Can any person collect unemployment in Washington state if you are fired?

Answer 1

In most cases, yes you can. You will receive notification once you file for Unemployment. When you file you select fired for attendance, or if that's not there then select fired/disqualified. Once you have filed you will be sent a letter and asked to call a number and claim (although no money will be given at this point). After about 5 weeks you are asked to do a phone interview where your employer, an Unemployment agent, and you will participate. Most cases your employer won't participate but there are some that do. After the interview they will determine if you were fired because of an ongoing medical condition or if you just didn't go to work. If your reason is the latter, you will most likely not receive benefits. If you do have a recurring medical condition, then mention this to the claims interviewer that you talk to and they will ask you to fax this info to them to give "evidence" to your claim. You will receive notification from the Unemployment center after approx 3 business days if you will receive benefits or not. Basically, if you get the unemployment you were penalized 5 weeks without benefits because of the attendance issue.

Answer 2

You cannot get unemployment if you were fired for attendance. You generally cannot get unemployment if you were fired for any reason.

Answer 3

You have to be a resident of the state where you apply for unemployment. They will contact the company you were fired from (wherever it was), and it will go on from there.
