How does unemployment insurance work?

Question

I live in the state of illinois. Does the money that a person recieve come from the goverment 100% or it is 50/50 between the goverment and your previous employer. If you were discharged can the company deny any benefits or how does that work
what is considered a direct violation? i was discharged because i worked at a call center and was accused of dropping calls but that's not true and when i asked them if they recorded it so that i can hear it the company denied me from that and told me the tape was not available at the time

Answer 1

The employers pay the state based on experience ratings so a company that has a lot of layoffs pays a higher rate. When you apply they will ask why you are unemployed and send a letter to the employer asking. Your employer wills say you had misconduct, you will claim you didn't. They will want a conference call to talk to you and the employer at the same time.
They will decide if you were let go for misconduct or not and give you benefits or not. Find a new job immediately since you may not get any benefits or they will be delayed.
