I work for a greenhouse and my boss continuously gives me days at a time off after guaranteeing me 40 hours, it started with a few days here and there but then it was a full week because there wasn't any work. Last night she texted me and said she is laying everyone off due to lack of work for at least another week or two and told me to file for unemployment. Here's the issue I see with that, it's seasonal work, we only work there 4 months out of the year and so far it has only been two, from my knowledge you have to work 18 weeks in the same company to file for unemployment. Would I be eligible to receive benefits while I'm out of work because of this or what can I do? Obviously I am looking for other work opprotunities in the mean time but this was sudden and unexpected and at no fault to my own. is there any options for me?
