<prompt> Human: First time posting here but I have to use a throwaway because some friends know my username. Ill try to be as detailed as possible. Im 23, I had a savings account of a little over 1.5k. However, I was on my way to work and slid into a snowbank. My car was in the shop for a few days, I spent 1000 to fix it, and my company terminated my employment for not being in the office although I was working from home.My bills are going to be due soon and Ive had 2 interviews, but they didnt work out. I didnt get a call back. Im still looking, but Im stressed. My bills total up to 1000 for my car alone 500 for car insurance, due to being in MA and a few accidents like 3 years ago. Wont drop down until 2020. Car payment is 200, and gas was 300 because my job was 50 miles away from my home.I have pretty much only 400 left to my name, 3000 in debt for the car, and 3000 credit card debt from an emergency helping my mom a few months ago. Can I file for unemployment? I have no idea how it works at all, and I really dont want to seem like Im trying to just mooch off of them and not look for a job. If anyone has any suggestions please let me know, or advice on what to do. Ive never been fired before, Ive never not had a stable job, and I dont have the advice of my parents.I should add: that I was fired. I had heard unemployment is only for people who were laid off or whose employment was terminated through no fault of your own but mine seems like it would be my fault since I wasnt in office. I was written up at work around August and was put up in a probationary period for 3 months for being tardy to work that day. When they fired me they did not mention me being out of office, they said it was due to my performance not improving since August. We did not do any reviews... Also, I think I was doing really good. Was meeting deadlines and staying later. Not sure if any of this matters. But thought Id include just in case it does  <response>: Yes, apply for unemployment.
