I work for a municipality in Michigan. City government wants us to take 25 furlough days, taken 1 week at a time (5 weeks) spread out through the year. Would I qualify for unemployment for those weeks?

Anya,

I couldn't find any information on this questions, so the best thing is to ask your manager or H.R. Department.

Please let us know what you find out.

Kayla B.,

It sounds to me like you got laid-off.

I would go ahead and file for unemployment if you need the assistance.

I only work 16 hours a week. Is there a mim. number of hours you have to work to collect unemployment?

Deana M.,

There is not a minimum number of hours, but rather a certain amount of money that you had to make in your 'base period' in order to be eligible for unemployment.

If you are currently working part-time it is unlikely that you will be able to collect unemployment unless you were working full-time and subsequently had your hours or hourly wages reduced.

I was the Education Director of a synagogue supplementary school for 25 years. For various reasons, the membership and student population of the synagogue have been drastically decreasing, and when they had to hire a new Rabbi - who was going to earn significantly more than the Rabbi who was retiring - they could no longer afford a separate line item for an Education Director as well. When I called to apply for unemployment, I was told I wasn';t eligiable as churches and synagogues are exempt and they have never paid anything in for me over these 25 years. Is there any recourse, or help that I can get?

What is the percentage of income that unemployment insurance pays based on your last job. I have heard 50%, 65% and everything in between. Anyone have any idea? I only made $12 per hour, 40 hrs a week.

I was laid off in NJ from my job of 20 months in Feb. 2009. I collected UE, including all the extenions, and exhausted my benefits as of December 2010. I began working for a new company in March 2011 (September 28th will mark 6 months with this company.) It now looks as if I may get laid off from this job as well. My questions are: How long must one be employed (or how much $ would I have to have made before being eligible for a new claim of NJ UE benefits? If I were to be laid off and were to file a new claim would my eligibility be effected by the fact that I exhausted all benefits from a previous claim? Would the amount of time I could collect be effected by either the amount of time I spent working with this new company, the amount of $ I've earned with this new company, or the fact that I exhausted all my benefits from a previous claim?

I was just notified today that I am being laid off due to the elimination of my position "primarily due to budgetary and organization changes and not necessarily due to any individual sales performance or lack of effort" I have been with this company for 6 months and the previous 18 months as an independent health and life insurance agent. Am I eligible for unemployment?

I worked full time (40 hours) and has been cut to 32 hours 3 years ago. My employer has told me that he is not paying unemployment benefits to the state on me. My question is - how do I report this and what if the company were to go out of business? I wouldn't be able to collect unemployment would I?

I worked a job in Texas for 12 years and quit. I recently went to work for a contractor and after 2 weeks I got laid off due to RIF. There was a break in my employment for 6 months. Am I eligible to receive unemployment?

I work for a Temp agency that is subcontracted by a school district in Michigan, I work the school year and then off in the summer. At the end of the school year, in June, i receive a letter asking if I'll come back in the fall. I always say yes and then in August i get my letter. I was told i could apply for unemployment benefits durning the summer. Is this the case?
