My question involves unemployment benefits for the state of: CA
Hi
I was a successful sales rep in the advertising industry for the last three years. In the middle of last year my Mom who lived in Europe was diagnosed with cancer. I took a leave of absence for three months since February and went to see her. It was a horrible experience, she died in a hospital and I am still picking myself up. I got very depressed and I am still in grief.
When I came back to the US I was not able to sell anything and I quit my job. Employer knew about my Mom's death and how hard it was for me, I was not be able to take any more vacation or another leave of absence. I told them I am quiting to start doing something on my own because I did not want to admit that I was not able to deal with my Mom's death. I have a business that has been under my name, so I am considered a corporate officer but it did not and does not make any money. I heard that I will have to write if I am an officer. I quit my job at the end of May, so I know it has been a while. Like I mentioned before, I've been a mess since my Mom's death, so at the time quiting I did not even think about unemployment etc... Right now my savings are running out and I want to start looking for a job. Do I have any chances to qualify for unemployment? I appreciate all the help!
