Author: Question by : What is being done for senior citizens? I was laid off from my job at age 63, and as a result, lost my home,?
After being laid off at age 63, I lost my home, and am now seeking another job. It is difficult if not impossible finding a job at age 65, but I keep trying. I hear that home owners are getting $ 50,000 to avoid foreclosure. I begged for help in 2008/29009 and received nothing. What about those of us who lost their homes already?

I got laid off & received 2 weeks severance pay – when should I file for unemployment?
Question by marycotter5678: I got laid off & received 2 weeks severance pay – when should I file for unemployment?
I got laid off yesterday and my company agreed to pay me 2 weeks of severance pay plus they have to pay me out for 12 unused vacation days. Should I file for unemployment now? If I file now do I have to tell them about the severance pay & vacation day payouts? Will that reduce my unemployment benefits, delay them until or affect them in any other way???
I really need advice! Thanks!

Answer by PJ
File right away, let them know about the severance and vacation pay – your employer will report that. It will just delay your benefits. But you have to file within a certain time of being laid off.

Is it legal to be laid off with out severance pay?
Question by Miss Brookyn: Is it legal to be laid off with out severance pay?
After 3 1/2 months of being employed by this ad agency in NYC. I have been laid off for financial reason. The company had to make changes to avoid financial ruin. My position was one of the ‘cutbacks’. I did exceptionally well on my 3 month review. What gives?
I wasn’t even given any notice. I was told the bad news on a Friday at 4 pm. Is this legal? This was not a temp job. I was given a salary, benefits and all.
There were several big projects due and I feel like I was brought in to handle the bulk of the work. Now that it is done, there is no need for me. If they hired me as a freelancer they would’ve have paid twice my salary.So by putting me on salary they saved money but not having to pay overtime. Is this a common practice?

What is the penalty for quitting without good cause? If you are not eligible for benefits because you quit without good cause, you cannot collect benefits until you have found a job and earned at least 10 times your benefit rate. (This is about five weeks of pay if you earn what you made at your old job).
The rules about quitting are very strict. Even if you think you have good cause, you should check with a lawyer or the unemployment compensation office before you quit to make sure you will be able to get benefits.
You should always try to work out any problems with your supervisor before you quit. If you don’t give your employer a chance to work out the problem, you may be denied benefits.

Question by collegelife: What to get older mom, laid off, does nothing but watch TV all day?
My mom got laid off of work after years of employment, more than a year ago, and all she does is sit on the couch and watch TV. (She applies for jobs and stuff too but she isn’t finding anything, I mean when she isn’t looking for jobs, that is all she does it watch TV). Any ideas on something I could get her so she had something more to look forward to each day than her soap operas?

How do I get out of a lease I can no longer afford to pay? I got laid off from my job so i have to move.?
Question by rere35548: How do I get out of a lease I can no longer afford to pay? I got laid off from my job so i have to move.?
I got laid off indefenitely and the landlord says because the lease is not expired when I move I will owe 2 months rent plus they are going to keep my deposit. I don’t have the money to pay this. Is there any way I can get out of this. I am going to be moving about 65 miles north of here.

Answer by acermill
It is not the landlord’s fault nor problem that you lost your job and must move. You have a legal binding contract with the landlord, and can be expected to honor it. Two months rent plus loss of deposit is a very typical penalty for early lease termination.
Consider FINDING a way to pay this penalty, since you are going to need a landlord reference when you move. Guess what happens if you do not leave your current residence on good terms ?

Are there circumstances where I might not receive severance if I am laid off?
Question by Nicole: Are there circumstances where I might not receive severance if I am laid off?
I work in the mortgage industry and as we all know it’s not doing too well right now. The company I work for announced some big 3Q losses this week. I survived a big layoff in August and since then I thought my job was safe. Now with this announcement I’m not so sure anymore. Right now with my personal financial situation I think the only way I could keep my head above water if I were laid off is if I relied on severence pay. I highly doubt the company is going to go belly up any time soon, but with the financial situation the company is in, should I have to worry that I would not receive severence pay?

Answer by Lori S
Employers are not required to give terminated employees severance pay. Usually it is given to employees with a long service record and exemplary performance. I don’t know how long you have been with the company or what your level of service has been, but given the industry and high level of turnover, I wouldn’t count on severance pay.
