Question Presented (AI Summary)

Can unemployment insurance benefits be denied to persons whose employment is terminated through no fault of their own?

Question Presented (OCR Extract)

QUESTIONS PRESENTED There are six questions that are presented and posed to the Supreme Court of the United States in this Petition for Writ of Certiorari: 1. Can unemployment insurance benefits be denied to persons whose employment is terminated through no fault of their own, whether or not they meet some minimum wages earned or hours worked? Should there be laws against an employer intentionally reducing an employee’s work hours, such that they do not qualify for benefits? Are employees who are terminated through no fault of their own entitled to the minimum weekly benefit amount or State equivalent? 2. Similarly to the strict laws against price gouging vulnerable people in the . aftermath of a natural disaster, should there be laws against the denial of unemployment insurance benefits during and in the immediate aftermath of a pandemic? 3. What actions constitute abuse of sovereign immunity? Regardless of whether sovereign immunity is retained, what remedy should the court provide? 4, Should Proof of Service documents be officially filed with the clerk of court before any other action takes place, including the determination of jurisdiction? If not, then at what point in an ongoing lawsuit, where motions, orders, and other actions are concurrently being filed, should it be mandatory that Proof of Service documents be officially filed? 5. Do modern times and consideration of another pandemic dictate that service upon an attorney’s court-registered email address via the opposing attorney’s (or pro se) court-registered email address be considered a universally valid method for service of court documents? 6. Similar to the federal circuit court of appeals, should all state court of appeals automatically accept an Application to Proceed In Forma Pauperis that has been granted in the state trial court? Should the form for the Application to Proceed In Forma Pauperis be from the state court of appeals? . ii
