What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? FL
Hello, I'm not sure if this is the best place to post this but here goes...
I was employed full-time with Company A from 06/08-05/09. I quit Company A in order to take a job with Company B (higher pay). I worked at Co. B for a month and a half and was then terminated because I wasn't catching on (no misconduct). I haven't been able to find a job since, so filed for unemployment on 09/13. I received an initial determination letter, dated 09/21, stating the weekly amount I would receive and that I was eligible (assuming there isn't an appeal from former employer). I registered online and claimed weeks for the first time on 09/28. I haven't received a final determination or deposit (to be fair, I didn't expect this to be a quick process), so I called the Unemployment office today to check the status of my claim and they said it was still under review and to continue claiming my weeks until I get a response.
Two questions:
1. Am I eligible even though I was only with Company B (who terminated my employment) for a month and a half, and voluntarily left Company A?
2. Is there any limit to how long a claim can be "under review" before making a determination? In other words, is there a general response time on this?
Apologies for my ignorance (!), I'm pretty uneducated on these matters. However, I did read the '09 FL Statutes on unemployment and it said something along the lines of: if, after 20 days, the initial determination is uncontested it becomes final. So that's another 4 days away. But if it is contested (my termination from Company B was pretty clear cut, so I don't see how that could happen -- unless Company A comes into play), do I find out soon after the 20 or could it end up a mystery for any length of time?
Thanks in advance!
