Securing Benefits for an Older Man

At age 60, Andy had spent years building a steady career as a truck driver. When his employer began assigning him lower-paying routes, his income took an unexpected hit. Matters worsened when he was terminated after declining a weekend shift, putting his financial security at serious risk. Andy applied for unemployment benefits, but his employer contested the claim, arguing that he had voluntarily quit. Unsure how to respond, Andy turned to Legal Aid for help. At the hearing, the attorney demonstrated that Andy had followed the terms of his job and had not abandoned his position. The judge agreed, ruling that Andy was entitled to unemployment benefits.
