I recently filed for unemployment after my most recent temp assignment ended and I'm feeling a bit anxious. I was laid off over a year ago and have been working with several temp agencies, which helped me find projects, so I only collected unemployment for about 10 weeks during that time. I also took on a part-time job, but the hours are inconsistent, ranging from 5 to 20 hours a week. When I filed for unemployment, I assumed it would be similar to the previous year, where I wouldn't collect many weeks if I continued to get projects or enough hours from my part-time job. However, right after submitting my claim online, I noticed that a phone interview was set up to determine my eligibility. This has made me nervous, and I'm questioning if I did something wrong or if I'm ineligible in some way. From what I've gathered, it seems that the phone interview is a normal procedure in California for new claims to check eligibility. I plan to be honest about my temp work and part-time hours during the interview and will have my dates and pay ready. I'm just hoping for the best.
