“LSGMI helped me get unemployment compensation to support my family after I lost my job.”
After working for the same employer for many years, Ms. Lumbi lost her job. Yet when she applied for unemployment compensation benefits, her claim was denied because the agency records showed that she had not earned any wages. Her LSGMI attorney appealed the denial, and proved that Ms. Lumbi’s employer had incorrectly failed to report her earnings to the State as employment wages. The appeals referee reversed the decision and found Ms. Lumbi to be monetarily eligible for unemployment compensation. As a result of our efforts, Ms. Lumbi will receive $11,327 in retroactive and ongoing benefits to support her and her daughter while she seeks other employment.
