Benefits Denied

One of the dirty secrets of this recession is that 1 in 4 unemployed workers are being denied unemployment benefits by their former employer.  It’s bad enough to be laid off, much less be told you are being denied benefits when you need them the most.

Employer challenges are on the rise. The number filing challenges have doubled in 15 years.  For companies this is an economic decision.  Many business owners are struggling to keep their doors open.  The premiums paid to the state by a business owner are partially based on the number of claims filed. In industries where turnover is high the rate assessed to the business can be high.

If this happens to you check with your local unemployment office  about the rules for appeal.  Make sure you follow all the rules and meet all deadlines.  A majority of these claims are won by employees.  If you are still employed be sure you have good attendance and follow all company rules. If you are discharged for cause the employer may legitimately deny your claim. If you have any questions contact your local office.  If you need legal advice contact an employment lawyer.
