Employer not answering Unemployment Compensation Adjudication Form!?
I worked for an Insurance Agency out on Henderson Blvd. (across the street from antique shops)in Tampa, Fl. This was for about three months, 110 days. I was let go, because the owner told me he lost 50% of his book of business. Also, he told me he had no position for me in sales and that I needed to go into sales from customer service. I had just been promoted to doing re-writes that morning in the meeting. Now he hasn’t answered the adjudication form(They make the decision if I’m to receive benefits, or not.) for unemployment. Additionally, he told me that he was going to send me a written recommendation. I’m baffled at this ! I’m probably going to lose my car, since I can’t make the payment. I have been searching for jobs left and right.. Is this ethical what this guy is doing ? I think an attorney might be able to help me here. I feel embarrassed and humiliated. I’m a 2/20 licensed insurance agent, but all the schooling I went through, this guy made me feel like a piece of trash !
If the employer does not respond to the unemployment department within a limited period of time (typically 15 to 30 days) your claim will be approved as filed. (Some states even instruct employers to not return the form unless they intend to contest your claim.) This might delay the start of your benefits slightly (typically it takes 3 to 5 weeks before you see your first check anyway) but even if it does you will not lose any benefits as long as you have been filing your periodic benefit claims on time. Any arrears will be made up with your first payment.
Most lenders will work with you during trying times IF you come to them first and ask. No bank wants to repossess a car even during a brisk economy as it’s almost always a losing proposition for them. As long as they know that you are alive and kicking and are working to resolve your financial crisis and not just a garden-variety deadbeat nearly all lenders will put off extreme measures such as repossessions for as long as possible. If you’ve been a good customer they DO want to keep you as a customer and a bank that cuts you some slack when times are tough is much more likely to catch your future business when times are flush.
this is common, you have to fight with the unemployment agency in your state, they aren’t a court of law and takes longer to make them acknowledge..they figure you will just go away…

Sounds like my daughter’s story. I guess that is standard procedures for insurance companies. The reason they didn’t answer the form is because if they don’t protest, you will get the full benefit of unemployment. Insurance companies can’t give anything away, because they have to acount for all expenditures and have to answer to stock holders who are only concerned with the bottom line.

If they don’t respond, the unemployment bureau will proceed with processing your claim without their input.
Unless you had another job shortly before that one, you probably didn’t work long enough to be eligible for benefits.
