Frequently Asked Questions About Unemployment Insurance

By:


There are several commonly asked questions regarding unemployment insurance benefits. This articles aims to address most of these questions. The foremost question that most people ask is concerning the filing process. Can you file online? The answer is yes, you can. Most states allow you to fill out the initial application from, file claims on weekly or biweekly payments, keep a track of all payments and access other tools and resources through the internet. Some states have a more comprehensive website than others, but all of them are helpful to prospective applicants.

Another question that is commonly asked is whether you can file for unemployment insurance if you get fired from your job. The answer to this question is mostly no, but there may be some slight exceptions. Typically, however, the benefits claim is valid only if the loss of job is a result of any situation that does not warrant the individual's own fault. For instance, you may have been a victim of a lay off, your position in the company may have been eliminated, or the company may have shut down its operations completely. If you are confused about whether you fit into any of the criteria, the best option is to file for a claim and if you are rejected, you will be given the exact reasons for it.

Another question that is asked is whether the eligibility for unemployment benefits still holds if a person's working hours are considerably reduced. You may be eligible to receive lesser benefits, which is again dependent on your state's laws. Before you contact your state department to inquire about this matter, make sure that you have an authentic record of both your past as well as present work hours. People also ask about the eligibility for these benefits if they quit their job for a very genuine personal reason. However, the laws of all states dictate that personal reasons are not considered adequate, no matter how desperate the situation may be.

Other questions normally asked about unemployment benefits are related to the filing of the initial application. You will need to fill in some personal information such as your social security number, and the names, addresses and dates of all past employments. Most states pay these benefits mostly through credit cards, while some follow the traditional method of sending checks each time the payment is due. If you wish to have a direct deposit in your account, you should be aware of the account number of your checking or savings account. If you worked in a different state than the one in which you are currently living, file for unemployment benefits initially from the place you live in.
