Unemployment Compensation
If you become unemployed through no fault of your own, you may be eligible for unemployment compensation benefits from the State of Indiana. If you leave a job because of threats, unsafe working conditions, harassment, discrimination, or substantial changes in your working conditions, you may still qualify for unemployment benefits. On the other hand, if you voluntarily quit, or you are fired for misconduct, you may lose your eligibility for unemployment benefits.
If your employer challenges your claim for unemployment compensation, you have a right to a hearing before an administrative law judge who will determine if you are eligible for benefits.
The lawyers at Maurer Rifkin & Hill can assist you in all aspects of your unemployment claim before the Indiana Department of Workforce Development, and will appear with you at a hearing before an administrative law judge if your claim is initially denied.”
