Agency Employee: Hello, state
unemployment
agency.
George: Hello, I’d like to apply for
unemployment benefits.
Agency Employee: Okay, give me your address
and I’ll send you an application.
George: How much can I get?
Agency Employee: That depends.
Your
benefits are calculated based on
your
quarterly earnings. You were
laid
off from your job?
George: Yes, I was. I qualify, don’t
I?
Agency Employee: People who work
part-time jobs or are
self-employed
aren’t eligible. If you worked in a
full-time position, you should
qualify.
Fill out the application and we’ll let you know.
George: What else does the application ask
for?
Agency Employee: You have to
affirm
that you’re able to work and that you’re
actively seeking employment.
George: I’m definitely doing that. I’ve been
meaning to ask you, are you
hiring?
