I don't know if this is a place to air grievances but I was hoping someone could tell me how long one needs to work at Target before being able to file for unemployment.
Yeah like in Texas you have to be laid off they won't give you unemployment if your fired plus have you have to have worked the job for while also.Each state sets its own unemployment insurance benefits eligibility guidelines. Search the internet "qualifying for unemployment benefits + (your state)".
You need to be fired or laid off to be able to file for unemployment in most states.
Unless you have your hours cut so drastically that you can file for temporary assistance.
On that one you can still be working.
How much you get tends to be based on how long you worked.
Or at least it used to be, I'm not sure what the deal is now.
For anyone collecting unemployment, be aware that unless Congress and POTUS agree to pass an emergency extension, the temporary $600-per-week Federal bonus unemployment pay (which was in addition to your state's regular unemployment pay) will end on July 31st. So don't assume you'll be getting that extra-generous UI payout for very long.
Our illustrious elected officials on both sides cannot even come to an agreement over extending benefits, so now its been a month with no federal help. I will admit that even though I benefited from the extra 600 when I was on the unpaid portion of my leave, it was a bit too much. They could cut that in half and it would still help out a lot.Each state sets their own maximum amount you can get..in many states it is way too low that is why the feds kicked in the 600 dollar a week perk otherwise with massive unemployment it would create more chaos resulting in God knows what and still might.
