Question on unemployment

Here's my situation:

I have been temping since August of last year, and my assignment is over as of August 1st. If the agency can't come up with another assignment, can I collect unemployment? Exactly how does the unemolpyment thing work if you're temping, vs a full time job that lays you off?

Also, I work in the city but live in Suffolk county, do I apply here in the city, or at home?

Any feedback would be appreciated. Thanks!!

You should definitely review whatever paperwork you signed with the agency to see if you are eligible for unemployment and under what circumstances.

I would think that the agency would not provide you with unemployment since you are not necessarily their employee but rather a client. I can't help but think that they would avoid those relationships otherwise they would have a great liability on their hands.

If you find that you are eligible...definitely check out this site: NYS Unemployment

ETA: Definitely investigate! I found this on the website:

"Employment is any service performed under a contract of hire, either written or oral. An employee is a worker who performs services for compensation under the supervision, direction and control of an employer. Unless specifically excluded by law, all employment performed for a liable employer is covered whether it is on a part-time, full-time, temporary, seasonal, or casual basis. Employees may perform services on or off the employer's premises or in their own homes."

Re: Question on unemployment

yes, you can apply for unemployment. Go on to NYS Dept of Labor and file online. There is a one week waiting period. I tempted for a while and did this in between jobs.

Definitely apply. I was in the same exact situation and received unemployment without a problem. However, I did have to check in with my agency every week to see if they had anything for me...

If you work for an agency, you would qualify for unemployment. You would apply in the county of your residence (Suffolk).
