My question involves unemployment benefits for the state of: California
Hi,
I have applied for unemployment benefits in september 2013. I got benefits for around 2months and then they stopped and requested for telephone interview. The reason being:
I came from India to work in california through a service company. I worked for 2+ years here in california. now they are asking me to back to India because there is no appropriate work for me here. I have a work permit to work here, but still they asked me to go back. since I'm married and i live here with my husband, i had to quit my job. (I'm assuming they would have fired me if i did not resign).
Now while applying unemployment benefits, I mentioned the reason for leaving as 'Laid off/Lack of work' (since they told lack of work). Now my company told unemployment benefits folks that I resigned voluntarily. Don't know why they should say that.
I have the telephone interview with unemployment benefits folks regarding this confusion. So how do I proceed now?
Any inputs are highly appreciated.
Thank you!!
