Unemployment Compensation

As a general rule you are entitled to unemployment compensation anytime you are involuntarily terminated from a job and not fired for misconduct. (This assumes that you are unemployed and were at the job for the requisite period of time.) However, to completely answer this question, I would want some more information because the status of your position is not entirely clear.
