Unemployment Benefits questions

• Scarlet_Buckeye

  

  I know someone who fits this profile.
  
  Works seasonal job.
  During the off season (November - March) he collects unemployment benefits.
  
  JUST got hired in a NEW job....worked one day and decided that he didn't like it and QUIT the NEW job.
  
  Question: Can he now go back and start collecting unemployment benefits again from the "seasonal job" he was originally laid off from until THAT seasonal job starts back up again in March or did he just screw himself out of that.
  
  I know......the guys a loser / MORON - don't need to go there!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  I work a non seasonal job. Hope this helps.

  He screwed himself because he'd rather collect unemployment than be useful member of society.

  I think it would be voided.

  Seeing how he quit the new job. He would not be able to get unemployment.

  I'd say by quitting he didn't establish just cause for leaving the job, but IANAL.

  Once he took the new job and that employer file him as employed and then quit he cut off his unemployment
  
  You can not collect if you quit... simple as that

  Thanks, Ted, and all.
  
  Again, I know this guy's a loser (that's a given) but I was just curious.

  Report from the wife: He's screwed.

  who knows...by only working one day they may not have filed all the proper paperwork with the state or whomever and he may get away with it

  I'm not an expert on unemployment benefits but we have some liberals on the forum so I have no doubts your question will be resolved shortly.

  Most likely it will not be caught by overworked and lazy gubmit employee. I'm guessing they focus mostly on new applications, and since he's already receiving it probably no one will pay attention. The best bet would have been if the former employer knew he got hired somewhere and then contested his benefit (since they get dinged for it via higher EI premiums).

  If it does get caught I bet it will be how you described it. The place he worked for one day...doubt they even go through with all of ths paperwork.

  If he has worked for the seasonal employer for a couple years or more, then they probably expect him to be on unemployment right now and just assume nothing has changed

  My wife has worked for ODJFS in child support and unemployment for 11 years. They may not catch it right away, but they'll catch it and he will have to pay back what he received that he shouldn't have.

  You actually can work some while on unemployment. You just have to claim it in your weekly report. If necessary, they deduct the amount from your benefits. Now, could be that since he became on actual employee, his benefits were technically terminated. But if he hadn't reported yet that he had a job, he may get away with it. They may catch him later, but I doubt it.

  I'd be interested in what he said when he filled out his weekly unemployment claim. If you start work you're supposed to report it on the form that you've started work and how much you've earned. If he didn't report his earnings and they see he got paid for even a day's work, he's gonna get in some trouble for lying on that form.
  
  If however he reported that he started a new job, and reported his earnings, then the following week they're going to ask him if he quit, was laid off, or was discharged from work. If he says yes, they'll ask why and he'll have to either say he quit or was fired. If he says he was fired then they'll call the employer to find out the story and he'll still be fucked.
  
  Long story short: he's fucked.

  We all need to continue answering his question over and over again. What a joke this forum is with its overzealous power hungry moderators. Get a life.

  Speaking of saying the same thing over and over again......complaining about the mods on this site is probably the most repeated, most annoying, most thing ever.
