They might want to see some documentation of what you were doing while unemployed. Wouldn't the misd at 16yo be juvenile and sealed? Unless there's something else these two items will not be a problem. Where are you located?

10 grand ? ? ?
where do you live ?

I'm pretty sure a misdemeanor at 16 would never see the light of day as you were a juvenile at the time and those records are normally sealed. Would not worry about that and would not list it.

I'm having some problems with this myself. Getting documentation of when you were employed makes sense. But how are you supposed to account for time that you were not employed? The closest thing I can think of is my Social Security yearly summary that gives an account of all the times I was putting into it. Aren't you required to pay into SS when are employed? Wouldn't that cover it?

Normally you have to account for all time including that unemployed between jobs. I tend to take a few weeks to a month in between jobs to clear my head and have never been asked for proof that I was unemployed. They just want to account for the time.

Regarding the long unemployment period, get a notarized statement from someone who knows you who can verify you weren't a pot farmer. On the other hand, they may not request it anyway; there were a lot of us unemployed for a long, long time.

There is no such person who can verify that. Not only that, but Swift doesn't want just one reference, they want two. I've been living on public assistance a long time and you would think that the officials who have been monitoring me every three months, every year might be able to prove my unemployment, but they tell me they can't do that. Everywhere I look, it makes less and less sense.
