    Default Appealing a Denial Based Upon Insufficient Employment History

    My question involves unemployment benefits for the state of: GA

    Let's say you were a stay-at-home mom until your children were old enough to start school. Then, you went back to work and after less than 6 months on the job, you're laid off. When you apply for unemployment, you're denied on the basis that you worked for that company for less than 6 months. If you appeal, what are the odds you'll be approved for unemployment? When unemployment insurance is denied on that basis, how often is the decision ever reversed after an appeal?

    Let's say that you're on a board in which volunteers try to help real people with real problems. Let's say that you suddenly realize that the volunteers value their time, and start respecting the board and its other members by not posting broad hypothetical questions that are of use to no one.

    Under those circumstances, the odds are about 62 gazillion to one that you'll be approved on appeal, and the decision is reversed just about that often - once in every 62 gazillion times. If you have not worked the required length of time to qualify for benefits, then you don't. Appealing will not change that.

    6 months can be enough time to work to qualify for benefits, but how those 6 months are distributed within the four calendar quarters and when you apply will make all the difference.

    If you applied recently and were monetarily denied, apply again on October 1, and if still monetarily denied, apply again on Jan 2, 2013. At that point, your full 6 months of employment will have appeared in the base period for doing the calculation.

    You appear to be talking about California. In Georgia, the base period is the first four of the last five calendar quarters completed at the time the applicant files her claim. An alternative base period consisting of the most recently completed four calendar quarters may be used only when a claim cannot be established using the regular base period.
