Hi all - I'm new here so please bear with me.
On March 9, I lost my job of 8 years. Naturally I immediately applied for unemployment, and was accepted.....*BUT* I made the mistake of being honest with them. When I applied, I told then that I would be returning to school for job training. That puts me into the class of 'not being ready, willing, and able to accept or look for employment'
However, NYS encourages UI receipients to go for job training classes and they extend your benefit period if you do.
