First, you should apply for unemployment benefits immediately, given that you are properly vested to receive benefits. You may apply online at http://nvdetr.org/esd pages/File UI claim .htm, and it takes only about fifteen minutes to do so. If those benefits are denied, you should consult an attorney regarding your right to appeal an unfavorable decision with respect to your benefits. After being denied, you should continue to make your claims on a weekly basis in strict accordance with the instructions provided online by the Employment Security Division. Second, you may also want to discuss the facts of your case with an attorney who regularly practices in the area of unlawful employment discrimination. The facts you have presented in this forum are not complete enough for an attorney to assess the strength of your case. You can call the Nevada State Bar (702-382-4044) for a referral to an attorney who practices in the areas of unlawful employment discrimination and unemployment benefits appeals. If you a referred to an attorney by the Nevada State Bar, your initial consultation fee will be only $45.00.
