I was employed with an agency for about 6 months and then was laid off in March. I was able to get unemployment, no problem - the agency had laid off 9% of their staff. A few weeks later, they got a ton of work in and asked me to come back for a 2-month contract. At that time, I had only received 1 week's worth of unemployment. The 2 month contract came and went, and I had decided not to renew the contract. The type of clients I was hired for last year, were not the same type of clients I was working with on the contract it wasn't working out - so I finished the contract and we went our separate ways. I was able to re-open my unemployment claim this week and it looks like my payment went through. My question is, is there any reason why my former employer would try and contest this?
