Unemployment rule disheartening
I worked for a Maryland 501 3c company that has a branch office in Knoxville. I worked out of my home in Ringgold and was their only employee in Georgia.
I was laid off on June 30, applied for unemployment and was told no wages reported. According to the Georgia Department of Labor, if a 501 3c has less than four workers in a state, it does not have to supply unemployment benefits.
The company chief financial officer says he never heard of this rule but since they did nothing illegal, they will not provide unemployment benefits.
I find it ironic that with all the talk of extending unemployment, I do not qualify because of a little- known rule. I am 62 years old, and it took me six months to find the job I had; no telling how long it will take me this time. I am having to live off my savings but am confident things will work out for me and my family,
