I just got laid off from my seasonal job at a marina in Michigan, and I'm feeling overwhelmed. I thought I could apply for unemployment benefits while I look for winter work, but my claim was rejected without any explanation. I only discovered this when I checked my MIWAM account; I never received a rejection letter, email, or any notice at all. This is really concerning because my income is crucial for supporting my family, and without this assistance, I might lose my apartment and car. I’m actively searching for new jobs, but the market has been tough since COVID. Today, I applied to five positions, but I know it could take weeks to find something stable. I really don’t want to end up in fast food or retail, as I have skills as a blue-collar laborer and tradesman. I'm not sure where to turn next to get help with my unemployment claim, but I’m hoping to find someone who can assist me.
