The 2011 Super Outbreak is regarded as the deadliest tornado outbreak in recorded history. The outbreak wrecked havoc from April 25 to the 28th throughout Southern United States killing over 330 people and over $10 billion in material damages. Add to this that we have just been through a financial crisis we have not witnessed since the Great Depression and you can see why many Mississippians may feel it hasn’t been the best year. The situation is especially dire for workers who have lost their jobs or are no longer able to do business because of natural or economic disasters.
The State of Mississippi has taken measures to fight both problems, the material and employment issues, through a statewide Temporary Recovery Workforce Jobs program. The program is designed to assist unemployed and underemployed workers find employment and help with the recovery efforts.
You file for benefits and are accepted as eligible for Unemployment Insurance benefits which is a relief as it will help towards expenses until you can find another job. Every week you file a claim you receive a check. Is that all there is to it? Are there any details which you should be informed about?
Probably you would appreciate being in the know about such things as the Eligibility Reviews which periodically are scheduled. The Eligibility Review is in effect a personal interview at your local office. You will find a message printed on your claim giving you the day and time of the interview. You cannot process this claim for payment until after the interview so you should not mail the claim. You should answer the Eligibility Review Questions therein but wait until you are instructed by the claims office interviewer to sign the mail claim. You will be required to show that you have searched for work in at least three places in order to continue to qualify for benefits. Your claim could be affected if you failed to keep your appointment for the Eligibility Review. Another important step is to register with the WIN Job Center even if you are registered with a union or a private employment center. Your eligibility for benefits would be affected if you did not register for work at the WIN Job Center.
