Unemployment question

I got some unfortunate news last week. After 17 years with a major financial institution in numerous IT jobs, I was the result of a downsizing. After getting over the initial shock, I started thinking about what to do next. I do have 60 days to find something internally (or externally), but if I do not find anything internally, my employment will be terminated and my severance will kick in. (I get 43 weeks of severance). Hooray!

I thought I read about someone in a similiar situation and by having a part-time photography business, they were not eligible for unemployment benefits?

I searched the forums here and did not find anything, so maybe I read it elsewhere.

Anyone heard of anything like that?

Thanks,
Greg

Hi Greg

I used to work as an attorney at the workforce commission. Take a look at this site. It will give you a good start. If it doesn't answer your questions, drop me a PM and I'll see what I can do for you.

Best to you

David
