I am currently on unemployment right because I got laid off. Well I have been doing my best to get a new job-and have taken freelance jobs. I do anywhere from 4-15 hours of freelance work every week. Well I am being "investigated" right now because of this. I completely understand- they want to make sure that people are not working full time and still collecting unemployment. I let them know each week how much I am working and as a result I get a fraction of what I would get if I was not working at all. Again- I see this is as fair.
What is NOT fair is while they look into my case, they are not giving me any unemployment insurance- for 3 weeks minimum. How the fuck am I supposed to pay my rent?! Why am I being punished for trying to work any way I can?
