For the past month I have worked only 2 days. I am an employee of this company but I work from home. I have e-mailed and called every few days to ask if there is anything only to be told that they will let me know after the next meeting. Any ideas on what could be going on here?
Based on your lack of information, I can only guess that they either don't have any work for you or don't want you do do what work they do have. Find something else.
I probably will have to start looking. I've never been job hunting before and the prospect is quite daunting, especially in times like this when so many others are looking. I'm an older person who has only had two jobs. One for over twenty years and then this one for five.
Over the last weeks they have reassured me that I still have a job but I had to turn in a time sheet with zero hours. The whole thing just seems really odd. I will soon run out of saved money.

There just keep you hanging on, look for a new job, don't tell them anything until you have secured a new job,
Behind the scenes rest assure they are documenting things, and trying to scheme up ways to entice you to do wrong, so they can fire you and ********* out of UI also..
If this is a W2 job I think you should apply for unemployment. Sounds to me like you've got a work slow down and you might possibly receive benefits for that.
I would not stand for this type of treatment. Either you have a job there, or you don't.
I would go into the office, if its in the vicinity, and speak to someone, either your supervisor, a colleague, or the HR person. Let them know you are not going to put up with this "we will get back to you" stuff. Make them either fire you, lay you off, or give you work.
This happened to me with a contract position. They gave me WAY less work than they'd said when I signed on. I put it on my resume as my current position, not mentioning the lack of actual work. I got a new job soon enough and could leave that one behind.
You should file for unemployment. Unemployment will pay for reduced hours. In the mean time, it's time to look elsewhere.
