Unemployment Insurance
If you lose your job (but not if you quit, though there are exceptions) you may be entitled to unemployment benefits if you have worked more than a certain minimum number of months. To collect unemployment benefits, you'll have to visit the government unemployment office, often stand in long lines, fill out forms and answer questions about your search for a new job. The rules relating to how long you will receive unemployment benefits change frequently with the national employment situation. Your company personnel department or the government unemployment office will be able to answer your questions. Next Section: The Underground Economy Making a Living: Chapter Home
