It depends on your state. In my state they will send you a wage determination advising you of whether or not you qualify for benefits. You will be given a date to "Claim your weeks" which should be approximately 2 weeks after you file your claim (in Florida). When you list employers on your claim a form is sent to them requesting information on your reason for separation. If you listed any of your employers as a separation due to discharge or voluntary quit, the matter will be investigated via a fact finding interview with you and your employer.
