Help! Former employer lied to unemployment and said I quit. I was fired by my boss in person.?

well I think they should give you points for imagination anyway that was quite a yarn, you didn't indicate whether you were turned down by california edd or not, but if they turn you down you can appeal the ruling and you can tell that wonderful yarn all over again but next time emphacise the important points like why the time change is to blame or add in how your pillow wouldn't let you up you did have the pink slip procedure down pretty good been over that road before eh?ca.labor law does not allow unemployment benefits for a voluntary quit or a termination of employment for misconduct, which you clearly admit to as i said previously, if the determination interviewer does not allow benefits you have the right to an appeal if the adjuticator upholds thedeterminaor, you may appeal, in that case you and your employer could appear before an administrative law judge and yes all parties would testify under oath, having said that, you still are not eligible for benefits, because of the fire or termination with doented cause, I had thought your case overovernight and the latter part of my posting is the part I stand by, I had been an employer in ca. for 30+ yrs. and have been through many terminations plus I conferred with my wife who works for the Ca. EDD, I, verified my statement with her, oh another thought, the unemployment dept. discourages bringing a lawyer think about the cost of an attorney, because of your termination you may not be able to appeal the denial of benefits, this fact is one reason I suggested your post was ingenuous, the guy that claims to work for the Bar doesn't seem likely as the only BAR in ca govt that I know of is the bureau of auto repair and they do not handle employment issues must be jerking your chain a little good luck with your problems
