Donna worked as a freelance copywriter. She was a work at home mom, so she couldn’t work in a real office at a real job until her kids were old enough to be left alone with a babysitter. She debated the merits of apply for unemployment benefits freelance workers don’t usually apply for. The reason why she wanted to go on unemployment was because she was not making enough money as a freelance copywriter. There were times when she wouldn’t have any clients and therefore, no income. If she kept it up she wouldn’t be able to pay the mortgage on her home or put her kids through school. She needed extra assistance, as soon as possible. So, taking her chances, she went down to the unemployment office and filed an application.
