1 more day til vaca!!!1

I thought unemployment was only available after someone had been fired (or laid off) rather than "resigning"

Silly. This is NY.

To qualify for benefits:

You must have worked and been paid wages for employment in at least two calendar quarters in your base period;

AND

You must have been paid at least $1600 in wages in one of the calendar quarters in your base period;

I pay almost 2/5ths of my income into unemployment. I want to try it. I never filed when I got laid off from my other job cause it wasnt online and I didnt want to go downtown.
 
I am going to be off work from the 20th through the 2nd. YAY! I am sure I will still get phone calls and have to help out as I can over that time, but at least I will be able to sleep in a little and be away from the office.

Oregon...here I come.
