you cannot get unemployment if you are terminated (ie: fired) you get fired over doing something wrong, you won't qualify. you only get unemployment if you were "laid off" like there wasn't anymore work at the job, or the the company was down sizing and had to let you go. It was out of your control. Then you can qualify. You can't make yourself get fired and get unemployment. They do contact the employers and check as the other poster mentioned if they find out you were terminated then you don't qualify.
Once I hired some hillbillies off craigslist for a move and they worked for a few hours and the next day I got a call from the unemployment office to verify their work hours lol they went and filed for unemployment over a job for a few hours.
what you say makes sense to me. but I still want to leave the company. I just can't see the future in the company.
