celeste17ParticipantHi all,
I am going to have to be home for a few weeks to help my Mom recover from Surgery and complications that followed. Because I will technically not be able to work I don’t feel I can claim unemployment. Does anyone know of a legitimate way to work from home and make some money? Thank You

JenVMemberWouldn’t FMLA (Family Medical Leave Act) cover this?

celeste17ParticipantI haven’t been working since August to have FMLA cover it. And isn’t FMLA unpaid leave?

JenVMemberI thought a certain portion of FMLA would be paid. It sounds like this doesn’t qualify for you, though.
You might look into transcription services for law offices, I know they send that out- and that would be something easily done at home.
Best of luck to you and your mom.

JustSarahParticipantMost legitimate work-at-home opportunities result from working for a company for long enough that they feel they can trust an employee to work remotely. Others are skilled people who start their own businesses, or freelance – writing, editing, consulting. Be wary of advertised opportunities. It is possible to make money taking online surveys by signing up with a company, but it’s a *very* small income supplement; I get about 4 per month from a company that pays me $5.00 each.
