Q) I am currently not working because of health issues.The was doing reQuired me to be on my feet but i have bad veins in my right leg and can not be on it long, and i was only work 25 to 30 hours a week….Would i be eligible to sign up for unemployment?

A) It is possible that you could be eligible for unemployment benefits, but the decision will ultimately be up to the unemployment office in your state.

In order to be eligible for unemployment benefits, you must meet certain requirements, such as:

  • You must have been employed in the state where you are filing for benefits.
  • You must have been laid off through no fault of your own.
  • You must be able to work and available for work.
  • You must be able to look for work.

In your case, it sounds like you were unable to work due to your health issues. This could be considered a legitimate reason for unemployment benefits. However, it is important to note that the unemployment office will also consider your employer’s reasons for terminating your employment.

If you are concerned about your eligibility for unemployment benefits, I recommend that you contact your state’s unemployment office. They will be able to provide you with more information about the specific requirements in your state and help you file a claim.

Here are some additional things to consider:

  • You may need to provide proof of your medical restrictions from your doctor.
  • You may need to provide proof that you are actively seeking work.
  • You may need to file a weekly claim with your state’s unemployment office.

If you are approved for unemployment benefits, you will receive a weekly payment. The amount of your payment will depend on your earnings and the state you live in.

One of the requirements required to qualify for unemployment benefits is that you are willing and able to go back to work and searching for work while claiming benefits. So if you have health issues that prevent you from working you will not be eligible to qualify for unemployment benefits.
