I hope someone can answer this...I was laid off from my job of 3.5 years on Aug 31st. I filed for unemployment, was approved. I found a job and started Sept 10th, so I did not need unemployment and did not collect. Now, my new job is talking layoffs. In Washington state, they say you need to have worked 680 hours to claim. It also says that unemployment is based on Calendar year. So, do I have to work the 680 at the new job or can I re-open my unemployment claim since I am still in the calendar year? I am confused and in a panic. I wont be at 680 hours for another week. Please anyone?
