I believe it varies from state to state. You might try google. Generally speaking, if your employer says they fired you for poor performance or rule-breaking you will not be eligible for unemployment benefits.

You should also know that you can't expect to receive compensation if you quit your job without a compelling reason, such as safety issues or disabilities that are keeping you from doing your job correctly.

Good luck.

i think unemployment benefits are generally paid by your previous employer...which is why there are all those rules.

No, I'm quite certain it's paid by the state. The rules more likely exist to prevent abuse of the system by lazy assholes.

I think employers pay a certain amount of money per person, per dollar, towards unemployment. It isn't like if they fire you, they have to start paying you. It is sort a tax. And the government suppliments it. I think.

If you work for Target, you can get yourself fired for stealing something like say, a candy bar ($0.50). In which case they'll put you in an office for 4 hours on your paid time ($10.45/hr). And you can pay them the $0.50 cents for the candy bar, and make a gross profit of $41.30 before taxes. After that you can recieve your 80 hours of vacation time, and end up coming out on top $877.30 richer before taxes. smile

Good luck with that job stuff.
