I live in Michigan and boss told unemployment I quit when actually we talked and agreed to a layoff?

It might be important to know whether or not you were replaced after your termination. If you were not replaced that would support your case that you were laid off. If someone was hired to replace you that would weaken your case.

Agreements between employers and terminated employees are not binding on the UIA. After a terminated employee applies for benefits the employer is sent a questionnaire about the circumstances of the termination. S answers and those of the employee on his application for benefits are what the agency bases its eligibility determinations on.

Not on "agreements" between employees and employers. Based on what you said it sounds to me like you were laid off and should be eligible for benefits. Alternatively you may be eligible because the substantial cuts you experienced strike me as good cause for quitting attributable to your employer.

Sorry for the delay in this reply.

Just make the claim and if he denies it, then appeal. He doesn't get the last word. The state will have a system to deal with it and if you present the story as you have here, chances are you'll be able to collect your benefits.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
