Hello /c/adulting

Location: Overland Park, KS, United States

My wife was fired recently without warning. She has filed for unemployment and had an initial interview with the unemployment office today. They claim that her former employer told them that she was "not doing her job" but I have never heard anything from her regarding performance issues. They also claimed that they "talked to her about her performance" and she claims that they never made any attempt to correct her performance and was unaware that they were unhappy with her.

What does this mean for her eligibility for unemployment? Is there any recourse?

I don't know about that state but I had an employer in my state (I mean the llc was from a different state) who challenged my unemployment. The same employer (the guy who owned the small business really) had a severance package I could have gotten if I would have signed a statement an action I took on his orders was my fault. Well I didn't. He tried to say it was with cause to the unemployment office. Well long and short of it is I challenged the challenge and he had to respond with proof which he did not but it delayed getting any checks until I had another job and the unemployment checks that came were not meaningless they did just go toward paying late bills and again having some of a savings for emergency. Overall I lost money because if I had gotten the unemployment in a timely manner I would have been able to prevent late payments on bills. I would compare the process to challenging items on your credit report. The employer has the onus (at least in my state) to show proof.
