I worked at a full-time job for over a year. I did no freelance work at this time. I then got laid off. I filed for unemployment but have not collected--I would need to call in. Right after filing, I was offered some freelance work that I did at home over a period of about 2 weeks. I billed for several thousand dollars. Now the work is over. Can I still collect unemployment or have I somehow disqualified myself?

Freelance work is still considered employment I believe, and as you pay taxes on it, I'm guessing it would make you ineligible for unemployment... Call the unemployment office and ask, to be sure.

My job fired me but told unemployment that I quit will get my benefits

I'm a self employed carpenter in savannah Ga. Have been in business for 15 years and I will be going out of business soon, I have been paying my estimated taxes every 3 months. Am I eligible for unemployment.
And how do I go about collecting.
