To draw unemployment you have to lose your job through no fault of your own. That means you cannot collect unemployment if you quit your job or get fired. However for example you get laid off then yes you can draw unemployment.

You can, but for "too much" some states will deny you or want valid proof of why you kept missing work. If you can't find another job quickly enough, it's worth a try.

Can you collect unemployment in Texas if you get fired?

You are usually eligible to receive unemployment benefits even if you were fired so long as you were not fired for "gross misconduct," the definition of which is determined by the state unemployment agency and seems, in Texas, to include "work-related misconduct, neglect, or mismanagement" according to a Texas Unemployment website (see "Related Links"). You have nothing to lose by filing for unemployment benefits and should do so right away. Include all pertinent information so the unemployment agency has as much information as possible. They will contact your previous employer and will allow you to dispute anything your employer says, but make sure you are being honest and have documented the situation well.


Can you receive unemployment while in college?

Yes, in most cases, especially if it is an approved course/institution.

Severance when file unemployment?

It is actually sometimes possible to receive unemployment benefits while on severance pay. It depends on the state you live in and how much severance you are receiving. If you cannot file for unemployment, you may be able to after the severance has run out-depending on how long unemployment extends for in your state. This article goes into the specifics of severance and unemployment. It can be tricky.


Can you collect unemployment if you were fired for attendance in Florida?

Your former employer is responsible for paying a portion of your unemployment. It's really not fair to them to make them keep paying you even though they fired you for being a lousy employee. So, probably not; you might want to contact the unemployment office anyway just to make sure. In general, if you were terminated "for cause" (meaning: you got fired because of something you did, like not show up for work), you're much less likely to be able to collect unemployment than if you were "laid off".

Can one work and still draw benefits from unemployment?

That depends upon how much money you are earning from your work. If your earnings are relatively low, you may still qualify for unemployment benefits. However, if your earnings are high, then in effect you are no longer unemployed, and should not receive unemployment benefits.


If you are currently on unemployment and can only get a part time job that does not meet the 400 per week from unemployment does unemployment compensate for the balance of the money?

Each state has its own formula for determining how much you can earn and still receive a partial unemployment compensation. In most cases there will be a deferential payment, but it depends on the difference and what the minimum payment they pay.
