MM ever deny UE benefits? - just wondering

Posted: Jul 31, 2013

Has MM ever come back and denied anyone UE? This is all so new to me. Everyone here seems to have gotten it with no trouble.

Not for me - sm

I've been on UE since late March. No word that they tried to deny it. Don't forget TAA benefits. You do qualify. There's a lot of misinformation even from the UE/Special Claims office, but incumbent workers(still working) are qualified for benefits for training. The only thing we do not qualify for is the extension of benefits while in training.

how do you start the TAA process? - does it cover college courses

Tell them you work for MM and our petition number is 81128.

Yes it will help you pay for college.

You get - benefits

while in training.

I have the packet TAA sent - complicated

It looks like it's kind of involved. I so do NOT want to go back to school, but I will if I have to. I guess I will go to the UE office and see if they can help me figure all this out. MM apparently told the UE office that my status has not changed, so I guess they are challenging my claim.

I am - going

to be starting school soon. You do get your unemployment benefits until they run out. After that, once you are in school, the TAA benefits kick in and you will get something like 120 to 130 weeks. If you do not go to school, after UE runs out and the extensions, you don't get any benefits. I would recommend talking to the TAA people, not unemployment regarding this.

only UE can deny benefits - not the company - sm

A company can fight against your receiving benefits, but UE is in charge of confirming or denying benefits - no one else. If your company challenges your right to receive benefits, you can appeal with UE. Is it possible you don't qualify for benefits? You have to have earned a certain amount of money in the last five quarters to be eligible for UE benefits in the first place.

Does anyone know of any companies that have benefits available for part-time, even at a cost? I love my full-time IC position, but no benefits. I would be willing to work a part-time position and pay for health coverage, even if a majority of my pay went to covering it. Thanks! ...

Okay. Let's face it everybody, we don't qualify for the benefits because we are not being laid off. We are not being laid off because MQ hasn't said anything about laying us off. I have a call in the HR, and expect to get an answer today, but do you really think MQ is just going to start giving out letters saying we are in fact going to be laid off? Don't think so. Everybody, STOP. Stop hoping for benefits that will retrain us. I' ...

Okay, I may be dense, the rest of you may have figured this out long ago! Many times I see comments here about people who cannot get enough work. Well, at my company, if there is a low volume of work and you cannot meet your line count you are placed on part-time status and cannot regain full-time status until you have met your commitment for 90 days. Yes, you lose your benefits....your health insurance, paid holidays, dental/vision, etc. Well, heck, look at the money the ...

I'm a newer employee of 4 months and STILL trying to meet my full time status by making $900 a pay period. I really don't want to work more than 40 hours a week to do this. I am on BeyondTxt and about 3/4 of my work is Voice editing everyday. Can anyone tell me their experience with meeting this $900 goal? I really need benefits and am starting to wonder if this is realistic. I think there might be a straight typing platform at Transcend, anyone know about that? Of course, the pay per ...

Does anyone know the process of switching to FT with benefits? Do you just have to let your CCM know and she does the paperwork and switching or is it a big hassle?

Thank you. ...

I'm full-time with benefits. I'd like to know if we can can be paid in cash instead of getting health insurance, dental insurance, and eye care. Can I cash in whatever life insurance policy I have had with them for the past 11 years? I just figured out with the new pay cut I will no longer be able to afford them, but will Medquist pay me for not getting them? They would save on their end not having to contribute. ...

As June is approaching us, I suggest that anyone who has health benefits appeal to upper management (I emailed Vern and got a decent reply) to please consider better benefits. They way they are now, if you are a single parent with young children, this plan could be catostrophic in a way worse than if you had no benefits or job to speak of. I am not single nor have young children but am currently in debt of over 2,000 to a health provider. I will probably still be paying it off when we use ...

It is nice, I suppose, for those able to participate in the 401K, and those who would gain from the benefits. There are paychecks where I have earned $8 and 9 an hour (I'm a tier 3) because of being jerked around on multiple unfamiliar accounts and crappy dictators. I recently applied for food stamps (or go hungry), and had to borrow against a small line of credit to make my rent. All this "improvement" doesn't help me pay for just the basic high cost of living we all are struggl ...

Signed in to renew benefits this weekend and to my surprise noticed that STD and LTD are now provided to us at no cost, plus my dental premium went down drastically.

I don't know anything about the health insurance because I have that through my spouse, but am super happy about something good for a chan ...
