My employeer is cutting hours, i went from seen 40plus hours of work a week to now getting 15 hours, am i qualified for unemployment? If so what do i need to bring in.
To qualify for unemployment you must be totally or partially unemployed, meet monetarily eligibility and have worked the required hours (in a given period of time) required by your state.
Typical information needed to file Unemployment:
Your Social Security Number
The name, mailing address, and phone number of your last employer
The last day you worked
If you worked outside of State within the last 18 months, you will also need the names and dates worked for those employers
