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.

Thanks.
I got called on the last minute about something at work and they gave me shit about it on my day off. I sware, if I am still this pissed when I go in on Monday, someone is going to the hospital.
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.
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.
