再申请失业救济金的窍门

我有个朋友在一个IT企业工作了十几年，被解雇后，拿了几个月失业救济金. 也没有找到中意的工作，于是就到妻子工作的一家正规餐馆帮忙，离家有几十哩路程，工作也非常辛苦，有点受不了，在餐馆打了2-3周工后拿到2张餐馆工资支票后便辞职了。

由于每周要上网申报是否工作了，他在在餐馆打工的那几周没有失业救济金。这很正常。

但是，从餐馆辞职后，再申请失业救济金时，他填写的是从餐馆“quit”，于是政府再不给失业救济金了。 理由：有工作但主动辞职将不再发放救济金。

现在他只好上诉，还不知何时上庭，也不知道能否赢，令人非常沮丧。

那么在此需要提醒大家，倘若想放弃目前的这份工作，同时也想拿到失业救济金，一定要老板把你Lay Off(解雇)而非Fire（开除），同时要求一份separation notice，而且上面需注明是因为“Lack Of Work（没有这个工作职位了）”而不能写“Quit(自愿退出)”。这样的话就有可能申请到失业救济金。

要得到失业救济金，自己每周需有三个找工作的记录，再找到的工作一定要是自己非常想干的，若是接受了这份工作后来却又不愿意干了，此时千万不要quit（因为quit就再申请不到失业救济金，）， 一定得想办法要老板给一份“Lack Of Work”的Separation Notice.

看来，临时的工作如何申报是们艺术。

My husband had applied unemployment benefit from Labor Department before. That was almost 20 year ago. But I think the rule has never been changed.
The money that you get from the Labor Department is not paid by the government  completely. Your employer has to pay some kind of insurance/tax to cover this cost in regular base. Just like your car or home owner insurance, if you have file one or more claim, the premium will increase. So if your employer has fired w/o cause or laid off an employee, their cost of this insurance/tax will have chance to go up also.
So if you just want to get a job which might not pay much more (or even less) than your current unemployment benefit, then after work for a short period of time then "quit" and expect your new employer will give you a "separation notice". I truly doubt that new employer will do you that favor.
What my husband did before was he worked with temp agent, they would find him some contract jobs in his field, which some time even paid better than permanent job, before he found a real good permanent job he really want. When a contract job ended, normally last a couple months or more, he would be able to continue collect unemployment benefit before next contract job available.
Hopefully, this information will help somebody a little in this still bad economy situation.

p.s. If someone gets fired with a cause, will not able to collect any unemployment benefit.

現是人求事,千萬別Quit!

如果只工作四个月后被Layoff， 可以申请失业金吗？ 谢谢！
