(I'm in Florida)
Hello, I hope someone in this post might be able to elucidate my doubts...
I've been working since May 2011 as an employee with W2, previous to that I was a freelancer (independent contractor) for about 4 yrs. I have now been laid off. My position has been terminated (no fault) as of April 1st 2012 I will no longer be employed. Do I qualify for unemployment according to the BASE PERIOD? I've read all about the four of the past five quarters, but I'm still confused. I have 2 full quarters in 2011, over half of one quarter in 2011 (May and June, but not April!), and Jan, Feb, March in 2012. Does the base period mean I must have been employed for a FULL YEAR (or complete full four/five calendar years?) Would I qualify for unemployment here in FLORIDA having worked 11 months? Thank you!What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?
