Mississippi Unemployment Insurance.
With the rate of unemployment in the state of Mississippi standing at about 9.6 percent, a far cry above the national rates which are about 8.5 percent, the job situation in Mississippi has of course been in better shape than it is now.

Particularly if you’re one of those who has received that pink slip telling you that you’re no longer employed, you’re considering what your alternatives are so far as financial alternatives and finding new employment. There are options for you, fortunately which are offered to you by the Mississippi unemployment offices and the unemployment compensation act, which affords you some means of support until you are reemployed in Mississippi or elsewhere.
The Mississippi Unemployment Insurance Office, properly titled the Mississippi Department of Employment Security has some valuable insight into ways that you might choose to find other job positions, as well as employment outlooks for the state of Mississippi and help in gaining new employment skills.

Your Unemployment Insurance filing in the state of Mississippi can also be accomplished from the Mississippi Unemployment web site, along with appealing a declination in unemployment compensation, or filing for the federal extensions directly from this site.

Unemployment in Mississippi is currently at one of the all time high levels, so taking advantage of any and all means to find yourself new employment or employable skills that will assist you in gaining new employment in your chosen area only makes good sense.
There are various laws that affect your employment or unemployed status in the state of Mississippi with the effect that you are entitled to other things when unemployed in Mississippi along with your unemployment compensation( if your unemployed status is not through fault or misconduct in the workplace) Among the things you may be eligible for  under the federal COBRA laws are a continuation of your health care coverage.
For you to qualify for COBRA  coverage,you must have a qualifying event that has caused you to lose your group health care coverage, but this may include:
      For employees
          * Voluntary or involuntary termination of employment( you may have quit  your job for any reason)  other than gross misconduct
          * Reduction in numbers of hours worked so that you are not able to make ends meet with your current salary
Mississippi has what is called a mini cobra law that is quite similar in nature to the federal COBRA law. Mississippi’s law requires that any employer who employs between two and nineteen employees must offer their employees the COBRA for one year or twelve months from the date of their separation. This does not mean however that they are required to pay for your coverage, but only to extend it to you, with you to cover the costs of the insurance coverage.
Taking advantage of your rights and your responsibilities under the Mississippi unemployment act only makes sense until you are reemployed, so make certain that you file as soon as you are eligible and ask what other benefits you may qualify for when you visit your Mississippi unemployment offices or speak to a qualified representative.
