Can you get unemployment if you are fired for cause?
Generally not, if the employer can prove their case with the investigator from the state unemployment office.
Can you still receive unemployment if you were fired for stealing but not prosecuted?
No. You are not supposed to receive unemployment if you were fired "for cause," meaning you did something wrong. If you apply for unemployment, the employer has an opportunity to dispute your eligibility, in which case your application will be rejected. There is a chance the employer will not take that opportunity.
If you quit a part time job so you can collect unemployment due to the loss of your primary income and your part time employer does not inform you that you will lose your unemployment benefits?
The unemployment benefits in all states are intended as insurance for the "non-voluntary" loss of employment, i.e., layoff or RIFs [Reductions in Force]That means, with a very few exceptions for extraordinary circumstances, that if a person VOLUNTARILY QUITS a job, then that individual IS NOT ELIGIBLE for unemployment benefits.The employer paid, payroll based, "premium" money "paid" to the states is only barely enough to cover the operation of the unemployment system offices and staff, and IS NOT the same money benefit recipients receive.The money in a weekly unemployment check is paid by the last employer who terminated the recipientAlso, in Texas [I am unaware of other states], self-employed individuals are not eligible for unemployment benefits. Ostensibly, the reason for this is that if the self-employed individual is "out of business," then how could he pay his own unemployment benefits!Because of the last employer having to pay the weekly unemployment benefit checks, when a terminated individual files for benefits, the claim is forwarded to the employer who is allowed to challenge the claimant's eligibility to receive payment of the benefit.If the employer claims, and can prove, that the employee voluntarily quit, OR was FIRED FOR CAUSE, then the employer can "kill" the claim, preventing the need to have to pay the benefits, and thus preventing the ex-employee from receiving any payment.

Is there a such thing as wrongful firing?
Yes. If you were fired without cause you can take your case to the unemployment office. If your employer does not have documented proof that you have been warned about problems on the job and just fired you without cause they will have to pay your unemployment.
Why must employers keep employee records for unemployment benefit claims?
Any time a former employee files for unemployment benefits, the unemployment office must contact the employer to ascertain the reason for the employee leaving his employment. If he were discharged for cause, the employer must prove his case or it goes against his record with the state and the employee qualifies for his benefits.
Can you only file for unemployment if you were terminated?
Actually, you cannot file for unemployment if you were terminated--you are only eligible if you were terminated without cause. Even so, some jobs may not be eligible for unemployment benefits. The easiest way to find out would be to ask your former employer.
If you were fired from a job in North Carolina can you get unemployment benefits?
If you were fired for cause then many states do not allow unemployment. The only way to know for sure is to apply.
Can you collect unemployment and receive back pay at the same time?
Most states will merely offset your benefits by the back pay in the week(s) received, but you must report it or it will cause problems.The state unemployment agency will ask the former employer the last day you worked for which you were paid. It will deny you benefits for any day you were owed pay.
Who determines unemployment benefits if you quit your job?
The state unemployment office determines it based on why you quit. Did you have good cause? Good cause is determined by the state and its unemployment office and is documented in their cases that were previously resolved. What was the reason that you quit is the primary question. Was is due to your ignorance, lack of following the rules of that company. Or was it deception on the part of the employer. id the employer lie about the hours or wages. Are they cheating you on your wages or are you the real problem that caused yourself to quit
How long do you have to be employed in Indiana to collect unemployment?
You must work long enough for your employer to have contributed to the unemployment insurance fund. Depending on the type of work, normally employers contribute to the unemployment insurance fund monthly, quarterly, semi-annually or annually. A good rule-of-thumb to follow would be 90 days, but check with your employer, because of the date of employment which may cause contributions to vary for up to 6 months.Here is the official requirements:Like other types of insurance, the unemployment insurance program requires that you meet certain conditions before qualifying to receive payment. To qualify, you must meet both personaland monetary eligibility requirements.A monetary determination will show the wages paid to you by employers who have contributed to the unemployment insurance fund during your base period (the first four of the last five completed quarters before the beginning of your claim).Benefits are figured by the amount of earnings during this 12 month base period. A weekly benefit amount is determined by the calendar quarter with the highest earnings.
When can you receive workers comp weekly benefits?
In the state of Kansas, and in most states, I believe, in the United States, you are eligible for unemployment under the following circumstances: > You lose your job due to lay off. > Your previous employer contributed to the unemployment system. and > Your previous employer contributed to the system during a particular quarter. You may not get unemployment under either of the following circumstances: > You were fired for cause. > You quit without cause. I tell others to file for unemployment in any case because in most cases "fired for cause" is not handled in a way to make it official to the state. Often you are simply told not to show up anymore. If you quit for a reason this is also allowed. You may have been mistreated, the job was unsafe, etc. What most people do not realize, and I know this because this happens all too often in construction, is sitting at home for a week or more is the same as a layoff for lack of work. You can draw unemployment under the layoff rule even though you expect to return to work. If you know for certain you will be going back to work and know WHEN, you can often draw unemployment without looking for other work.
