Default Texas Unemployment question.

Hello. I work in a hospital IT department as a "Per Diem" or as needed employee. My question is if I get fired, will I be able to draw unemployment? I am not really part time since I get absolutely no benefits, but I am not 100% sure if I am entitled to unemployment. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you and have a good week.

Default Unemployment

When you say that you are "per deim", are you saying that you are an independent contractor, rather than a true employee? If so, you are not eligible for unemployment. If you are an employee, then you are eligible for unemployment only if you earned sufficient wages (and the reason for your termination qualifies).

You can read about unemployment at: http://www.twc.state.tx.us/ui/bnfts/...1.html#qualify
