Why wife works part time from home for a company making about 1 k a month after taxes. Her company is folding. Can she get unemployment and for how long and how much. 1 k a month till when?

Very serious question

[maggiethebestdog]

It depends on how long she has worked for the company and if she is a W2 employee

She should get a partial amount of what she made, not her whole salary
It is either 12 or 18 mos, I think

Are you sure her employer has paid their unemployment insurance??

Ask Kareem Hunt

You get unemployment for 26 weeks. You have to put in 3 work applications a week. usually it is half of what you make but there are minimums per state.

[chico2663]

Also there is like a 3 week hold.Some of my tenants were receiving benefits and i helped them apply

[Bostongambler]

Tell her to drive for uber or lyft

Obviously didn't jump ship 9 years ago when she realized she was making 1k a week and now the company is folding

State never checks to see if you're actually looking for jobs. I was on unemployment for 4 months and my wife about 3, never once did anyone inquire about whether or not we were actively seeking jobs. I honestly don't think they start monitoring you unless you file for an extension of benefits - then maybe they might ask, but even then I've heard plenty of stories about assholes on unemployment for multiple years who never looked for shit.

She gets XYZ percentage of her wages and easily qualifies

You'd make like 1500 a month just Workin at mcds

Unless she is a 1099 company all companies have to pay into federal unemployment insurance. Now if she is a 1099 which means they don't deduct any taxes on her ... she won't get it. I think when i used to do the hud business we had to pay .006 % per 1 dollar we paid out but our 1099 people (which were sub contractors) we didn't.
