Workers are usually eligible for unemployment assistance if they are terminated for no fault of their own. However, experts say that if they leave a job on their own volition, violate company policy or are terminated with cause, they could forfeit these benefits. Jason Habinsky, chair of NY-based law firm says, "Generally if you do something bad, commit misconduct, violate company policy, then you are disqualified from receiving unemployment benefits. If you leave on your own or are terminated for a reason, you're not eligible." In similar terms, refusing a company's vaccine policy in most cases could disqualify a worker from receiving assistance.
Individual state departments of labor review unemployment assistance claims on a case-by-case basis and take all circumstances of the employee's termination into consideration. New York state's labor department has already made it clear on its website that workers in healthcare, schools and nursing homes who quit or are terminated for refusing the vaccine will not be eligible for the unemployment assistance.
