When he first returned from his world trip, he did not think that he was eligible for unemployment, as it had been a year since he had worked....so he went in to the unemployment office, because someone told him he was still eligible and he filled out all the papers, and sure enough, so long as he was looking for work, his previous time having been employed, entitled him to unemployment compensation.....

So he commenced to looking for a regular, steady job and there were not many available in the Seattle area....so he kept looking and kept collecting his unemployment....then when he got a contract job, he would inform unemployment that he was employed and his unemployment compensation stopped....

When the contract job was complete and he was paid, he then reported this to the unemployment bureau...and after a particular waiting time frame, if he had not found another job, he was again deemed eligible for unemployment....

So he has been diligent about always keeping unemployment office informed as to whether or not he is gainfully employed or not....when he has a contract job, which lasts only a set amt of time, and when that job ends, he is again considered unemployed...so long as he is unemployed, and is looking for work, and has not reached the dollar maximum set forth by unemployment, he is still considered eligible for unemployment benefits....
