    Default Denied UI After Leaving a Temporary Job

    My question involves unemployment benefits for the state of: NY - Initially I was denied unemployment because the Dept of Labor sent my paperwork to the wrong company. I appealed the decision and in the interim re-registered with a temp service (that was contributing to my UI - I worked for the service during the evening). The temp service called regarding a job and I went in and not long after, my UI kicked in and the temp service had another job available.
    The job was awful and I asked the temp service if they could find someone else for that position and find my another job. The temp service agreed, subsequently I have been denied UI benefits.
    Did I commit a violation and can I be denied?

    It's not a violation, but "the job being awful" is not nearly enough for us to say that you quit for a reason that would not disqualify you. Generally speaking, quitting disqualifies you from benefits.

    What was so "awful" about it and how long did you stick it out?

    I didn't believe I was qualified to do the job. I think I was there a total of three days including a day of training. The job entailed us cold calling people who had signed up on line (not knowing exactly what they signed up for) to travel 30 miles or more to hang signs in Dollar Stores for $8.00 (not an hour, but just for $8.00).
    In the past I have worked as a Paralegal - doing more criminal work and for the Courts.

    Additionally, the temp service called me for other jobs. I wasn't able to do them, but I was not terminated by the temp service.

    But you DID refuse work, which generally disqualifies you for benefits in most if not all states.

    I DIDN'T refuse. I DID go to the job, I ASKED to be reassigned and the temp service acquiesced.

    Asking to be taken off the assignment is the same thing as refusing work, for unemployment purposes.
