According to the Employment Development Department, you are only eligible for unemployment if you are unemployed "through no fault of your own." If you were fired for gross misconduct, your termination is probably your "fault." Note that gross misconduct has to be something serious, like stealing or putting the company in jeopardy. If you were simply fired for being lazy, incompetent, stupid, etc., that generally does not count as a fault of your own.
However, you should file for unemployment benefits - or contact the unemployment agency - anyway as they will review each case individually. There is no downside to filing unemployment (do know that they will notify your most recent employer) and the worst that can happen is that they will say "no"! If they say no, you can still appeal.

yes:)
I think that it's 40 weeks
Unfortunately, if you're fired, not laid off, you won't be able to apply for unemployment. If you think you're going to be fired then put in your two weeks notice and preempt them.
yes
From my knowledge you can apply the day after you are fired and shouls receive some form of payment in about 4-6 weeks.
If you are fired from a job, through no fault of your own, you may be eligible for unemployment benefits. For the first 20 weeks, unemployment will be paid by your previous employer, after that, the state of New Mexico will pay the unemployment benefits.
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
yes
Well by asking your employer to "say you are fired" you are not only lying but also disqualifying yourself from unemployment benefits because being fired from your job is a bar to collecting unemployment. 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* Be unemployed through no fault of his ownQuitting without a valid reason or getting fired do not meet the above qualiications1.)http://www.legalmatch.com/law-library/article/unemployment-insurance-lawyers.html
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.
Unemployment benefits extended in the 2009 economic stimulus planPreviously, unemployed workers were eligible for 26 weeks of unemployment benefits. As as result of this bill, unemployment benefits was extended by 20 weeks regardless of which state they live in. In some higher-unemployment states such as California, there will be another 13 weeks of unemployment benefits available as well.Total weeks of unemployment available:Low-unemployment state - eligible for 46 weeks of benefits.High-unemployment state - eligible for 59 weeks of benefits.Increased unemployment benefits by $25 per week.Although it varies from from state to state, the average unemployment benefit payout will be increased by $25 to about $325 per week. Your claim lasts for one year, but the full amount is 26 times the weekly benefit amount, currently at $405 max.
Generally, no. Unemployment eligibility depends on the state; some allow unemployment payments if you were fired for cause, while many do NOT allow it. Unemployment is currently paid for 99 weeks, about 19 months. After 6 years without work, it's very unlikely that you could receive unemployment. But I suppose it's worth asking; what's the worst that they could say? NO! Then you're no worse off than you would be if you didn't ask. But I wouldn't count on it.
