Get a job hippie. >:(:P

 

 

Nah, I'm kidding, got a rep to uphold.

Hopefully you'll find something soon. You work in mental health counseling right? The VA might be hiring.

I know there are a lot of mental health job openings around here.

 

Not counseling, social work. And I don't want to do social work.

I hate to be Debbie downer but if you got fired, getting a claim might be rather difficult...and it maybe free for you if you do get it, but since a lot of the businesses like laying off people, they'll pick up the tab.

 

They said I could be eligible. They let me go for "not being a good fit" so idk.

Psychology

 

Well, I know there are plenty o job openings around here for that, but I don't know that that helps you.

Still, I think you'll be able to find something soon, if nothing else get your LPN, that is pretty much a license to print money.

i just looked at my state's requirements to qualify for unemployment. holy hell is it a lot of requirements..at least for my state

 

My state has like 4 requirements from what I'm seeing. The only one that's iffy is "You are unemployed through no fault of your own" but one thing I saw said that if you lost your job due to "not being a good fit" that counts as no fault of your own and I think that's the official reason they're giving.

mine is that you have to contact FIVE employers a week and the maximum it can possibly give you is $350 a week (and that's only IF you qualify for that amount). that's basically pocket change.

Geeze. Not sure what the requirement for looking for work is here. I know you have to be "actively searching" for a new job but not sure how that's defined. The application asked me to enter what shifts I'd be willing to work so maybe the state helps with the employment search or something. Payment is 50% your average weekly pay, capped at like $450/week.

here you apparently have to file weekly certifications that you've made 5 contacts then there's all this other crap i don't really understand

 

here's what my state says about weekly benefits:

 

 

 

" The weekly benefit amount is calculated by adding the wages paid to the individual in the last two completed quarters of the individual's base period divided by 52 and rounded to the next lower whole dollar. "

 

what the actual fuck does that even mean

 

and it only apparently pays up to a maximum of 13 weeks
