College students are going hungry...

Shall we begin with the People's Republik of Kalifornia for example? The most liberal state in the entire union. Well let's just see.............

Eligibility for Unemployment in California
You must meet three eligibility requirements to collect unemployment benefits in California:

• Your past earnings must meet certain minimum thresholds.
• You must be unemployed through no fault of your own, as defined by California law.
• You must be able, available, and actively seeking work.

In California, as in most states, the base period is the earliest four of the five complete calendar quarters before you filed your claim for benefits. For example, if you filed your claim in October of 2015, the base period would be from June 1, 2014, through May 31, 2015.

During the base period, your earnings must meet one of these two requirements:

• You must have earned at least $1,300 in your highest paid quarter of the base period.
• You must have earned at least $900 in your highest paid quarter of the base period and at least 1.25 times your earnings in the highest paid quarter during the entire base period

Reasons for Unemployment
You must be out of work through no fault of your own to qualify for unemployment benefits.

Layoffs. If you are laid off, lose your job in a reduction-in-force (RIF), or get "downsized" for economic reasons, you will meet this requirement.

Firing. If you are fired because you lacked the skills to perform the job or simply weren't a good fit, you should be able to collect benefits. If you are fired for misconduct, however, you will not be eligible for unemployment benefits. In California, misconduct makes you ineligible for unemployment benefits only if all four of these statements are true:

• You owed a "material" duty to the employer. This means a duty that is properly part of the job (this can be, for example, showing up for work and performing your job duties).
• You substantially breached that duty (in other words, you didn't perform the duty). A minor or one-time transgression isn't enough to disqualify you from receiving benefits.
• Your breach of the duty showed a wanton or willful disregard for that duty. In other words, you weren't just careless or thoughtless but, instead, intentionally violated the duty or showed a reckless disregard for the consequences of your breach of the duty. Inefficiency, inability to perform the job, or good faith errors in judgment don't meet this standard and won't render you ineligible for unemployment benefits in California.
• Your breach of the duty must tend to harm the employer's business interests.you quit your job, you won't be eligible for unemployment benefits unless you had a good reason for quitting, meaning that a reasonable person who truly wanted a job would have left under the same circumstances. If you had good cause related to your job (such as illegal discrimination, harassment, unsafe working conditions, or fraud by your employer), you will be eligible for unemployment benefits. In this situation, you must have taken reasonable steps to resolve the situation before quitting, which means you must have discussed the problem with your employer and allowed a reasonable amount of time for the employer to fix the situation before you left the job.

Availability to Work
To maintain your eligibility for unemployment benefits, you must be able to work, available to accept a job, and looking for work.

Oh how the left has to make up crap just so they can argue for free stuff......starving students....hahaha!

 

anybody can talk, right wingers. you all have nothing but fallacy, and whine to the moderators when You have the Inferior arguments.

 

How does that conform to existing at-will employment laws?

 

the right wing only knows how to finance their economy at the expense of the People.

 

Oh I don't know...........you just got hammered with facts by the most liberal state in the union. ALL 50 states have similar rules. You think maybe, just maybe all 50 states are insane but you are right?

 

Where do you get this silliness?

 

Amazing, isn't it?

 

Sez who?

 

My guess is some high school student.

 

Better find an at-will unemployment State

 

His social studies teacher, right before he dropped out

 

lol. yes, that is unequal protection of the law; the right wing never gets it, but want to be taken seriously regarding our Constitution and Constitutional law.

 

sez me. Our welfare clause is general and should cover simple poverty due to capitalism's natural rate of unemployment.

 

Just so we're clear, all 50 states are unconstitutionally enforcing labor law standards for unemployment compensation....and you stand firm on that?

 

sure; a federal doctrine claims they are all not merely Wrong, but repugnant to individual liberty and natural rights.

 

Baloney. The people prosper when there is small government and less government in people's lives. Just ask those in Venezuela.

 

You should do some work

 

I'm sure the courts eagerly await your briefs. I think my work is done here.

 

Who do we see 'bout collectin' our reparations?

 

Natural right of what?
You claim this to be a state law in select states only.
Is it a law or a right?

 

anybody can talk; you need valid arguments to convince.

i have; i also know there is no appeal to ignorance of the law.

 

Do more work.
Life is hard. Suck it up
