Did you receive a paycheck?  If yes, you should be able to.  If not you will be in for a fight based on legal mumbo jumbo and probably won't get it.  If you didn't get a paycheck you could always call the unemp office and talk to a supervisor.  Wouldn't hurt anything....

Go to the Washington state website, dept of labor (or something similar). It'll give you the requirements. If your employment ends, and you did not quit or were fired for cause, and you have enough work history, you should be eligible. UEI varies from state to state, but the website should have the info.

You should have no problem collecting.  Just don't violate any company policy such as "no call, no show" for three days in a row.  Make them go through the whole process of letting you go.   Hopefully you will pass, though!  Good luck

The issue may be they don't give you a paycheck before you pass the core sometimes.  So you are all saying it is that easy to get unemployment without a history of being paid?  Very surprised.

Your union buddies should be able to help you with your questions...

The way I understood her question, she has been working at Hanford for two years and now her re-cert test is here.
