Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Being discharged for cause typically means the employee violated company policy, engaged in misconduct, or failed to perform their job duties adequately, which generally disqualifies them from receiving unemployment compensation. Eligibility for unemployment benefits usually requires the job loss to be through no fault of the employee.
