Notice To Employees — Unemployment Benefits
TOTAL

UNEMPLOYMENT

You are considered totally unemployed during any week in which you
are totally separated from your employment, performing no services for
which wages or other remuneration were paid to you.
You must file your initial claim for total unemployment in person. Since a claim
for unemployment compensation is effective the Sunday of the week in which
it is filed, you should file your claim immediately after you are separated from
your employment. You will be instructed on filing your continued claim. Your
options for filing continued claims will include telephone or web filing.

PARTIAL

UNEMPLOYMENT

You would be considered partially unemployed if you have been working
full- time, but due to business being slow, a breakdown of equipment, or
similar reasons, your employer has to reduce your hours during the week.
You may be entitled to partial unemployment benefits during this week if
you earned less than what your weekly unemployment benefit amount
would be plus $60. Under these conditions, your employer should issue
a Low Earnings Report for the week, showing your gross wages. You
must complete the claims portion of the Low Earnings Report and file it with
the local unemployment office as directed on the form.

ELIGIBILITY

REQUIREMENTS

To be monetarily eligible to receive unemployment benefits you must have earned
$2200 gross wages in covered employment during two or more calendar
quarters of your regular base period (first four of the last five completed calendar
quarters) or alternative base period (the last four quarters immediately preceding the
first day of the individual’s benefit year).

ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS - OTHER

• You have made a claim for benefits at a local unemployment office.
• You have registered for work with the Job Service Office and continue to report

prior training or experience.
• You are actively seeking full-time work by completing four (4) work search
activities each week.
• You are documenting and retaining proof of your four (4) work search activities
and providing them to WorkForce WV upon request by the agency.
• You have filed for and served a waiting period of one week during your benefit
year.
• You have earned gross wages of less than your weekly benefit amount plus $60
during the week for which you claim benefits.

• You requalify on a new claim when you had a previous benefit year (must
have earned eight times your old weekly benefit amount in covered
employment after the beginning of your previous claim).
• You must participate in profiling and reemployment services when selected.

service agency, for any week of unemployment which commences

academic year or term or prior to the beginning of a holiday or vacation
period and there is a contract or a reasonable assurance that you will
perform services in the second academic year or term or after a
holiday or vacation period. (EXCEPTION: If you have sufficient
nonschool wages in your base period to qualify for benefits based
upon the non-school wages only, you may be entitled to benefits
during this period.)
9. For any week on the basis of services performed as an alien, unless
you are lawfully residing in the United States and have a valid permit
to work.
10. If you leave work voluntarily to attend school or other educational
institution, or are waiting to enter school or an educational institution.
11. For each week in which you are unemployed because of your request
or that of your duly-authorized agent for a vacation at a specified time
that leaves your employer no other alternative but to suspend
operations.
12. For the week in which you receive any annuity, pension, or other

retirement pay from a base period employer, or from a fund towards
which a base period employer has contributed. If your remuneration is
less than the unemployment benefits otherwise due you, your
unemployment benefits will be reduced by the amount of your annuity,
pension, etc.
