Analyze that funny scene

If anyone can give me some insight as to whether or not I am correct on those assumptions I have made, or if they have faced similar situations I would GREATLY appreciate your feedback! I m having a hard time facing the reality of closing off my potential to get back on unemployment period at this time, considering that I will have to work TWO minimum wage jobs 25 in WI at an average of 25 hrs a week just to EQUAL my former WBA. I m not being lazy, I just don t like the idea of working my off for LESS. Not to mention that if I do find a decent paying job making 15 or greater then leaving that to pursue my old career field seems risky and foolish until the economy recovers. I had been strongly considering taking a 4 week comprehensive software training class for high end engineering software. It would build upon my present skills and past experience as an Industrial Designer and also give me a good chance of finding a 6 month or 1 year contract job as a CAD Drafter. Which probably wouldnt have benefits or vac. time, but at least I could stand to make over 20 an hour from that. I would likely have made that my new career path vs. depending on Industrial Design. The problem is I need a month of time to do it and I would need to be receiving enough money at that time to live off of. So the best case scenario for me would be for my seasonal jobs to end in early Jan. and for me to resume UI with LAST YEAR S Benefit Year determining my WBA. Then I can take the software training I want to do and increase my potential to find work in my field. If that doesn t happen, IMO I might as well get used to working in a factory because I doubt my ability to find work strictly in my previous career field. Under HR4213, if EUC has been extended and is still in effect when you resume your benefits, you should be able to continue on your old claim at the higher rate. However, this will depend on how Wisconsin is implementing this law. It took a huge effort on the part of CA claimants to even get CA to acknowledge they had the right to their earlier higher benefit rate under HR4 Even after that acknowledgment, there was additional backtracking by CA, which first agreed to pay the higher benefit and then reversed itself and, to my knowledge, as of a month ago, still does not pay the higher benefit under these circumstances. The fact that you know about your rights gives you a leg up if and when you are required to establish a new claim. The time to fight will be then and, again, that is only if HR4213 has been extended. One further comment to directly answer your question. Yes, It does sound as though your earnings will trigger a new claim. Hopefully, Wisconsin has procedures in place so that you can resume benefits under your old claim, rather than accept a new and much lower benefit. I now have a second seasonal job that Im starting so I guess Ill discover what happens come early Jan. If anyone else can share their insight, experiences it is greatly appreciated. Thanks for your reply too Ariadne Illinois here. First eime EVER on unemployment. Any insight is welcomed!!! I was on medical leave from work 1/09 to analyze that funny scene and 10, 000 of us were laid off was not officially laid off until I returned to work 11/15/09 and that is when my unemployment started. So, 00 a week on unemployment 11/15/09 and then I accepted temporary work here and there during 20 I was told that was a good thing, per the unemployment office. Never amount to 150 a week when I had work. 11/14/10 my new year started, I was on Tier Well, I received a letter that I was DENIED due to working temporary/part time here and there through 2010 but I did not work since late 10/10 and the letter said that I was also denied for the new 26 week UI since I had not ever made 400 in a week plus when it recalculated it pulled the last 5 quarters, not 4 quarters like it analyze that funny scene in the original claim so when I was on medical leave from my high paying job of 8 years it simply looks like I was not working way to show I was on covered medical leave. I went to the Unemployment Office and said that I wanted to Defer the Claim using HR4 I was forced by the unemployment worker to fill out paperwork to open a new claim, basically the 26 weeks against the temp/part time employer that Ive worked here and there for during 2010, so I complied but wrote all over it that I wanted HR4213 off of the old 2009 claim. I did call the Illinois senators office and told them what was going on and did say that I was also nervous about the timing of all of this as well. Due to the Thanksgiving holiday week I am not sure what will I will or wont make it in time. By doing the RIGHT thing and working vs sitting on my I could have lost over 500 a week for what, the next 6-12 months!!!!!!!!!! Wow, what a system we have! Really, what is the point of a Federal Law if it really isnt put into effect?!?! Worked temp/part time and HR4213, BYE 11/14/10 All I know is what happened to me. My BYE was 11/14/10 and I worked temp/part time all through 20 I went to my local office and was forced to open a new claim even though I only wanted to reinstate my original claim. Soooo, I wrote all over the new claim Defer to old claim using Federal Law HR4 The local agent claimed that he did not know what that law was, even though it was passed 7/22/ Strange. I was informed by that gentleman to wait two weeks. One week later I was going nuts so I called the 800 that was on the Illinois Unemployment site, under contact us. The Chicago office reinstated my original claim, which was over 500 a week vs the 138 a week of the 2nd year claim!!! I was estatic!!!! I had to go in person to get the dependent allowance reinstated since they need the social security card of the youngest child now. So, I analyze that funny scene that today, 12/3/ Assuming that congress will approve this next round of will continue on Tier II after 12/11/10!!!!
