Yes Virginia, You Can Collect Unemployment.
Temps are considered employees of the agency they work for and therefore CAN collect unemployment when they don't work.
The first week you don't work is a qualifying week.
The current highest rate for unemployment in NYC is about $365.00 per week. You must have worked 20 of the previous 52 weeks.
If your assignment ends and you don't get any other work, it is a good idea to register. You never know if there could be a week or two around the holidays in which there may not be work. You can collect even if your work one or two days in the week as long as you make less than about $360 in the week. If you register in Jan and don't collect (because you get work) you are still qualified to receive a check for a year, so if in December you don't work a week, all you have to do is call in and they send you a check in the mail. |

NY State has apparently changed its application process for unemployment. Now when you go to the office and say you want to
register they hand you some papers with instructions on how to register over the telephone.
The documentation says, inter alia:
Before placing this call, have the following available:
1. Your Social Security number
2. Your New York State driver's license or Motor Vehicle ID card number if you have one.
3. Your mailing address and zip code.
4. A Telephone number where you can be contacted for additional information.
5. Your alien registration card number, if you have one.
6. The names and addresses of all employers for whom you've worked within the last 18 months, including those in another state.
7. Your total gross earnings (pay stubs, W2 forms, etc.) for each of your employers during the last 18 months.
8. Your copies of forms SF8 and SF 50, if you had federal employment within the last 18 months.
9. Your copy of your most recent separation form DD 214, if you are an ex-service member claiming benefits based on your military
service.
To file a claim call 814-8144 |
