I have been working for NUMMI in Fremont CA for 15 years and never had to use disability, workmens comp,or anything else since i’ve been there. I was injured last year and required knee surgery in march of 09. I will probably go back to work the end of July. Nummi might close in August. Will I be able to get unemployment if I get laid off being that i’ve been off work for the last 4 months?

Hi DC,

Yes.
