If you were fired from the company on the basis that the job was not suitable for your position and if you were terminated on the reason that the company has reduced the production and cutting off the employees then you may be qualified for unemployment benefits.

If you were out of work for a prolonged time during the base period because of a medically verifiable illness, injury, disability, or pregnancy, you may be able to use an alternate base period. If you meet the requirements, TWC could use wages you earned before your illness or injury. If you qualify under both a regular and an alternate base period, you decide which base period to use. To have a payable claim you must:

Have wages in at least two of your four base-period calendar quarters and
Have total base period wages that are at least 37 times your weekly benefit amount and

If you miss a hearing for a good reason (for example, you had a medical emergency), you may apply to reopen the judge's decision by writing to Department of Labor. You will need to give the reason(s) why you did not appear. If the judge finds that you hold a good reason, the judge will reopen the case. The judge will hold the hearing without you and will decide your case without hearing your side.

Each day or part of a day of work causes your weekly benefit rate to drop by one-quarter. For example, if your weekly benefit rate is $100 and you work three days and earn less than $405, you may receive $25 in benefits. If you work two days, you may receive $50 in benefits. If you work one day, you may receive $75 in benefits. If you receive partial benefits, it extends the length of time you may collect benefits. If you earn over $405 in any week, no matter how many days you worked, you cannot receive benefits for that week. If you work less than four days in a week and earn $405 or less, you may receive partial benefits. Each day or part of a day of work causes your weekly benefit rate to drop by one-quarter. For example, if your weekly benefit rate is $100 and you work three days and earn less than $405, you may receive $25 in benefits. If you work two days, you may receive $50 in benefits.

It depends on the circumstances on what basis you were fired from the company you were working. If you were fired from the company on the basis that the job was not suitable for your position and if you were terminated on the reason that the company has reduced the production and cutting off the employees then you may become qualified for the unemployment benefits. If you are fired on the basis of misconduct behavior then you may not be eligible for the unemployment compensation. Misconducts in behavior are treated over violation of company policies or rules, falsifying records or any other serious misbehavior related to your employment. If you are fired from the company and you are still not aware whether you are eligible or not over the compensation claim, verify with your concerned State Unemployment Office to clarify over your eligibility for unemployment compensation claims since the eligibility requirement varies from state to state in qualifying unemployment benefits.
