Question

I work seasonal and have a lay off period of two mths. I was wondering how soon I should apply for benifits. I have 5 children so it is very important that I am not without income for long. Please help.

Answer 1

Federal law gives each state the option to decide whether or not to allow seasonal workers to take benefits.
Whether or not  seasonal employees are covered under unemployment benefits is a matter decided by your individual state. Please contact a representative on one of the numbers provided below to check eligibility.
