Unemployment Due to childcare
Show your support
My understanding is that you only get paid unemployment if you are actively looking for work and are not able to find it
I extended my maternity
I extended by talking to the doctor and he diagnosed me with severe postpartum so I was able to stay longer on my and get paid longer
I just quit my job for that same reason. When I filled for unemployment it did ask me why I was unemployed one of the options was child care problems.
I was in the same situation, unfortunately I was denied. In order to receive unemployment, you have to actively be looking for work and ready to work; nothing can be preventing you from working. It’s stupid because I can work from home with son , I just can’t go in person but I would still have to decline jobs that don’t allow that flexibility which means I’m not “ready” or “available” to work. I hope that helps!
@Jay Have you heard back from them?
@So’yaZhe Well that's lame because you are ready to work from home!
Hi, yes I did. I was approved of my unemployment.
@Jay Congratulations! Can I PM you?
Yes you can.
