Unemplyement Insurance

[RedneckHunter]

What is the name of your state? TEXAS

My GF was recently fired from Home Smeavpo for a short till. She has only ever been a dollar or 2 short once or twice in the 4 years she was there. Here recently they said she was short an "undetermined amount". The place has cameras over each register and it was agreed by loss prevention that she did not "aquire" the missing amount. It took them almost 2 weeks to come up with this.

Now she is trying to file UI. The guy on the phone asked her specifically "did you steal the money?"


Can they ask this of her?

Of course they can. She is free to answer "no."

That's basically what she said.

Now the asshat Manager (whom already said he would NOT disputer her unemployement claim infront of witnesses) is now disputing it and my GF was denied because the managaer stated she broke company policy for "misconduct". Home Depots company policy on a short till (why she was fired) is if there was misconduct then the store would call the police and a ticket for THEFT would be issued. Well my GF received no such ticket as Loss prevention saw NOTHING suspicious etc.

This is affecting me as I cannot pay all our bills on my Salary (we live together).

If she has had unemployment benefits denied she is free to file an appeal.
