<prompt> Human: Update: Message received I didnt understand unemployment. As you guessed, pretty young and consistently working so Ive never had to go through that. Either way, Texas does recognize quitting for health reasons like rehab, so not totally off base. Thanks everyone!Im going to start filing an appeal for TX unemployment.I filed for unemployment in 11112 and was unemployed for two weeks. I started the unemployment process because I moved from TX to San Diego to go to rehab for alcoholism. I can document that.The job I received only gave me 30 hours a week in San Diego where the cost of living is higher and wasnt enough to live so I intended on receiving partial unemployment. I was told I had to make in total 20,000 by 08113 in order to receive my benefits and if I dont, my benefits go away. During that time, I received a new position as a full-time contractor.I still kept in mind that they told me I had to fulfill XYZ to get my benefits or all of the funds go away. So now my expiration date to file an appeal or unemployment was last week on 92313. I have to explain why I wasnt able to take care of it 14 days before. I was traveling from San Diego to my new state of residence, DE from 91313 - 92813 by land in a car. I feel like all of this is substantial enough to get my funds. I wouldnt care if it were a small amount of money, but were talking about 40k which I would like to eventually use for possible future unfortunate circumstances if I were to eventually become unemployed. I busted my butt for 1.5 years and would like to have that money in my possession when I retire or become unemployed. 40k was the total balance that I would have received over the course of unemployment and I was told all of that is gone now unless I appeal.ADVICE would be much appreciated!  <response>: I dont get it. You quit your job, were unemployed for 2 weeks, and believed you are owed 40k for partial unemployment because of what?Also, it took you 2 weeks to complete 40 hours of driving time?Better get a really really good lawyer.
