You apply for unemployment and plead your case. The statements will be sent to the former employer to respond. If they do not respond, you will likely be granted unemployment benefits. If they do respond and you are denied, you may appeal and a hearing will be set. You and the case worker/hearing officer as well as employer will be given a hearing date. In the interim period before the hearing where all three (3) parties call in to parse through the allegations, each party may send to the officer further proof of their claim or rebuttal to be presented. Once this is over, the former employee and employer will be advised of the outcome/decision.

Can you get unemployment if you were getting paid under the table?
You have just learned a lesson about honesty. Your former employer wants to cheat the government and you went along with it. Now, you have learned that you were cheated too. Unemployment benefits are funded like insurance. Employers pay into the state and federal "insurance" plans. People who lose their jobs apply for the benefits that their former employers paid for. All is not lost. Maybe you are eligible for welfare once the baby is born. I hope this helps. Gary
How can you collect unemployment if you quit in California?
If you quit in California, you are not eligible for unemployment, because you had a job, and you chose to leave it. That’s said, I have had many employees quit and still file for and receive unemployment.The valid reasons for unemployment insurance are you were laid off, and ready to work immediately. Here is the list from the website:EligibilityAn individual must meet all unemployment insurance (UI) eligibility requirements in order to receive benefit payments. Eligibility requirements must be met when a UI claim is filed and whenever a certification is submitted before benefits can be paid by the Employment Development Department (EDD).Filing a UI ClaimAn individual who files for UI benefits must meet specific eligibility requirements before benefits can be paid. Individuals must:Have received enough wages during the base period to establish a claim.*Be totally or partially unemployed.Be unemployed through no fault of his/her own.Be physically able to work.Be available for work.Be ready and willing to immediately accept work.Be actively looking for work.Be approved for training before training benefits can be paid.*Employers report wages to the EDD for each employee. The EDD uses this information to decide if an individual earned enough wages in a base period to establish a UI claim. A base period is a specific 12-month period. For example, if a claimant files a claim that begins in April, May, or June, the claim is calculated based on wages paid to the claimant between January 1 and December 31 of the prior year.The minimum weekly benefit amount is $40 and the maximum weekly benefit amount is $450. For more information about how the Department calculates a UI claim, review,How Unemployment Benefits are Computed (DE 8714AB), A Guide to Benefits and Employment Services (DE 1275A), and the California Employer’s Guide (DE 44).Certifying for UI Benefits
Can you get unemployment benefits if you've been fired for a DUI?
All he can do is apply for the benefits and see what happens. The unemployment office will contact his previous employer and find out the details of what happened so don't go with the lie part there. After that the unemployment office will make their decision.
Can you receive unemployment if you haven't had a job in a few years?
I would say no, and here’s why. In most states, you need to have been laid off or terminated without cause (as opposed to being fired or quitting) in order to be eligible for unemployment benefits. If you quit due to an unsafe job environment or long-term harassment, you can often appeal an unemployment benefits denial (I have a friend who did this). But again, the ability to obtain benefits, the amount of those benefits, and the time you have to file for them, will vary from state to state.Also, remember that unemployment benefits are fully taxable. They don’t withhold any taxes from unemployment checks, so be prepared to face a pretty stiff tax bill the next year.
Can you collect unemployment if you are fired for theft or suspicion of thief?
Of course you can file, but your employer can fight the claim if they feel your termination was a result of misconduct. If they (your employer) fight your claim for umemployment, you can request a hearing which requires them to cite their charges (or suspicions). If you think you can beat it (i.e. they have little evidence or you were falsely accused), make sure your request that hearing. Don't stop when he get those "denial" papers. The hearing is usually pretty informal. I'm not sure a judge even presides, usually it's a few members of the unemployment board. Your former employer may send a lawyer on their behalf... if it's a smaller company, the director of HR might attend. The hearing is usually scheudled two to three weeks after the DENIAL comes through. In the meantime, work with the unemployment office and continue lookling for work. Gather ALL the evidence you can that supports your case. You can't walk in their spouting off about how you feel screwed. Your employer has a paper trail, you need to have one, too. If there' a co-worker who helps your case, ask them to appear. If they can't, have them write down their testimony and make sure it's notarized (any bank will notarize their affidavit.... they'll need to show ID and it might cost $5.00). Your employer will use any data they can to deny your claim.... anticipate their complaints so you aren't taken off-guard at the hearing. Good Luck. Dont let the man get you down. Many employers deny unemployment claims simply because they doubt you'll follow through and request a hearing. If you're guilty, look for another job. If you're innocent, follow the advice above.
