Unemployment eligibility when you're fired or suspended

Unemployment benefits are not available to all workers. If you file for unemployment benefits after the employer fired or suspended you, a fact finding will be conducted to determine eligibility. CTDOL recommends filing for benefits even if you think you may not be eligible as applications are approved on a case-by-case basis.
