Hi I need help with this question. I was laid off from a temp job after 7 full weeks and made about $3500 this quarter but have not worked in 4 years so can i get unemployment?? This is what i got off of the unemployment site but do not understand it How is that determined?
Your weekly benefit amount is determined by the total wages paid to you by each of your employers during your “base” period. Your base period consists of the first four of the last five quarters (three-month periods) where you earned wages, going back from the time of your initial claim for benefits.
To be monetarily eligible for benefits, you must have been paid wages of at least $1,600 for insured work during your base period. Of this amount, at least $440 must have been paid to you outside of the base period quarter in which your wages were the highest. Effective for benefit years beginning on or after January 1, 2008, if you have not earned sufficient wages during the base period described above, we will try to establish your eligibility using a base period consisting of the last four completed quarters

The Senate is doing a test vote on the tax cut/proposal at 3pm EST Monday. The Democrats are pushing for a better deal that will help ALL UNEMPLOYED and get better tax provisions. WE MUST CALL and voice our opinion on the current deal, and be able to have amendments added to the bill which will help us even more! We want benefits for ALL unemployed, and a REAL jobs bill added to ANY deal! CALL your Senators ALL DAY Monday, EARLIER the better!!! Toll free lines to DC are 1-888-340-6522 and the Capitol Switchboard is 1-888-245-0215. If the number is busy, KEEP TRYING! The GOP wants their tax cut deal in the worst way, they WILL give in and give more! WE MUST demand more!! The deal MUST be fair for ALL, or NO DEAL! Tell ALL your friends to call these numbers as well, we need all the calls possible!

Here’s an interesting email I received from a reporter for the Orange Co. Register. It’s the 3rd largest newspaper in California. She’s a big supporter of ours. I think it would be interesting to hear from some of us. We each have such a unique story.

Hello!

Thanks for your involvement with my series “Work” this year.

I’m now trying to create more of a conversation about jobs, unemployment and how the Great Recession has affected our work by building a Facebook page. I hope that people will go there to comment on our profiles, or connect or simply start a conversation. Please feel free to make suggestions or drop me a private line about it. I’m open to whatever it will become (she said, sounding like a true, open-minded Californian). J
Just go to http://www.facebook.com/#!/pages/Work/167601269945408
Thanks!
