Absolutely! Eligibility is partially decided by whether you lost your job due to your own fault (crime, harassment, insubordination, drugs, etc)
No. You are not supposed to receive unemployment if you were fired "for cause," meaning you did something wrong. If you apply for unemployment, the employer has an opportunity to dispute your eligibility, in which case your application will be rejected. There is a chance the employer will not take that opportunity.
One can file for unemployment any time they are laid off, furloughed, or terminated from an employer covered by unemployment insurance. Whether that person receives unemployment benefits or not is dependent on the the conditions of separation, federal, state and local law, and sometimes the outcome of an appeals process, or special circumstances that temporarily alter benefit eligibility. Such circumstances may be a decree from the President or Governor due to widespread economic hardship, or massive layoffs from a key employer.
Unless there were extremely unusual issues in your separation, no. You can file on employers you worked for in the previous 15 months in most jurisdictions.
If your employer paid unemployment tax, then likely yes. A good resource for more information can be found here in the Related Link below, under Requirements for eligibility.
First, simply ask them. Then, if you are filing a claim for unemployment benefits, the state's investigator will find out, in order to determine your eligibility for those benefits/
They will be asked the same questions you were asked by the office when you filed your claim. The state needs to verify your eligibility and double check your answers with those given by the former employer.
No, the employer cannot call you at home to demand that you get off unemployment. When you begin drawing unemployment, the employer does not pay directly - there is a fund in which employer deposits are being placed and that fund is where the unemployment payment comes out - nothing to do with your ex-employer. If your ex-employer is harassing you; however, you should call the police and BBB.
Although laws vary from state to state, generally speaking a determination is made after information is obtained from the claimant and separating employer regarding the cause of the discharge. If it is found by that the claimant contributed to the discharge by violating an employer's policy or behaving outside of the interests of the employer, a disqualification is imposed.
Experience-rating plan
An employer does not need to respond to unemployment agency investigators for you to get unemployment. It's only when they answer in the negative that you might have difficulty getting your benefits, if they can prove their case.
You have the right to file for unemployment, but if you receive a severance package from your employer you may be violating the terms of your severance package by filing for unemployment.
They come from the state. Your employer pays unemployment taxes to the state and the federal governments.
