Oklahoma Employment Commission Benefits?
Question by Melissa S: Oklahoma Employment Commission Benefits?
I was terminated for not showing up for work. I was a supervisor/juvenile detention officer and was battling a drug addiction to prescription pills after a long medical history of chronic pain. I was attempting to detox myself and was not having any success. I have just left the rehab program 3 months later. My finances are in ruin as my husband depended on my income to make ends meet. I have been home two weeks and no job yet, mostly because we live in a tiny town where rumors tend to fly and being that I am fresh from rehab and no one knew I had a problem. Is there any hope in me receiving unemployment benefits until I can find a job? Is it worth my time? What are the laws about this?

Unemployment benefits are for those who lose their job due to no fault or action of their own. In this case, you not showing up for work caused the termination. Personal reasons are not considered in the evaluation process. If your employer contests your application, you will very likely be denied. However, there is no harm in making your application, and seeing what happens. Just don’t count on the benefits.
