I have a question regarding unemployment benefits. I formerly worked for a company in MA. I am being denied UE benefits by the state of MA b/c of what they claim was left for personal reasons. ( this is not true) I was on a medical leave. I do not know if I need to obtain legal representation in MA or CA.
My health was being severely compromised and my job entails a lot of customer service and using a computer keyboard . My employer would not make special circumstances for me. It was all or nothing. I was seeing the doctor almost every month. Finally, I had to go on medical leave to see if these would dissipate and get better. My husband brought me to CA to spend time with family and I have been here ever since. We had a home in MA, which has since been sold, so we are virtually left w/o a residence. We call CA home right now.
The stipulation for return from a medical leave is that you need to see the doctor upon your return. Since I am here, I cannot do that. My question is this? Do I need to obtain legal representation here in CA or in MA? This is all new to me so I do not know what recourse I have. I have always been upfront with this company. I have never lied about my situation but now feel penalized b/c I have been denied ue benefits, which I feel I should have gotten.
