Q) I recently retired from my job because I felt I was being treated unfairly and forced out of the work place. I am looking for another job in the meantime; can I file for unemployment
A) No, you cannot file for unemployment if you retired. You must be actively seeking employment in order to be eligible for unemployment benefits. If you are retired, you are not considered to be actively seeking employment.
If you feel you were treated unfairly and forced out of your job, you may want to consider filing a complaint with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC). The EEOC is a federal agency that enforces laws prohibiting employment discrimination.
You may also want to speak with an attorney who specializes in employment law. An attorney can help you understand your rights and options and can represent you in any legal proceedings.
