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.

You have heard that you can draw unemployment for two years while you go to school full time Is this true?

I only know that on the continuation of benefits form (if you've filed for and been granted unemployment insurance) asks "Did you begin attending any school or training?" If you answer "yes", they'll set up a phone appointment to talk to you and see if you're still eligible. Maybe if you were already going to school when you got fired, you could still collect unemployment, but if you start after being fired, it seems questionable.


Can you collect unemployment if fired by fedex with 20 years of service?

If you were fired for cause, no. If you were fired for an illegal cause (discrimination) or the workplace had become oppressive, you may be able to. You can either consult an attorney with experience in this area or file your claim. If you get denied, then find a lawyer ASAP for your appeal.

Can you get unemployment if you get fired because of charges you had on file 7 years ago?

That depends on the laws of the country in which you live and what you put on your job application form. Some countries legal system's say that for minor crimes where the conviction was over 5 years ago, your conviction record terminates (the rehabilitation of offenders) and you do not have to mention it on legal documents. Thus if you made a job application after 5 years you could not be fired. However, if the 5 year period had not expired and you did not mention (if asked) the conviction when applying for the job, then you would have lied on your job application form and you can (and should) be fired for doing this.


Can you receive unemployment in Illinois while receiving military retirement pay?

I seriously doubt it... military income is deductable from Alabama state unemployment, and with AL's unemployment as low as it is ($265/week max), any retired military pay will most likely be more and therefore disqualify the retired service member. (Just got my denial letter yesterday.) Which is crap, as I've paid into AL's system for over 20 years & won't be able to use it, now when it would be helpful. Sincerely, -PissedOff
