    I know each state is different, but in Ohio, if you were fired for justified cause, you don’t qualify for unemployment.

    Does that rule not exist in Kentucky? I find it hard to believe that Ohio is doing something better than…anyone.

      Im fairly sure “joins the unemployment line” is being used to mean he got fired, not that hes literally queueing for benefits.

      Hes in jail. You dont get unemployment in jail.

        Then whoever wrote that headline needs to be fired. You know, justifiably. Without the unemployment line.

      Jail notwithstanding, the ‘justified cause’ exception is very narrow. It covers things like working against your employer’s interests (e.g. leaking info to a competitor or stealing clients) or not showing up.

      I’m not sure that his actions, by themselves, would’ve disqualified him from unemployment compensation in Ohio.
