I think I am, but I don't feel comfortable collecting it. I don't beleive in getting something for free. I understand it's not like Welfare, it's more of an insurance, but i still don't beleive in it.
I just don't have any other leads, so drastic measures are about to take place. Hopefully this won't be an issue, but the fact that no one has contacted me yet makes me a little nervous.

That is why we have unemployment insurrance. I had to use it for 1 1/2 months when I got out of the service. I do not look at it as getting something for free. You had to be a hard working contributing citizen to be eligible for it. Your job while you are on it is to find another job.

It's no hand out.

Yeah, maybe you're right. I'll think about it.

It cant hurt. And who knows, maybe as soon as you sign up you end up getting a job and cancelling it.

I don't even know how to sign up...or how you're eligible. I wasn't fired or laid off, I quit. Does that count?

Yes it counts, or at least it did for me. Each State is different you have to look into it. I also collected mine from the state but through federal funding. In otherwords the Federal goverment had to reimburse the state for my claim. But you need to contact your unemployment office to find out if you are eligible. Then you will need to get some paperwork from all of your 2006-2007 employers to submit to the office.

OK...I'll look into it.
