It depends on your state’s laws. In some states, you may be eligible for unemployment benefits if you are fired for a dirty urinalysis, while in other states, you may not be eligible.

In general, states will consider whether or not the employee’s drug use affected their job performance or safety. If the employee’s drug use did not affect their job performance or safety, then they may be eligible for unemployment benefits.

For example, if an employee is fired for testing positive for marijuana, they may be eligible for unemployment benefits if they can show that their marijuana use did not affect their job performance or safety.

However, if an employee is fired for testing positive for a drug that is known to impair job performance or safety, such as cocaine or heroin, they are less likely to be eligible for unemployment benefits.

If you are fired for a dirty urinalysis, you should contact your state’s unemployment agency to find out if you are eligible for benefits.
