“Jean” had worked at the same job happily for forty years. Recently she got a new supervisor who took a dislike to her, who began writing Jean up for minor things and blaming her for circumstances beyond her control. When the number of write ups reached a certain threshold, Jean was fired.
Jean filed for unemployment, but was rejected. Her employer argued that she was fired for misconduct and therefore ineligible, and the Unemployment Insurance Agency took the same position. Suddenly without income, Jean was forced to claim her social security early—and suffer the penalties for doing so.
So Jean turned to us for legal help and we filed an appeal. Jean was able to testify and present the evidence that she was indeed eligible for unemployment. When the judge’s decision came though, Jean had won: her unemployment benefits were finally approved!
