What is the name of your state? Ohio
My mother, who is almost 70, was forced out of her job back in July (due to a change in the scheduling at work that no longer allowed part-time employees). She had been with the company for 30+ years, and dismissed with not so much as a fruit basket or card. 2-3 others were also let go, but none had been there as long as her.
She was more or less told that if she left quietly and didn't make a stink for them with the client (they worked in a major corporations building), that should would qualify for unemployment and could draw that benefit for the next little while.
So we did that, and went through the application process. Problem is (and what they didn't tell her or anticipate), is she was denied due to "...not earning enough weekly during the claimed period of 2022-2023." Basically they said she had to make at least $360 a week, and she never earned more than $240 (she cleaned bathrooms for a living, working part-time two days a week after my father passed away). It's a pathetic story really, but now she's left with no benefit she was promised (like a dangling carrot, to get her out-of-sight, out-of-mind) and unable to return to her previous work.
Is there anything we can do to appeal it and try and get it approved somehow?
