<prompt> Human: USA - OhioI have spent the past year or so working as a home healthcare worker. I care for a older man with dementia. I am paid weekly. They own a small business, so they already had a payroll company in which to process my checks. The checks are coming directly from the family that employs me. This family I work for is wealthy.I was called up last Saturday and told that they no longer needed. The man I cared for has slowly gone downhill in recent months. I didnt have any prior experience with dementia patients when I began. They said they felt, as did the primary doctor, that he needed someone with more experience. Its a reasonable thought.The person calling me was my supervisor. She is a family friend that handles all hiringfiringscheduling ect. The gentleman has 247 care. She said I did a good job, and that it wasnt my fault. Simply put, they felt they needed someone with more experience, of whom they had found a guy with considerable experience. Fine.What really threw me off was that I wasnt given any notice. I was scheduled to sign a 1 year apartment lease the day I got the call. I did sign it. I have some cash saved up, but it just was so disappointing to get let go with zero notice. They did say they would give me two weeks pay extra. The first paycheck should be deposited early Friday morning a few hours from now.I told a couple of my friends, as well as my girlfriends mom who has experience with the unemployment process. Everyone has told me to file for unemployment. Everyone. I assume if I do this, the family will be notified? And since theres only a few employees caring for the man, I assume this claim would be paid out by the family? I assume they will fight it?What should I do? File? Leave it be and walk away? I feel so conflicted and miserable about this whole situation.  <response>: File. You sold them your labor. They were fully aware of the rules of the labor market when they became an employer. You paid into unemployment insurance.
