why not? In some contries. an act is presumed to be illegal unless it is specifically legalized. In America, if something is not specifically prohibited, such as applying for unemployment while filing a lawsuit is no prohibited, so have at it. This reminds me of a Russian story by Chechov, The Man who always wore a raincoat, who ranted against bicyclists because there was no law allowing bicycles. -JB
Whether to file a law suit would require the services of an attorney and, because most offer a no fee consultation on the matter, it's best to ask one for their advice.
Because unemployment records are confidential, and available to only the claimant and the employer claimed against, you have to contact your state's unemployment office for the information.

Not enough information is given to answer the question properly. You MAY be eligible but you would have to check with your local State Unemployment Office. Under the circumstances, don't be too surprised if your former employer challenges your filing for them.
Generally not, if the employer can prove their case with the investigator from the state unemployment office.
This would depend on the basis for the disciplinary action. Under your own state's unemployment security laws the employer is allowed to discharge a worker for a variety of reasons. If those reasons are allowed and proved by the employer, the unemployment office would find for the employer and you would not collect.
Accusation is one thing, proof is another. File your claim with the unemployment office and their investigator will check out all the facts.
Unemployment law differs somewhat from state to state. The best thing to do would be to contact your state's unemployment office and ask them what the rules are there.
An employer can't deny unemployment benefits; only your state's unemployment office and approve or deny unemployment benefits. It's up you state to determine if you are eligible to receive benefits.
It depends on the specific requirements and procedures of your state's unemployment agency. In some cases, your previous employer may be contacted to verify the reason for your job termination. However, this can vary, and it's best to consult with your state's unemployment office for accurate information.
No. That would defeat the whole purpose of the unemployment laws. Contact your state employment office to report this.
Yes, in fact, the employer is specifically asked for such information.
An employer may do any number of things, but that does not mean its legal, ethical, or allowed by the state's unemployment office. When you file your claim, the investigator will check out your story with the employer and vice versa to determine the truth of the matter.
