griseyda from Temecula asks:

i was not fired from my job can i still file for unemployment?

Statepay support representative suggests:

Yes, you can still file for unemployment. Actually, it is extremely difficult to qualify for unemployment if you have been fired (versus being laid off). Assuming you have been laid off, your chances are stronger that you may qualify for unemployment insurance. Apply as soon as possible- the longer you wait, the less you may qualify for.
