Question Posted Thursday September 17 2009, 10:15 pm
My boyfriend has collected California unemployment for the last 6 months after being laid off and it recently ended. He got something in the mail asking if he wanted to continue his claim. Thing is, he is starting his own business with a friend and just getting it together. It will obviously take time to build clientele and acquire all the necessary supplies and such. He has done two small jobs already. They have not gotten a business license yet. My question is, can he not continue to receive unemployment benefits because he now has started his own business? even though they will not make more than 0-200 dollars a month until things get going or perhaps even not pan out and they have to give up? We do not know how to go about this, anything helps thanks

He should probably call the unemployment office & explain the situation & his concerns, & they can tell you more. [ Trauma's advice column | Ask Trauma A Question ]
