Make a claim; the employeer will either choose to contest payment based on the reason they released someone, or if there is any grey area, probably choose not to contest it.

The laws should be the same everywhere. I won here in Maine. The company I worked for hired a new manager. who wanted to clean house. I refused to quit. Like the others. so He made a claim that my cash draw was over and short to many times. I went into the claims hearing. told the judge what was going on. Everything he did. claim he made about saying bad things about me. He said he was giving contstructive critasiom. I said saying your hair looks awful is not constructive. saying your hair would like really nice if you you did this is constructive. i looked more intelligent then him. then they brought up the cash draw. i told them I was not responsible as I was not the last person to touch the cash draw. it was counted by the office. And if I was stealing it would not be over. Let me tell you the big wigs and owners were so pissed at him, and if looks could kill he would have been dead. I won the case. You can't win if you quit, but if you are fired, make sure you have all the facts. I had another job in 2 days, but winning sure felt good. And he was dismissed within a year...

Probably. In most states, when you go apply for unemployment benefits, the employer has the right to state why they don't think you should receive benefits. However, YOU also have the right to appeal. I went with a friend to appeal once as a witness. She QUIT her job due to mistreatment by the boss. The boss didn't show up for the appeal the employee requested. My friend won by default.
Go for it. You have nothing to lose.

While you get your bearings back and search for the right work for you, you ARE entitled to this benefit you paid into as a taxed worker. The employer will fight probably as they have some responsibility to pay as well, so gauge if it is worth your while to fight for this or just let that bad experience slide off your turtle shell. Workers in this country are not wage slaves contrary to what some employers may secretly wish. Keep going cous!

Yes...but it depends on why you were fired. Once fired you are entittled to unemployment unless the company can show that you were fired because you were incompetant or that you were fired for breaking a policy ie....stealing or being drunk on the job then no you can't get it...otherwise you are entittled to it.

Well first of all you need to apply for your benifits to determine your eligibility....if you are turned down you must file an apppeal....there you will get a chance to tell what happened to a hearing (usually over the phone) it will ultimately be up to the hearing officer.....
