Nope. There are firings with cause that have nothing to do with legality and it turns out that’s most of them by far. You can legally tell customers to lick your balls and you will probably get fired for misconduct and then you won’t get benefits. What constitutes “misconduct” varies by state but none of them require you to break the law.
You can’t collect unemployment if you get fired.
It depends. I was terminated under false pretenses, so I collected unemployment without any issues.
Yeah you can. You forfeit UI if you quit voluntarily. You’d only lose it if you got fired for doing something illegal, I think
That’s my understanding too.

Probably more protections in blue states I’m guessing
