So I quit my job not to long ago because my boss was 2 months behind paying me and I couldn't find another job while being there but its been ruff finding one. So can I file for unemployment for my reason for leaving? Also I worked there for 2 years idk if that means anything though.

FILE, TODAY!
If what you are saying is true, you should almost guaranteed get it!
It may take a while, and you may(probably) go throught a grievance process, but it SHOULD pay off, with backpay!
FOLLOW THROUGHT on this, and let us know how it goes, get the unemployment office on the phone AS SOON as they open today, if not, it will be hard to get throught, cause this country is in such a fucked up mess, and so many are laid oFf!

Yeah I don't know how it is for you guys, but anytime I quit/got fired/became eligible for welfare payments I applied literally the next day for payments without fail. Even if I was looking for a new job, or even had interviews lined up. It's just contingency planning.
Out here it takes a few weeks to process but they would always back pay from the day of entitlement.

All depends on where you live, some states if you don't file in a certain amount of time, you lose your unemployment!

Thanks guys this is the first time I've done unemployment so hopefully I can get it. Ya I heard about selling plasma just never looked into it when I hit these bumps in the road I craigslist hustle anything I can find and I make decent money at it but it can turn into a head ache real quick.

yeah man, DEFINATELY do apply, I do not think this applies when you are working, and not getting paid for it, that's called slavery!

If he wasn't paid for 2 months he might get it. It's not the same as quitting.

I had a job when I was younger and I left because I wasn't paid for 6 weeks. The state unemployment board or whatever deemed it acceptable to receive benefits. This was somewhere around 13 years ago so it's a foggy memory but it was deemed something similar to termination since the business folded or some such. I got a job maybe a few months later but the money helped when I finally got it.

How did you prove that you were working and that you didn't get paid?
By the way, that is a much bigger issue than unemployment benefits. The employer could go to jail. Should go to jail.

All I recall were company punch cards, timesheets, paystubs. Maybe they looked into how his business folded, I've no idea, it was almost half my life ago.
I had an employer out here in Minnesota that did the same thing. He got fined 500,000 but was also operating without a contractors license, operating without a PLT license, and tax evasion. His wife lost her chiropractor business. I went to collect a few jobs' worth of pay and his house was abandoned. I only found this info out googling his name. No idea whatever happened to him or if they caught him, just what the town clerk's minutes were during a meeting. Greater than 50 counts of whatever but not to exceed 500k in fines. We weren't even that big of a dish installation crew (direct, dish, wildblue, hughesnet) and there were 7 of us.
