Could someone tell me if my wages from job A should be used in my unemployment calculation? (Colorado)
Here’s the situation
- 5 months ago, I quit a job (A) to start a new one (B)
- recently, job B laid me off. Hence why I am filing for unemployment
- I was approved, and received 1 check based on my wages from both job A and B
- Then, i got a new determination that Job As wages don’t count since I quit that job (which I quit to immediately start job B)
- because the standard base period looks back 1+ quarters, job Bs wages also don’t amount to much (2 weeks wages, enough that my 1 pay check received has already used up all my eligible allowance)
Should my wages from job A be used to calculate my benefit? It seems really odd to me that the system is designed so that you can’t get unemployment if a new company lays you off.
