Is it true that you can't collect UI benefits if your employer hasn't paid UI taxes?

Question

My company said they need to be "reinstated" then I can claim benefits. Is this bogus? Am I REALLY out of the $6400 in UI benefits that I am overdue?
Is there anyway I can collect - if anyone knows of any way, it would really be appreciated.

Can a suit be filed or would I end up spending my UI benefits in paying the lawyer's fees?

Answer 1

IF your company has 10 or more employees,they are required by LAW to have UI.

Let your company know that either pay you what's owed,or you are going to take LEGAL action(s)

Answer 2

Many state laws are involved here, so check with your state UI bureau - you should be able to find a contact number on your state website.

I'd go ahead and file anyway, if you haven't already, and let the state UI bureau sort it out. If they already denied you, then you're probably on hold on this one. If the company is supposed to be paying and isn't, they'll sort it out.

In Pennsylvania at least, you're still obliged to pay into UI even with less than the 10 employees that the other responder mentioned. There are some laws that don't kick in with fewer employees (like FMLA) but not UI. Other states might have different rules.

Good luck.

Answer 3

it certainly relies upon on what you do on November 2, 2010. And, while talking approximately tax ameliorations and the U. S. Congress there is fairly in undemanding terms one factor which you may confirm of, and that's which you won't be able to confirm of something!
