Employers have the right to fire shitty employees and they can contest your benefits since unemployment is funded by employers. Lots of claims may increase the unemployment tax rate they're required to pay. They don't want to pay benefits to a poorly performing former employee - always late, took long lunches, didn't show up, etc. If they can demonstrate someone was unreliable or difficult, the state may agree and not pay unemployment benefits.

The unemployment office determines whether someone receives unemployment. The company may argue that "they" think you're not eligible, but the unemployment office decides.

Always apply and fight any denial. It's pretty easy to win unless you really fucked up. Point out their history of firing people before benefits kick in. Also, post their behavior everywhere.
