Ok, let me give you the correct answer. You can only get unemployment if you are laid off or your assignment ends with no fault of your own. There are instances where you can get unemployment for wrongful termination but you normally have to go to an unemployment hearing to get it. The judge will hear your case and the employer's case to decide whether or not you qualify. If you live in CA, you'll get it since most employers don't bother to show up to the hearings.....good luck!

It depends on why you were fired. If you were fired "for cause", then probably not. "For cause" definition can be hard to pin down. If you got fired over a mistake you made, but it wasn't deliberate, then you can very possibly get unemployment benefits,.
File for it - the UC bureau will contact your former employer for information on what happened, then will make a determination on whether or not you'll get benefits.

Yes. Usually that is the only way to get unemployment. But there is some other exceptions to the rule. If this hasn't helped you contact your local un employment office and they will be able to tell you.. Good luck.

You can definately file for it. BUT, it all goes on WHY you were fired. If you were fired due to your job being eliminated or something on the company's part, you will probably qualify. However, if you fired due to your own lack of attendence, insubordination, etc; your company will deny the unemployment benefit on your behalf.
Good Luck!

In general,no. but you need to tell more info so I could find a way to help you. I was in the same situation and I still received my unemployment benefit

Typically yes. Take a look at your state's unemployment website.
Good Luck!

You can file for unemployement and it is up to your employer to approve. If you are elegible you will be penalized for 9 weeks.

I think so in most states, yes. Probably with a two-week waiting period. File as soon as they will allow.

yes you are. you are disqualified if you were fired because you lied on the application, committed a crime against the company, or resigned.

generally no although....I got it once because I wasn't fired for misconduct..just for refusing to work on my day off. You can try it....never hurts to try.
