Who is Unemployment Guru?

Unemployment Guru is the premier online one-stop resource for all your unemployment needs and questions.  We understand that unemployment benefit programs are very complicated.  At times, it requires more than just applying for benefits and hoping the benefit payments you receive will financially carry you until you land your next job.  Within the maze of unemployment insurance issues, codes and guidelines established by your State and Federal Labor Department, determining eligibility for benefits can be very confusing.  Having the right knowledge can keep you from experiencing the worst case scenario.  For a claimant (the person filing for unemployment), getting disqualified or denied for unemployment benefits.  For an employer, having your reserve account charged while a former employee is able to collect the benefits that you do not agree with.  Our goal is to provide you the answers and insight about unemployment benefits, and the process, to avoid that worst case scenario.

Many people do not realize how unemployment benefit programs work.  An individual may or may not realize they have the right to open a claim and the process can be confusing once a claim is filed.  The questions after filing a claim are:

2) How long will I receive my unemployment benefits for?

3) What if my employer protest my benefits?

4) How do I appeal if I am disqualified or denied for benefits?

Those that have been through this before can take some comfort in knowing these answers.  However, for many people during this period where unemployment is approximately 10%, it could be nerve-wrecking and intimidating.  They don’t know if they will be able to receive benefits to keep paying their bills, keep their mortgage, and place food on the table.

At Unemployment Guru, we created this site with you in mind, taking into consideration where the U.S. economy and labor market is currently and where it is going.  The job market is very tight with few new job opportunities.  Anyone who is unemployed knows firsthand how difficult it is to land a job.  Unemployment Guru strives to provide all the answers to your questions, assist you with collecting unemployment benefits, provide community support, legal resources, expert advice, new skills training program information, and landing that new job.
