    Applied to a Job Feeling Thinking

    I was a temp at a company in 2023, and during my time there, the internal recruiter mentioned that I could reach out to him when applying for internal roles, even after my temporary position ended. I've been following this advice and have been emailing him through the original thread from when I worked there, which has always resulted in a response. However, I've noticed that when I send him new emails, he doesn't reply. I even called his work cell once, and he mentioned that my new emails were going straight to his spam folder. Last week, I applied for a new role and sent him a new email, but I haven't heard back yet. I'm considering whether I should reply to the new email I sent or go back to the old email thread to follow up.

    Feeling Planning Thinking

    I recently faced a layoff from my job on July 2, 2026, after working from June to December 2025. Prior to that, I had a temp job in April 2025 and was mostly unemployed throughout 2024 and half of 2025. I applied for unemployment right after my layoff on January 2, 2026, and I believe my benefit year ends on that date. I started a new job on January 19, 2026, but now I'm concerned about what happens next. I’m thinking about reopening my unemployment case if I can’t find a new job and I want to know if I can file for a new claim in 2027 after my current benefits run out. Also, I’m curious if having a Roth IRA and a 401k will impact my unemployment benefits in any way. I’ve heard that as long as I earned $1300 in a quarter during my benefit year, I should be able to file a new claim, but I want to make sure I understand all the details.
