Probably not. In order to be eligible to collect unemployment benefits you must meet a series of requirements, the main one of which is that you may not be fired (or lose your job at any fault of your own). Additionally, To qualify for unemployment insurance benefits, a worker must:
* Have worked a certain number of weeks during the year
* Have earned a certain amount of money in the past year
* Be actively looking for work

Can any person collect unemployment in Washington state if you are fired?
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.
You were terminated for attendance can you draw unemployment in North Carolina?
You should check with your local unemployment office; but in almost all cases, if you are terminated for wrong doing or quit your job, you cannot collect unemployment. Otherwise, people would just get a job and do something to get fired or quit, just to get the money from unemployment. You may want to check to see if your state is a fire at will state. That reduces your chance of collection unemployment dramatically.

If you have worked in Georgia an you live in TN how can you draw unemployment from both states?
You wish!! If you are on unemployment in Georgia, but now live in Tennessee, you would apply for unemployment in Tennessee. Your records would transfer and you would be paid in the state where you live.Another answer:You can only draw unemployment from the "liable state", Georgia in your case, because that is the state that your employer paid the unemployment taxes, through the payroll taxes, to. You might file with Tennessee, but they would only be helping you receive the benefits from Georgia.
