What is the name of your state? Texas
I worked at a high-volume, high-stress call center for nearly 4 years. As I understand it, I was given immediate termination nearly 3 weeks ago for making an obscene hand gesture directed at no one.
I thought that I'd be reinstated, so I delayed roughly a week before applying for unemployment insurance. Today, I was told that, provided my last employer does not fight the application, an unemployment check should be mailed on July 20th. I understand that if my claim is denied, I have the right to appeal the denial. I also understand that my appeal might be denied. Would you recommend that I contact an attorney? If so, at what point during this process, should a contact an attorney (now, wait until I get information in the mail about my claim for unemployment insurance, if it is denied - wait until I get a reply to an appeal, etc.)
I understand that I made a mistake. I learned from it. I've had several interviews but I've received no job offer yet. I understand that my boss had every legal right to fire me, but I still think that I'm entitled to unemployment insurance.
I think that this is all of the information that you need. Again, please give me any advice concerning if and when to contact an attorney for issues concerning my desire to be approved for unemployment insurance. Thanks.
