Question Hi, I was recently let go from my job (very unjustly but that's another matter) I filed for unemployment benefits and got them only to have them postponed because, as it turns out, my boss might not have been paying her unemployment insurance. What! I had no idea this was even possible. When you go for an interview the last thing that you ask is "are you guys paying your insurance"? Can I sue them for that? I was fired because of a "feeling" and now I'm left without income, no way to pay my bills, and no unemployment. In the 20 something years that my mom and I have lived here we have never not paid the rent. How is this legal? Is there anything I can do? No wonder when I told her I was filing for unemployment she said "good luck with that".
Thank you,
Ivette from New York
Answer It is not legal and the company should pay a huge fine and penalty for not paying their unemployment taxes. In the meantime you still should be paid from the general fund or from federal funding. Did they say you would not be paid or that it is postponed until they investigate?
