>>As for being disqualified because it's not work related, isn't it discrimination - regardless?

I'm supposing that unemployment benefits are defined to only cover work related stuff... getting fired, quitting if you have a work related issue you can prove... I know if you quit for no reason you can not collect.

I guess they are disqualifying me because as a non-work related illness I should be covered under disability instead... but I already used up all my state temp disability benefits and SSI will take a long time... I went through the application and just getting together the stuff they need is going to take some time and a clear mind that I just don't have right now.

I am planning to go tonight, I'm going to try to eat now. I treated myself for Boston Market after a support group meeting last week, assuming I would start getting unemployment checks this week. At least I have a free pass for the club tonight.
