You can get unemployment benefits, however be very careful. I did this and the employer came back on me later , after I specifically asked them f i could draw unemployment benefits , and they said yes. They came back a year later and said I quit, which is a complete lie. Can you trust your employer to be honest? I was not able to with Hargers Acoustics.

They were fine with it at the time , now they have changed their story and decided to lie to the unemployment law judge. Ihave appealed, however if I lose the appeal I may be required to pay it back. This really sucks because I would never filed in the first place had the company been honest with me. So now I lose my house and file bankruptcy because they have changed their mind and decided to lie about the whole thing. Does this seem fair? Be very careful if you cant trust the employer.

Apparently, from what I have read, most employers deny an employee unemployment benefits if they were fired. I was just terminated from my job after 11 years and I have been told that even though other employees were not fired for this same reason, I cannot collect unemployment. Good Luck.

Bad answer. Employers cannot deny former workers benefits. STATE UI agencies deny benefits to most folks fired for misconduct.

This is a tricky one. Unemployment is reserved for people who lose their job through no fault of their own. If you quit, especially during this economic crisis and with jobs so hard to get right now, they will wonder why?!?! When you file for unemployment, they will schedule you for an adjudication interview. Both you and the employer will be contacted. This will be your opportunity to provide information as to why you quit. The reason has to be very compelling in nature and you have to prove that quitting was your only option at that particular time. There also has to be an extenuating circumstance as to why you quit that day and that time. For example: if you quit due to harassment from your boss, then you will need to prove it. You will need to submit proof that you went to human resources, other managers, etc to report this on going harassment. You can provide a written log of incidents with dates and times and witnesses. It is all about the burden of proof when quitting and you are the one that needs to prove it.
