    North Caroline Emloyment Compensation

    So you have found yourself unemployed and need to be able to move forward without losing the things that you’ve already worked hard for like your home and your vehicle. Basic necessities also still need to be met. You’re about being able to put food on the table, shoes on the kids, and gas in the car. It’s probably time to cut back for a while on how much money is being spent. That may mean in your case as with many others , that nonessentials are just that for the time being.

    The good news is that if you meet the following qualifications, you can at least continue to get some compensation while figuring out your next step toward steady income.

    To qualify for Unemployment Insurance in the State of North Carolina, you must have been recently employed. You will need to show that during what is considered a “base period”, you were earning wages. The amount of the benefits you will receive and the length of time you qualify to receive them is based on the amount you earned and the amount of time you worked during this “base period” . The exact amount cannot be determined until you actually apply.

    You also need to show that you are currently unemployed through no fault of your own (downsizing, company closing, ect)

    Then once you have applied and been accepted, there is one “waiting week”, during which time you will not receive any compensation. Your Unemployment Insurance will begin the second week after you have been approved.

    You must continue to file your claim each week while showing that you are actively seeking employment. This means generally that you should be following up your job search by applying in person on at least two separate days to at least two separate employers. Keep good written records of these attempts in preparation for periodic reviews of your efforts to diligently seek new employment.

    You may need to respond to questions about your continued qualifications and you must report any wages, job offers or any refusal of work for each applicable week.

    North Carolina Unemployment Insurance may be exactly what you need to keep your head above water for a short time while you find your next job or career path. If you see that you may qualify based on the criteria mentioned here, you can call The Employment Security Commission of North Carolina seven days a week at this number : 1-877-841-9617
