- Why would I go to the unemployment office?
If you are currently unemployed you can claim benefits to help with your living expenses until you find a job. The unemployment office also has many resources and employment specialists who can help you find a job, hone your skills and help you decide which career path you would like to pursue.
Each state within the US has different laws regarding how much unemployment benefit insurance you can claim. It is best to go into the office and tell them about your situation because factors such as children or other dependents or how long you have been out of work will make a difference.
- How do I know if I can claim?
You must be unemployed and the reason you are unemployed must not be your fault. If you are made redundant for example, this is a perfectly reasonable excuse to be unemployed but if you were sacked for not turning up for work, you will not be eligible for unemployment benefits. You must be willing to work and actively seeking a job and must not refuse any job you are suitable for. You must not receive any money from any employer or be self-employed and you must not be in school. There may be other benefits you can claim if you are still in school and it is best to speak to an expert regarding this matter. You cannot claim from more than one state.
