What happens to the small business owner after he sells the business and his employees collect thier unemployment benifits. Is the former business owner charged for the unemployment benifits that were collected or is his obligation over when he sells the business?

I live in Illinois and was denied and extenstension of benefits. To qualify in IL "You must have total base periiod wages with respect to your most recent benefit year equal to or greater than 1-1/2 times your highest quarter of wages during your base period." I am a consultant and work on an hourly basis. Because of this, my wages can become skewed to show that I earned the bulk of my earnings in one quarter, rather than spread out over two or three.

Do other states have this requirement? I have not seen it on other state's web sites. It was explained to me that this was the federal government's policy and that I was one of just a handful of people caught by this policy. In my case I was denied because I made $300 more than I should have in one quarter. (I should have taken some downtime that quarter) It just seems so arbitrary. People are trying to make a living and stay off of unemployment and they still can get penalized. You would think this rule would at least be tied to some maximum earnings level. I was just trying to work as many hours as I could, when the work was available to me.

Forward we move, into the future, substantiated by the past, how is our foundation?

looking at this, is our history, born from what our forefathers intended, a legacy of diversity in richness and development.

Examining each detail, it is all recorded, ready for inspection.

Determined that there is much to be learned from history, one finds a way to suit what is discovered from the past, to glorify it for the present.

At a loss of the certainty of how it will work, we give it our best effort.

Preserved in the past, lessons may be repeated till we find what works for the day.
Promised to keep good effort, the destination of the compilation is released in good faith.

Only what works is pursued, keeping in mind the responsibility we have to one another.

Discovered that what is now established, is to be given wings and the opportunity to birth the desired results.

Along the treacherous path, this new package is destine to encounter foe.

From a natural division in a societies beliefs’, persuasion targets each other.

If only there was a total consensus, though, we are not machines, the greater the support stronger the foundation.

Borrowed from days gone by, is the sense, of greater possibility for success.

Our history has made us what we are today.

We have learned, we have a responsibility to our future.

Without our best effort and working together as much as possible, come the increased chance to have a repeat occurrence.

There are checks and balances along the way, securing the dream will come true.

Allow yourself to be part of the process, it creates better opportunity for the greater good.
