Is filing for partial unemployment due to lack of work - sm


Posted: Jul 23, 2014

A good way to just get yourself booted?  Would most companies tell you to get lost if you end up filing for partial?

filing - me too

I am getting about 1-1/2 to 2 hours a day myself with this profession, so was thinking about doing that too. Either boot, or they will find you other accounts to work on all of a sudden.

Filing for partial unemployment - Jean

If you are an independent contractor you won't get unemployment because no one is paying into unemployment for you. I found out this out after filing for unemployment in Colorado. I went through filling out all the paperwork, etc., only to find this out.

I Filed And Got A Partial in PA - Anon

It was after I was hired at a new MTSO. I was collecting from being fired from another MTSO. They go by highest earning quarter the prior year. In my case, I was told as long as my gross earnings didn't go over $200 per week, I qualified for the partial. I say if you think you're eligible, fill out the paperwork. Most are filled out online anyway. Good luck.

Filing For Partial Unemployment
Mar 22, 2013

Any advice?  I was shy over 8 hours last week due to OOW (towards end of pay period, so no way to catch it up) and over 10 hours this week now (my last scheduled day was yesterday, and I'll be checking in to see if I can catch up some today on my day off, which won't be 10 hours, of course).   Is there generally a certain number of hours, rate of pay, etc., that one has to be shy of actual scheduled in order to qualify?  I understand it may be different from state to st ...


Punished For Filing For Partial Unemployment?
Jul 28, 2013

I'm thinking about applying for partial unemployment. The only thing holding me back is i'm afraid I will get retalation from the company or even get fired. I'm afraid that I will be out of a job completely without having anything else lined up. I've had maybe 2-3 hours a day of work if i'm lucky for going on a week now, and i'm really worried about paying my bills. I have been applying for other jobs in the meantime as well. I would love to hear anyone's exper ...

Has anyone applied for partial unemployment and if so, were you able to get it?  All I ever get is NJA and I'll be damned if I am going to use all my PTO or sit by this computer 24/7.  I do not get up and do things as I should - I sit by this computer and constantly log into  DQS.  I must be nuts but MQ made me this way.  Thanks for any info!! ...


Is It Really Possible To Qualify For Partial Unemployment?
Oct 10, 2010

By year's end, I will have made about half of what I normally make working the same number of FT hours.  I've read suggestions on here to apply for partial UI, which could probably save my behind - I'm not sure how much longer I can pay the rent and not sure where me and kids would go.  However, is it really possible to qualify for that considering the nature of our work, paid by production?  Could'nt it be argued (wrongly so!!) that we just slacked off and did ...

Is It Possible To Collect Partial Unemployment?
Jan 07, 2014

I've heard this before, but was unable to find anything about it ... I live in Georgia.  I went through all my PTO over the holidays because of NJA, and now it's the beginning of the week and I'm already 4 hours down.  What good does it do to "work" on holidays, when there's never any work?  I guess they just can't stand paying that holiday pay ... I'm so depressed right now and my first check of 2014 that I will get on Friday is going to be horrible. ...

Sep 06, 2012

Has anyone ever applied for and received partial unemployment in New York state?

Question - When Filing For UE . . .
Jan 25, 2013

what kind of questions do they ask you?  Do we just tell them that we're supposed to be at 39 hours and are getting only x amount of hours?  And do we just give them our lines rates?  Our checks can vary in their amounts so I just wondered. I'm sorry, I don't mean to sound ignorant, but this is new territory for me.  I want to be prepared if they ask me something, and I wasn't sure how specific they would get.  Thanks! ...

Filing For Early Social Security/Working Part-time

Anyone here working part-time and receiving early Social Security benefits? I am considering doing this in the next year and wondering if anyone else is already doing so. Thoughts?  I've been working full-time since the age of 18 years and part-time before that, with only a 6-month period of time between jobs, but was collecting severance pay those 6 months.

Lack Of Work

Has anyone noticed less work in your queues lately? Has anyone had a hard time getting in to a new transcription company? I have 12 years experience, and had an easier time finding a job as a newbie than I do now. Think maybe this has anything to do with the cheap labor from India that is replacing American workers? I'm thinking about finishing my coding classes, but they give American jobs to India also. What does it take to earn a living in America now? ...
