Do you mean you’re taking the LOA and know, as in verified you’ll qualify for unemployment? Or- you mean you’re staying, have less than 20 hours and collect partial on that ( which is sure-) the LOA I feel is dubious as it’s being reported as Involuntary loss of hours due to biz conditions but how do we know until we apply that it isn’t still perceived as a ‘choice’ which it is, albeit a a forced hand kinda choice.

you can get partial unemployment when you choose option 1?

im staying. luckily im one of the few shifts at my store who can work anything so i hopefully well get some hours. luckily my boyfriend and my mom are both willing to help me with bills for a short time till everything goes back to normal. but if this goes over past summertime ill probably have to look for a new job or atleast a second one.

I'm in similar circumstances & will more than likely be doing the same. Much remains uncertain but seems a decently safe decision.
