Can I apply for unemployment benefits if I was fired from my job?

Yes, you can still apply for unemployment benefits if you were fired from your job. Eligibility for unemployment benefits varies based on the circumstances of your termination. To be considered eligible, you must have been laid off due to reasons unrelated to your performance or conduct. However, if you were terminated for misconduct or any actions that violated company policies, your eligibility might be affected. The Rhode Island Department of Labor and Training will review your case, assess the reason for your firing, and make a determination accordingly. It is essential to provide accurate and detailed information when filing your claim and be prepared to provide any supporting documentation if needed.
