Unemployed Canadian (TN-1) refused in California
I'm wondering if anyone might have any ideas.
My former employer stopped paying me with checks that included deductions in April. When I questioned this, I was told "it was to save money." I wasn't paid on June 1. I went to a meeting on June 4, where the owners told me that everything I had received since April was a loan, and that I had to sign over the collateral in my home before they would give me my paycheck! I reported them to the IRS & Payroll Tax Fraud.
I called a lawyer that evening, and resigned the next day. I took them to court and won, allowing me to freeze the awarded assets until the final trial.
I was told by a lawyer friend that I could apply for unemployment benefits. I did, and was at first told I qualified. I just received a letter stating that I was turned down.
Anyone have any experience with this type of problem?
What options do I have?

As long as you are physically in the US you cannot claim UI. You must
be resident in Canada and make an interstate claim.
