Unemployment?

Question

I about about to get laid off from my job in CA in about 2 weeks. I want to collect unemployment, but my employer is going out of business and I am working part-time. Can I still receive unemployment even though I am part-time? What's the deal if my job is going out of business?

Answer 1

His going out of business makes it easier for you to collect.   Hard to dispute your unemployment is not your fault.

Answer 2

Unemployment benefits are based on your average reported earnings.  Your employer going out of business has no effect on this.
