You can and should file. If your employer does not dispute it and you provide the unemployment office with a good reason for temination ( I would think something other than poor performance). You are not guranteed to get it, but I know that if you are denied that you may request a formal hearing to dispute it. A hearing officer will be assigned to get your reason for termination plus any documentation if any ( I hope that you think it was something other than poor perfomance) and then they will get your employer side plus any documentation if any. You have a 50/50 shot.

No. Why should you receive unemployment when you performed poorly on the job? Get another job, slacker!

Another answer:Yes, you might. Depending on your particular state's unemployment laws, substandard work may not disqualify you from being eligible. Also, merely being fired for a reason does not mean it is valid reason, which is why they have investigators from the state office verify the facts (from BOTH sides).

No. You only collect unemployment benefits from the "liable state" (which collected payroll taxes from the employer an applicant had worked for). However, if you had worked in another state during the current base year for that state, the "agent state" (where you live) can help you collect from that state.

Can you get unemployment if you worked for a nonprofit organization in Ohio?

Religious nonprofits have the option to not pay unemployment to the state. If they choose not to pay unemployment then the employee cannot collect unemployment. If they do pay unemployment costs to the state then the employee can collect unemployment benefits. Nonreligious organizations do have to pay unemployment, but they can pay the state one of two ways. As a state tax rated employer (same as a for profit company) or as a direct reimbursurer. In this case the employee is able to collect unemployment benefits. Referenced from www.chooseust.com
