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

I am a preschool teacher at a not for profit organization. We do not work full-time and have no union of benefits. I gave my resignation for the 2010-2011 school year recently to my employer. I had a verbal agreement to do a 6 week summer camp program at the school (I have do this for the past 10 years) and a couple of days after I was told that I could no longer do the summer camp because I was no longer on staff. As the school year that I was working is still the 2009-2010 school year and they will not allow me to work even though I was ready willing and able to can I collect unemployment for them not allowing me to work.

Thanks,

You have nothing to lose by filing for benefits. Your employer, private, not for profit, is apt to be a "reimbursing employer" which means they have to pay unemployment taxes only IF you are determined eligible, though they are not a tax paying entitly. However, since one of the requirements is that you have to be out of work through no fault of your own, they're probably not going to have to pay you unemployment because they didn't let you do the summer program, when you had already resigned for the next school year. But file a claim, certainly it costs nothing, you have nothing to lose.
