in my experience working and getting UI in NY, that shouldn't have mattered

Posted by znufrii Nov 3 '11, 12:18

unless you had paid work four days a week, you should still have been elgible for benefits. Unless they changed the rules at some point before I applied.

this was my experience in NY. -- nm - Diva Nov 3, 12:19
It shouldn't have, but I got cut off and so did two of my friends. -- nm - loosilu Nov 3, 12:19 11

  - we had been promised temp work wouldn't hurt us. then they turned around, and *chop*. It was in 2002. -- nm - loosilu Nov 3, 12:20 9
    - but, how many days a week were you working? was it a mon-fri temp job? -- nm - Andie Nov 3, 12:24 8
      - It was Monday to Friday, but I was spitting the hours with someone, so neither of us ever had 40. -- nm - loosilu Nov 3, 12:25 7
        
        so, it was the fact that you were working, not the fact that you signed up for a temp agency, which made you not get benefits. - znufrii Nov 3, 12:30 3
        
        Here's what they said. Because I was signed up at the agency, I would have to PROVE that I called the agency every day to inquire whether there was - loosilu Nov 3, 12:31 2
        
        nowadays, all you have to do is send in your resume to their online job bank, you don't have to prove you looked for sh!t. -- nm - znufrii Nov 3, 12:32 1
        
        oh, that's exactly what we were told at the start. - loosilu Nov 3, 12:36
        
        (not that it should have mattered, we were promised a temp job wouldn't hurt our UI eligibility) -- nm - loosilu Nov 3, 12:26 2
        
        i get that, but, if i'm working 36 hours a week at a temp job, i really don't think i should be getting my UI money on top of that. - Andie Nov 3, 12:28 1
        
        I didn't. I mean, when that job ended, I was no longer eligible for UI, even though they promised I would be. -- nm - loosilu Nov 3, 12:29
