Answer 1

Who qualifies for unemployment benefits?
Only those who have earned sufficient covered wages prior to becoming unemployed will have enough wage credits to potentially qualify for unemployment benefits. It requires a recent history of many weeks of covered employment before an individual qualifies for jobless benefits. In addition to filing a claim and having sufficient wages in covered employment, eligible individuals must generally provide the state unemployment agency with information which shows that they are all of the following:

Unemployed, or have experienced a substantial reduction in hours of work through no fault of their own
Able to work
Available for work
Actively seeking work
Willing to accept any suitable work
The state unemployment agencies look at an unemployed worker's wages during a 52 week base period to determine whether he or she has earned enough to qualify. Most states base eligibility on the wages earned during the first four of the last five completed calendar quarters. If the wages during this period are too low, a growing number of states will look at the last 52 week wage history just prior to the individual's claim filing. The weekly unemployment benefit amount for which a former employee is potentially eligible (the amount of money that may be collected weekly by a claimant) is based upon the amount of earnings reported by all employers during this one-year base period. It is usually not important to know which wages will be used by the state to determine monetary eligibility. However, it is important to understand that it is the employer, and not the worker, who pays for the benefits.

Answer 2

Each state has different unemployment laws. Generally if you are dismissed because you violated a company policy you will be disqualified. If you "did your best" but just couldn't do the job to their satisfaction then you will usually receive unemployment. You need to show that you did your best, preferably that they did not provide you any warning feedback - or if they did - you did "x" to try to improve. If you violated a company policy like attendance or misuese of company equipment, etc. than most likely you will be denied. Not all companies chose to fight unemployment claims. If it is found in their favor, you can always appeal. At that point you will know what their case will be so you will be able to build your own refuting it. That you did everything you could to be a good employee.

In oklahoma they don't need a reason to let you go in your three month probation, and as long as you are on probation, they will probably deny your unemployment. That is the main reason for the probation. My employer hires threw a temp agency, so no matter if we are there 10 years, if our company fires us, the temp does not, we still don't get benefits.

Answer 4

File the claim. The worse they can say is, "No." It is doubtful that they will. The unemployment is usually based on the past 18 months worth of work, not your current employer. Of course, that varies from state to state.

I don't think they can. If you were there willing and able to do the job but THEY let you go, then you should qualify. All you can do is try. Good Luck!

You can always appeal but company is right while under probation they don't need reason to fire you.
