RE: Two jobs and seeking a third

Sorry to hear you were “furloughed partially” it’s interesting that in Finland there is a distinction between citizens. Here in the States as long as your a legal immigrant and your an employee, your employer pays unemployment taxes, which provides a benefit to all fired workers. I think it’s around 66% of your working salary up to a maximum amount per week. You can stay on it up to 52 weeks. But must look for work and submit names and numbers online where you applied and interviewed.

A partial furlough sounds partially good. My daughter got an indefinite furlough. Definately bad.

Last time I was laid off from one job while I still had a part time job the government here paid me partial benefits. I wish when I went back to work I could pay partial taxes. But it didn’t work out that way.

Hang in there.

There might it be, it could also be that the person on the line didn't understand permanent residency. I am guessing there are a lot of new people working there at this time.

I'm Finland there is 400 days, which I think is working days. The names and numbers are needed here too I think - I will fund out soon :)

... Partial taxes would be nice.
