when a discharged employee claims benefits. For example, take a look at Indiana http://www.in.gov/dwd/2640.htm#viii and New York http://www.tax.state.ny.us/pdf/2006/wt/nys50_506.pdf.

In NY, for example, as soon as a claim is filed, the employer is sent a form to fill out. Among other things, the form asks why the employee was terminated.

—Don’t let anyone try to make you feel guilty about signing up. This is not welfare. It is a insurance program. Big difference.—

Well actually it is a form of welfare, just like social security and medicare. I’m forced to pay into this ‘insurance’ racket just in case.

Well sorry, but before people we coerced into unemployment benefit they had to rely on their own emergency fund, frugality, and drive to see them through the rough time.

If I was to become unemployed I would not claim any unemployment benefits, because John and Jill next door who pay into the same racket have no obligation to care for me when I hit hard times.

This sickens me.

saladdin – Tankless water heater was put on hold, I’m getting the roof replaced next Monday and just replaced the dishwasher on a heckuva find ($150 for a nearly brand new stainless steel Frigidaire dishwasher). Maybe in a little while… don’t worry I’ll write about it.
