disqualified for unemployment insurance
I live in Arizona.
I have a telephone hearing scheduled to appeal the disqualification of my unemployment insurance. On my weekly telephone unemployment claim, I reported that I left a temp agency assignment after 30 minutes. I was denied unemployment assistance because of this. The assignment might have involved heavy work and I have a problem with my left knee. In addition, the agency did not accurately describe the job description.
I actually abandoned two temp assignments that same reporting week. But I only reported one of them on both the weekly automated phone claim, and the phone conversation I had with an unemployment office representative. I left the other assignment because I was switched to another job title the morning I walked in. Again, the agency was not completely truthful about the job description. After two days I found the job mentioned in first paragaph ( which did not work out either) and did not return.
The hearing judge may ask me why I did not report the other assignment. I guess I would reply by saying I did not want to complicate the claim any further. By following through with the telephone hearing will I open myself up to prosecution or be penalized for not reporting the other abandoned assignment?
I have not received a dime of unemployment funds yet. I was also paid a month later on the two day assignment after I filed a wage claim with labor department.
I am working now.
Thanks
