fired because you stopped doing your job doesn't mean you get unemployment

Except you still do.

This. Some of you people need to understand that the unemployment office often calls both parties and get both versions as to why the claiment lost their job. If both stories are the same and sounds good, it's still up to the office to decide. If versions are contradictory, which often are, the employer has to prove the employee is lying through their teeth by sending copies of disciplinary actions, warnings or any other proof they have to the unemployment agent and, in turn, the employee has to defend against the claims... if they can. And even THEN it's up to the agent's decision. But I can confirm to you that any diligent employer will keep a copy and proof of every single misdeed of the employee.

When theres a dispute as to what happens between the claimant and the employer the case is sent in front of a adjudicator and/or judge. Now, Fortune 500 companies will concede before this as 1) its time consuming but most importantly 2) even if the employee is a total shit bag there is still an opportunity for them to perjure themselves. The juice isnt worth the squeeze.

Now, some shitty small company might actually show up and fight. And then it is up to the judge.

And to the point about jobs doing their due diligence they typically are hubris and do lazy work when it comes to firing folks. Even so, it gets the job done and theyre in the clear 95% of the time because, we, as a society are stupid. But for that astute person, theyll get their unemployment.
