If you lost your job through no fault of your own, then you could be eligible. There will be an adjudication process in which an interviewer contacts you and the employer to get statements of the events that led up to your termination. The employer has to prove that you did something wrong to lose your job. For example, theft, broke a policy over & over again after being written up several times, etc. It is possible to receive benefits. If you are denied, appeal it!
It depends on the circumstances of the firing. If it was for downsizing, a bad fit, company cutbacks, you may well be eligible If the firing was for cause, such as failing a drug test, stealing, lying etc. you may not be eligible. Check with your local unemployment office for a decision.
It depends on your state's allowable reasons for being fired as to whether you are eligible. If fired for reasonable causes (theft, drugs, violence, insubordination, etc.), then probably not.
Yes, if you were fired for no fault of your own. The state will investigate your claim and if they find you were innocent of violating reasonable company policy or any other punishable offense, they will most likely award you the benefits.
no, unless you were laid off

Another answer:Yes, if the firing were through no fault of your own. This would be determined by the state investigator examining your claim.
