actually from what i know you can get unemployment if you are fired if it wasn't your fault. like for instance they fire you b/c you aren't performing up to their standards you can get it but not if you screwed something up.

If you are fired , you can get unemployment. But if the employer fights your case.. You will get zip.... as long as the employer has all proper documentation... You are screwed.

And usually you will get unemployent while the case is being faught. If the fired employee looses.. they may have to pay the $$ back in some cases..

when you get laid off they should give you a separation notice, take that paper to the unemployment office and fill out the application. They will get back to you in a week or two and then you go back in and get setup.

BTW, you can get unemployment for being fired or laid off for up to 6 months.
