Question

Can you receive unemployment insurance if you get fired from your job?

Answer 1

Depends.  If you were fired through no fault of your own, you probably can.  If you were fired "for cause", then you will not.

Answer 2

You have to purchase it before you get fired.

Answer 3

Sometimes yes. It depends on the circumstances of you getting fired. Its always a good idea to file anyways just in case and also it may qualify you for retraining programs.

Unless you stole or told ur boss to go f@ck himself then you should be able to qualify. And yes the number of insurable comes into play when determining if and how long you qualify for.

Answer 4

Usually they only give this out for a lay off, but it really depends on why and under what circumstances caused them firing you

Answer 5

Eh at least when it happened to me it was a big No there is rules to how they give unemployment benefits and usaully if you get fired they wont give you benefits.

Answer 6

Yes--if you have worked long enough.

**I've gotten it twice.  Once because my company shut down, and of course we were all laid off.  And the other time when I got fired because my back went out.

I don't think we can buy unemployment in America, I've never heard of that.

Answer 7

Here is how you can obtain it.

Call Manpower or another temporary agency.  Work for a company for one day.

Then work for another company for one day.

After you have two days of working for a company after you were fired, then you are not required to be effected by the third employer back.   So, after the second one-day job, file for unemployment.

Nice trick.

.........and it works.

Good luck!
