I have been off for 3 weeks and tried to return to work. Because of my asthma I can not wear a face mask as required. I do not see it lifting anytime soon. Would it be best to file unemployment instead. I do not want to have hardship because of this. What is my best option

If you apply for disability benefits you may or may not qualify and it can often take upwards of 18+ months to receive a final decision.  Your medical history and ability to work or NOT will directly impact your decision on this.  Can I work or not...    If you apply for unemployment insurance you may be eligible and receive income immediately.  It comes down to personal preference...   Attorney Scott Bocchio Legal Rights Advocates P 855-254-7841 www.legalrightsadvocates.com
