Worked two jobs for the past five years my second job was self employed and paid cash and it stopped in March due to COVID I work as after school tutor freelance (school closed). my first job I was able to keep working up until I was forced to quit in august because my close relative was diagnose with COVID and I had to primarily be her caretaker. I applied for unemployment was denied I applied for PUA and was denied their reason was I didn’t lose my job do to the pandemic but I did. I appealed this decision I still haven’t been back to work since august how long does it take and will the judge approve it in my favor? I’ve been having it very hard on the verge of being evicted because I am months behind I am the primary caretaker in my family I’m having another baby in February please I hope and pray I will be approved I can’t afford basic need so please any advice #pua #benefits #appeals #illinoisunemployment #unemployment #selfemployed
Listen for new Stimulus package they are working on passing this Friday, 12/18. They may extend Pandemic UI. If not, you have the option of the EB (extended benefits extension) from your State. Look up the % thresh hold for your particular State to see if you qualify.
Hi, Rory, Did you have to respond to UIA for the reason why you were exited? You need to respond that you Performed the Job to the Best of your Ability; and that you were given no previous warnings (if they did not give you any). Those are two things you should stress in your answer to UIA. You are supposed to be given previous coaching if it was your performance and a chance to improve. Ensure UIA that you did the job to the best of your ability and would have gladly workd thigs out, if given a chance.
Hi @Destiney Wingard - my advice would be to continue following up about a decision about your appeal. Other than that, are you ready to return to work? I know that you are expecting very soon, but would you feel comfortable finding a remote job perhaps?
