    Is my wife eligible for unemployement if she has only voluntered in the last 6 months
    Hi
    My question is can my wife get unemployement. She quit working at the company she was working at to take care of my grandmother as she got sick. She did not get paid but volunteered. Now she needs a job because we have no money and she now can't get a job because of this economy. Is she eligible for unemployement or anything. Thanks

    Unfortunately she is not eligible for unemployment if she quit a job. Volunteers are not eligible for unemployment either.

    Sorry no, first if she had a paying job and still quit, she would not get to.
    But since it was a non paid job, no there would be no unemployment paid in.

    Unemployment benefits is a "insurnace" that the company you work for pays in. So you have to be paid and be covered to get benefits.

    If you are very low income, have she looked into welfare

    I don't know if that would work since we are married and I make about 50,000 a year. Is there a yearly income you have to meet
