What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Georgia

How do I know if I am eligible for Unemployment? What are the rules?

 

[ecmst12]

You have to file for it, then you'll find out if you're eligible. Anyone can file, it's free and if you are not approved you lose nothing.

Having said the above, always, always, file. Even if you think you may not be eligible.

 

[cbg]

You file for unemployment and see what they say. There is no penalty for being wrong, and if they say no, you're no worse off than you would have been if you didn't apply at all.

Put it this way. If you do apply, you might get benefits. If you don't apply, you won't get benefits.

Must have covered wages in the last 18 months from Georgia or another state, or a combination of such. Must have left your last job through no fault of your own. Must be able, available and actively seeking full time work. As the fellows said, no cost, nothing lost except the amount of time you will wait trying to get in on the call in system.
