<prompt> Human: Hey rpersonalfinance, I recently applied for unemployment benefits and I found out yesterday it was determined I was let go from my job for just cause though I previously made a post indicating that might not be the case. In my state this disqualifies me from receiving benefits. However, I am monetarily eligible, and received severance pay.Any advice on how to appeal this decision? Has anyone been in a similar situation?In any case Im not going to let up on the job search, but a little bit of extra money would be reaaally helpful at the moment. Hopefully I can find something soon.  <response>: You have a good chance of winning this appeal, but you might want to consider if you prefer to put that effort into just finding a new job.Being fired for cause means that you broke company rules, didnt show up on time, were insubordinate or some other similar reason. It does not mean they asked you to do X so you didnt complete Y. If you on your own decided to do X and failed to do your assigned work Y, then that is a for cause reason. But if they told you to do X instead of Y, they cannot then fire you for failing to complete Y.On the other hand, this seems like a terrible company. You are probably better off out of there. Just go get a new better job asap.
