My question involves labor and employment law for the state of: Georgia
I'm located in Georgia and work at the Verizon HQ in Georgia but the staffing agency that hired me is located in New Jersey. I have been working for Verizon since January 2016 as a independent contractor through the staffing agency but we were notified that Verizon was getting rid of many of their contract positions so therefore my "assignment" has ended. Verizon basically got rid of the position so I wasn't fired or quit. But its been tough trying to find a replacement job and I've just been living off what I've saved but its not a good feeling when you have no income coming in. I was paid by the staffing agency (not Verizon) and received a W2 with taxes being taken out each paycheck.
Is it possible for me to apply for unemployment benefits in Georgia temporarily while I search for a new position? I was thinking of going ahead and applying but wanted some opinions first.
