Unemployment

I have a friend thats a lawyer. I was with him once going to lunch and he stopped by the law firm that his girlfriend (at the time) worked at (she was a legal secretary). That firm just handled sexual harassment cases, and probably needless to say was all women.

I made an off-hand comment asking if I could sue myself for sexual harassment? Just as I was asking that, one of the firms lawyers happened to be walking up behind me (a VERY good looking lawyer I might add). She says "why, have you been touching yourself inappropriately?".

I ALMOST said "as often as I can" but for once in my life I bit my tongue

 

State of CA disqualifies you the second you become self employed, they refer you to SBA for a loan or other options

 

But do they mandate you must pay for unemployment insurance?

 

thanks for the insight. So if you have money stashed away you don't qualify for unemployment?

 

Let me get this right, you was once self employed(O/O), you went out of business due to medical reasons. You kept your equipment, hid your savings and filed for unemployment benefits. Is this correct so far ? So once you get well, you will go back in business (O/O) and move on …….. seriously, I’m asking, or correct me please….

 

I will say this. I’ve been paying into unemployment for almost 10 years. I’m an o/o but I’m down as an employee. I’m also an employee at the brokerage I own. I pay unemployment for that as well.

why shouldn’t I get to claim unemployment?
I never have but I think I might start. Last year I didn’t work November at all. And only 4 days in December. The farm I contract with had no loads for me so I stayed home.

sure I could have grabbed some crap paying load and kept money coming in. But since I pay all this money for unemployment benefits what the problem claiming them?

also what does my savings account have to do with claiming unemployment. Just because I have money in a saving or even a retirement account should have no bearing on the unemployment benefits that I pay for every two weeks!
