I would file and argue for benefits if denied. It will cost you nothing.

If she was fired without cause and the employer lied, sure file for unemployment. If she was fired for smoking crack and lighting the building on fire, don't file - it's a waste of everyone's time and state resources.

To ease your anxieties, I can assure you my wife was not smoking crack nor was she committing arson.

Probably afraid of realizing her full potential I imagine.

I don't know why, but this makes me think of a sign I bought in Colorado when I was twelve that read "The more you run over a possum, the flatter it gets."

File anyway. If you are fired, reason or not, file. At some point, someone at the state may notice a pattern and start taking action on it.

  1. It doesn't work like that.
  2. It's unethical. If you know you won't receive unemployment (e.g., intentionally lighting the building on fire) and you apply anyway, you are doing something you know is wrong.
  3. It's a complete waste of peoples' time - have some respect for people who are there to do their job.

That doesn't apply here. The company clearly put something false in her letter.
