From part time to Per Diem(Elimination)
My company hired me part time a year ago. Recently the company was sold. The company never lay off an employee. How the get rid of employees is that they "Per Diem" them by eliminating their hours to zero. So that the company doesn't have to pay unemployment. Two of us that are deaf got the "Per Diem". Also the company refused to get us interpreters for monthly mandatory meetings.

If your hours have been eliminated altogether, it's likely worth filing for unemployment and explaining this when you file your claim and/or appeal on this basis.
The failure to provide interpreters may be a failure to provide a reasonable accommodation under the Americans with Disabilities Act but I would need to know more.
