My former employer refuses to do employment verifications or to give references.
Is that legal?

There is no federal requirement that an employer has to complete employment verifications.

No, have your new company put it in writing. They have to at least say you were either terminated or resigned. If you get no response, contact the Dept. of Labor office in your area(Federal). Employers do not like hearing from them and will cooperate immediately.

You should be able to prove they employed you with your records. No they are not required to talk to your new employer. It is polite and professional to do so, but that helps explain why you left.
