Missouri Age limit to file for unemployment?

Question

Okay well I currently work at Sonic. I am 16 years old and I have been working there for 8months now (started when i was 15 for 12days). I have worked over 799hours (tomorrow should make it 830ish since its payday) however I know I am probably close of getting fired, due to them now lowering my hours.

Please help! Thanks!

Answer 1

If you are still in school, I doubt you will be able to draw the benefits.

Answer 2

Unemployment is for full time employment. You are working part time. I really don't think you would qualify for unemployment benefits, unless you can prove you need the income to survive (pay for a place to live, put food on the table, etc.).
