Unemployment Compensation

questions & answers

Question: I had heard that if you receive 3 consecutive days off (of your scheduled 5 days), you can qualify for Unemployment Compensation. I am a full time employee and am averaging 1-2 days a week. Can I qualify?

Answer:

In Arizona, the Department of Economic Security (DES) manages unemployment insurance benefits. You may want to review the article on this site titled "Unemployment Compensation." This article will link you to the DES eligibility criteria listed on the DES website. You may also want to review the Guide to Unemployment Insurance Arizona Benefits, a document linked on the bottom of that article.
