How Can I File for Unemployment Insurance Online?
Georgia Department of Labor is the official site of the Georgia Department of Labor, which oversees the unemployment compensation in the state of Georgia.
You will find a variety of services there, which may benefit you, the job seeker and unemployment claimant in continuing your claim processing, however, Georgia Department of Labor does not permit initial filing for unemployment claims online, and this must be accomplished in one of the offices of the GDL.
How Do I Know If I Qualify?
Determining eligibility depends on several factors but generally follows these guidelines:
If your unemployed status is through displacement, such as economic downturn or downsizing of a company, generally you will be eligible for unemployment compensation, and can file as soon as a few days after you’re released from your employment position.
IF in fact you left the position at which you were employed and the reasons for leaving were not compelling, or were fired or released from your position for some type wrongful conduct, chances are good that you will not be eligible for unemployment compensation in Georgia.
The final say in the eligibility of anyone is the decision of the Georgia Department of Labor.
How Much Will I Receive?
Determining the amount of unemployment you will receive differs slightly from state to state, but a good general rule of thumb is that you determine the eligible quarters of the year in which you worked. The quarter year, or three month period that you worked which had the largest salary, or compensation to you, is the quarter that is used to determine your unemployment compensation amount.
The quarter year with the largest salary is taken and divided by 26. This amount will be an approximation of the amount you will be paid weekly while you claim unemployment benefits.
When Does The First Check Arrive?
As we stated previously, its important to file, even if you have to accomplish a waiting week, as quickly as possible after knowing you are unemployed. The time span in which you will receive your first check varies and can be from two to four weeks. This means, that it will NOT arrive two to four weeks after you become unemployed, but from two to four weeks after you initially file, so filing as quickly as possible is certainly the right move.
