Hello everyone. I had a question regarding UI. I always like to have backup plans. I've been reading about people filing new claims based on the "lag period." I just want to make sure I understand correctly. If you exhausted your benefits and you had at least $1300 in the lag quarter, you need to earn at least $225 in W2 wages during the benefit period to qualify for a new claim based on the lag quarter? I hope I don't have to use up all my benefits. Would rather go back to work.
You have earnings Jan 1 to 4/25 to build a claim on lag wages.
You have to earn $1,300 in ONE quarter from 4/26 until the date your claim expires approx. 4/23/20 or you have to earn $900 in one quarter and $225 in a second quarter. It's too much math to try to do the second method. Just try to get $1,300 in NEW wages and a new qualifying separation in one quarter if you want a 2nd-year claim. I only recommend Christmas help, and you're a perfect candidate for that because it usually earns enough, comes with a clean separation, and is unlikely to become your new career.
