The Department of Labor reports that $10.3 billion in benefits were handed to individuals who were not supposed to receive them in fiscal year 2012.
Given that the program paid out $90.2 billion, that means the Federal-State Unemployment Insurance program’s rate of impropriety for the year hit 11.4 percent.
Paymentaccuracy.gov, which discloses the data, contends that the majority of improperly allocated funds is due to “individuals [who] did not meet their active work search requirements, continued to claim unemployment benefits after they had returned to work, or were ineligible for benefits because they voluntarily quit their jobs or were discharged for misconduct.”

I fired one of my employees for doing a side job for the customer I was building an addition for, get this, IN THE ROOM I HAD JUST BUILT! He filed and got unemployment anyway. When I called to complain, the woman said the deal had been done, and he could collect. So, that's how they are handling unemployment at the office!
That was not a valid reason to fire him, get it?
Well, it might have been a valid reason to fire him but not a valid reason for him to be denied unemployment benefits.
Maybe you should have been paying him more then he would not have needed extra money.
5:13 State law determines eligibility so do some reaseach and see if you have a case and if so request a hearing. An employee fired due to misconduct is not always eligible for unemployment.

Your own statement nullifies your statement about asking for a hearing.
If the state determines eligibility you are asking the for a hearing on their judgement?
Perhaps you meant 'appeal'?
