Am I eligible for unemployment if I was let go from my job for being late 3 times
December 3, 2013
A) In most cases, being terminated from a job for being late would be considered misconduct and could result in disqualification from unemployment benefits. However, eligibility requirements vary by state and there may be certain circumstances where you could still be eligible. It’s best to check with your state’s unemployment office to see if you qualify and to find out what steps you need to take to apply for benefits.
